I wish I had seen Dr. Raben a long time ago. I wouldn't have the damage to my teeth that I have today. When Dr. Raben did my checkup, she showed me on a monitor what she was seeing. She seemed much more knowledgeable and interested than any previous dentist. She told me her concerns about what she was seeing in my teeth. I felt comfortable asking her questions. She took time to explain things to me. She wanted me to see a TMJ specialist before she did anything major. Her office arranged it for me. Had I received this help earlier in life, I know my teeth woud be much healthier today. She did fill a tooth for me, and it was painless. I am anxious about dental work, but I had never had such a good experience getting a filling. It was painless. The office is clean and pleasant. The front desk is friendly, cheerful, and helpful. The assistants and hygienists are very competent. I had to have my filling adjusted a couple times, and both times the assistants were understanding and encouraging considering my cowardice. I don't know how the cost compares to other dentists. Her office filed my insurance and I paid what was calculated to be my part. I am so glad I found Dr. Raben and would highly recommend her.
