i started going to dr. foo because a close friend recommended her when i needed a local dentist. i had to give her a try when i was told about her humor and antics. that was about 8 years ago.
she is a down-to-earth dentist who can make you laugh while she's scraping off all that tartar. she makes going to the dentist not so scary unless you're scared of being scolded you for not flossing enough!
my own personal story came a few years ago when i had a cavity. i wasn't exactly thrilled to take care of it. fillings with my family dentist in chicago meant novocain from a ginormous needle in the gum, a world of pain even with novocain, and the stench of burning enamel. with dr. foo, i received no numbing agent. her drill has this nifty device that cools off the drill and tooth while drilling. it was painless! can you imagine getting a cavity filled and not feeling pain?
she thinks maybe we're all crazy to review our dentist in a public forum. maybe we are, but it's only because we're all in "the cult of foo." once you go to helen, you will want to recommend everyone you know. she is not only a fantastic dentist and woman, but she makes going to the dentist a fun, enjoyable experience. how many dentists can say that?
