I used to fear the dentist, but no longer. Dr. Brown is calming and respectful and my favorite dentist ever. We have a family member who is deemed "Special Needs" and whom other dentists have refused to treat in the past because she is a challenge to say the least. Dr. Brown not only welcomed her to the practice with open arms ( literally! She greets her with a hug) but treats her so compassionately that she asks, almost daily, when she can go to visit with dr, brown.
