This dentist seems competent and did a good job caring for my teeth. Patients in his waiting room said he was great and that they'd gone to him for years. My first appointment was very stressful, though. I thought I was going in for a cleaning and exam, and his assistant said we would start by doing some x-rays. I expected about 4 x-rays, and after about 15, I finally felt I had to ask what was going on. I was then informed that they wanted to do a full set of x-rays (about 24, I believe). They prefer to do a ton of separate ones b/c they get a clearer view than from a panoramic x-ray. I felt this should have been explained to me before they began. I wasn't comfortable being subjected to so many x-rays, but by the time I found out their plan, I felt I had no choice but to finish. I also had to pay $20 extra for a gum exam, but I was not told until checkout that there would be an extra fee for that. After a 90 minute 1st appt. I had to come back for a 2nd appointment before they would clean my teeth! They said the 1st appointment was just for them to see what was going on in my mouth. It was a busy time in my life, and I had not anticipated having to make time for 2 appts. in order to get a simple cleaning.
