i found Dr. Bartkow to be a good dentist. his treatment plan for me was clear (and included several options that were thoroughly explained.) my pain management was reasonable; aside from the injection sites and physical requirements of my procedures, i did not feel any discomfort. his office staff is polite and efficient. i have and will continure to recommend Dr.Bartkow. i feel his rates reflect the quality of service and peace of mind i've come to expect. dentistry is generally expensive for my budget but payment options are available.
