It's true! Dr. Packer is the best when it comes to numbing before he does dental procedures. He has done fillings and bonding for me and it is actually a pleasant experience to have a visit. His staff is incredibly professional yet friendly. Thye have billing, insurance help, etc. down to a fine art! Unfortunately, I was informed that Dr. Packer is retiring this year. What a shame! I actually feel lucky that I have broken bonding and it gives me a reason to see him one more time to be able to tell him in person what a great dentist he is and to wish him good luck in his retirement.
