Dr. Froehlich is the best dentist I've ever had. I moved to Portland two years ago and, being a reluctant patient, did not go to the dentist until recently. She is very thorough, kind, and concerned. I got a filling today and it was completely painless. I've had some bad experiences in the past and she was completely understanding and made me feel very calm. I would recommend her to everyone. Her staff is extraordinarily nice and down to earth. I've had a lot of fillings in the past and have cried in the dentist chair before, which is embarrassing and makes you not want to face the dentist again. When I got the novocaine today she made sure it didn't hurt, and instead of leaving me alone for ten minutes to let the novocaine and my dark memories kick in, she and the hygienist sat and chatted with me, and I got through the process more relaxed than I've ever felt in the dentist chair.
