I had not been to a dentist for 15 years, but my naturally strong teeth were in pretty good condition. I felt like I had a cavity and we were planning a trip overseas so I knew I needed to have the work done quickly before we left. Dr. Robin Gallagher was recommended to me as a kind and painfree dentist. I told Dr. Gallagher and the hygentist how tense I was and how I did not like being there. They both were very understanding and respected my fears, turning on a fan for me and lowering the window shades. Dr. Gallagher explained each step of the process as he worked. He told me "not to look!" when he brought out the big needle because he knew I didn't want to see it. He is friendly but does not joke around about pain as other unprofessional dentists have done with me in the past. I think Dr. Gallagher is very competent and a truly understanding and kind person. The office is clean and welcoming, the staff is helpful with my insurance, and my routine cleanings are easy and thorough. The cost may be a bit higher, my insurance only pays for about one third, but I am comfortable and to me that is the most important aspect. I've been going there now for five years and intend to continue with Dr. Gallagher in the future.
