Kathi Mansell's practice is simply tops in my book. I trust her completely. Among the reasons: 1) she takes a conservative approach whenever possible -- not rushing you into work that can wait. Can't tell you how many times over the years she's told me, let's watch this tooth rather than "we have to do it now!" 2) I like the way she treats her staff members. The 'pleases' and 'thank yous' reassure me that these people are valued and respected team members rather than mere employees. 3) I have had a lot of dental work done and although I am usually apprehensive walking in (afterall, who enjoys a morning at the dentist), I often marvel at how comfortable I am throughout the procedure. 4) She actually cares about my comfort and my long-term dental health.
