Supportive, very tolerant of my intolerance for pain, office staff also very kind and thoughtful, I don`t have to feel so bad about not liking to have dental work done. Does not make fun of me or ignore my needs and fears. Is very accepting and very patient through a long and complicated course of work that had to be done. Seems very knowledgeable and current in his field of work and very precise and persistent in his manner of working. I have a great deal of maintenance work because of a genetic problem and he is my choice for my dentist through all of it. If he feels it is beyond what he is comfortable doing, he does not hesitate to refer for specialist consultation and/or work.
