Being one that has always had problem teeth, I am always nervous about going to a new dentist. I have had experiences in the past that were somewhat demeaning. Dr Staffel and his staff never belittled me, or made me feel uncomfortable. Everyone from the receptionist, to the hygienist to Dr Staffel's assistant, Debbie, (must get her name in there, she's the best), have been very caring, friendly and sincere. I have had a lot of work done, from root canals, to fillings, crowns, etc, and Dr Staffel has always been careful to make sure I am not feeling any pain. I recently took my kids in for their checkup's. It was a pleasant experience for them, as well. I actually don't mind going to the dentist any longer, and look forward to visiting with the staff.
