I think if you have a cavity or some fairly ordinary dental problem he's probably fine. I don't actually know because after 4 visits he did no actual new dental work on me, although his assistant did, and I was charged around $450, I think, all but $50 of which my insurance paid, although that included x-rays. He seems semi-retired. His communication skills are poor but he is likeable, the staff is friendly, the office, while in a small mall, very clean and modern. I guess it's just that he doesn't want to do any cutting edge or complex dentistry, and to his credit did refer me to a specialist. It was just strange how long it took to do that. Almost as if you went to see a general practioner and you had cancer and it took them a month to tell you to see an oncologist. Just strange. It would seem like it would be very obvious to him what kind of work he felt comfortable doing. Anyway, I have mixed feelings. He might be a good guy for routine work and maintenance/prevention but be specific with him and make him be very specific with you.
