I am a wuss when it comes going to the dentist which is why it has been over 3 years since I went but his hygienist was sweet and gentle with my cleaning and Dr Henckel told me that what I needed would be less than the other dentist I saw. Actually $1000 dollars less. Its hard to trust people when they only want to get more money from you and to me, he was completely trustworthy. I have recommended him to my family members.
