I am a VERY anxious dental patient and he was patient with my phobia. He's not particularly chatty, which is fine, and answered all of my questions in detail. I would recommend him. Not only that, but he moved to a different office, and I'm going to find what office he's in now to get the rest of the dental work I need done. The other dentists in the office are fine, but I trust his opinion and ability more than most dentists, so I'm following him to the other office.
