Dr. Manuel is skilled, kind and personable, works well with her staff, has high work quality standards, is up to date with technology, and good at keeping procedures as short, painless and stress-free as possible.
She never ignores or forgets her patient, says what she's doing and why; answers questions and allows patient breaks. Though offering full dental care, including cosmetic procedures, she has never pushed me to have any unnecessary work done. She has repaired damage by others; monitors my ongoing dental health, recommending and referring as appropriate. Moderately expensive, but Dr. M & front desk know my dental insurance and work to keep costs down, and get the best care for my needs within its limits whenever possible. I have extraordinarily sensitive teeth; historically required numbing for the simplest procedures. Never have I been made uncomfortable about my nervousness or pain threshold by Dr. M or her staff. Excellent referral to specialist for tooth extraction & implant. Dr. Manuel put in final crown. Amazingly, a positive experience. Patients leave checkups with bags of dental care products. It is clear that Dr. Manuel is committed to helping her patients gain and retain healthy mouths for a lifetime.
About Hygienist: Several different hygienists have worked on me over the years at Espresso Dental. All who have worked on me have been careful of my extreme tooth sensitivity, and never made me feel uncomfortable or that they were inconvenienced by it. All staff at Espresso Dental have been professional, skilled and thorough, never rushing, but getting each procedure done as quickly as feasible. Very polite and observant, informative with their observations and recommendations.
