I had a molar removed and am scared to death of any/all dentistry. He calmed me down and walked me through everything. Something I loved it he hid the numbing needle as it was coming toward my mouth. Also his nurse called a couple days later to check on me out of the clear blue. Now that's incredible. Giant thanks for my calming dental experience. Dr. Machado is truly a gifted and great bedside manner doctor. He returns calls and answers your questions immediately. Thank you. Gera
