I was terrified to go to the Dentist. In fact I did not go for 21 years. Not until one of my back molars broke while on vacation. A friend referred Dr. Brooks in Burbank. He is awesome and explained every thing to me. Besides the broken tooth I only needed one filling, I brush allot. Any way, I have since been back for cleanings and to remove my silver fillings for white. The best thing about all of this is I look forward to going. I take 2 Advil before I go and have NEVER, EVER felt any pain. In fact I almost fell asleep last time I was there - as he as drilling. All of the people there from the assistants to the front desk are wonderful. AND out of all the times I have been there I have NEVER waited over five minutes. Most of the time I get there right on time and I just walk in say hello and they user me right in to the chain. And within minutes ( I am not kidding) they are working on me. I recommend Dr. Brooks 100% He is an A+ Dentist. I went from being terrified of the Dentist, to actually looking forward to going. Just a note, I think allot of people know how good he is so when you call for an appointment, don't be surprised if you have to wait a month or two to get in to see him. But it's worth the wait.
About Hygienist: The Hygienist at Dr. Brooks is Great. What else can I say.
