I've been going to Dr. Machado's office for 9+ years.
His staff is amazingly friendly. They always remember me and ask how I and my kids are doing. They are always very complimentary "(you're doing something different with your hair, I really like your shirt". Yes, on the surface, socially chatty, but it makes me feel like I'm visiting friends. This makes the overall atmosphere for me feel relaxed and comfortable.
Dr. Machado is a very empathetic person and is very responsive to possible/subtle nuckle-tightening on the chair arms when I am feeling anxiety. He immediately recognizes this and will take a couple minutes for a time-out to ask how I am feeling and what he can be doing differently to make me more comfortable. I remember a specific incidence when I was pregnant and needed to have some work done. The shots made me feel light-headed/woozy and he dug into HIS OWN LUNCH to give me his orange juice - straw and all - that brought me back to normal.
I have had THOUSANDS, yes THOUSANDS, of dollars of work done on my teeth (insert childhood dental baggage here - never had ANY preventative treatment, cleaning or otherwise) and I have never regretted a single penny spent on him.
He is amazing with his communication...
out of 5 stars
