My first implant was a total success. He is now working on a second. Although he is very expensive he takes his time and so far has done it right. I have had no problems with my first implant. I found him personable and professional. His assistant was knowledgable and comforting. What he didn't explain, she did. The only pain I experience was the slight prick of the needle. I know no one likes this but it really wasn't that bad and he did apologize to me, several times actually. To me he is worth the money. Five stars.
