I have always dreaded having dental work done to the point of having nightmares about it. So when it was time to have my wisdom teeth out I was petrified! Dr. Goeckermann did not make me feel silly for my fears and explained everything to me in a non condescending way. He even prescribed me a valium to take before hand and I was under general for the surgery. I woke up and asked if it was over& it was. My cheeks did not swell or bruise and everything healed wonderfully. I would trust him again in a heartbeat. Im not sure about the cost as I was well insured at the time and never received a bill, but quality almost painless dental work is worth the cost!
