. . . Yes, I said enjoyable. I know many of you may have had terrifying experiences at the dental office. I am here to tell you that it does not have to be that way. With the technology available today, careful and gentle hands, and for some, mild medications, we can make your dental experience enjoyable. Some of you may have been to dental offices where you have been rushed through treatment, had lengthy waiting periods, little time with the doctor, inflexible payment policies and in some cases, don't accept payment from insurance companies. This is not the way we believe patients should be treated. We believe in customer service. And, because my office is small (only three treatment rooms), and because we work a relaxed but steady schedule, I am able to spend more time with my patients to discuss treatment or simply find out how your family is doing. This is my promise to you: I will give the best that is humanly possible, whether it be dental treatment, advice regarding treatment or just sharing my time with you to make you comfortable. My staff will give you friendly service that you most likely have never seen in a dental office. And, most importantly, you will always be treated with courtesy and respect.
