I have been to many dentists, and while all have been kind and affable, he is the first one that hasn’t made me feel pressured into a procedure. He also does all his own work and the Novocaine shots never hurt. I got quite tired of being sent to Chico to specialists by other dentists, for things they should have been able to do like root canals or work on children. He and his office staff are wonderful, always pleasant and NEVER make me feel bad for not coming in more, or for letting a bad tooth go too long before coming in, he just x-rays it and tells you what the prognosis is and what needs to be done. And they try really hard to get me in if I’m hurting. He has a charmingly simple small office, no fancy equipment, or multi TV, computer filled rooms, just a down to earth, get her done dentist. Quite refreshing.
