The doctor is very attentive, maybe a bit chatty. The doctor seems pretty good. He's young, maybe not long out of school, but he seems very bright and more than capable. He probably just needs to be mindful of his assistants...maybe get a new one. His dental assistant was, I think, too rough. Hours after procedure I had broken skin at the corner of my mouth...took more than two weeks to heal. Very unsightly. The assistant wouldn't just hold the corner open but kept tugging and yanking it. I felt the tug but the area was numbed so the pain awareness came later. Not good technique on the part of the assistant.
