On the recommendation of a co-worker, I went to see Dr. Vala after having an unfavorable experience with a previous dentist and I needed to have a cavity fixed. I'm already a very fearful patient (not of the doc so much as the pain) but both the hygienist and Dr. Vala were very nice and put my mind at ease. He was also very informative about other concerns I had (TMJ, Tooth Sensitivity, Grinding) and gave what I felt was appropriate advice. He's not the sort of doctor to do unnecessary work and gives you options of what treatments to provide. He also has a certain sarcastic wit about him, which I found refreshing (my kind of humor)! Facilities were probably the cleanest I've ever seen and the decor looked very Spa-like. Equipment is top-notch. I'm sending my husband to him since he needs to visit the dentist, too. I haven't gotten any bill yet, so I cannot comment on affordability just now.

About Hygienist: Ashley the hygienist was very nice and informative (also dispelled some of my own beliefs about plaque that I had wrongly assumed). Didn't feel any pain or "gum picking" during the cleaning and did a very thorough job.

I know this doctor: 1 day, so far.
