I would recommend Dr Pavlov to everybody. Aside from being highly professional he is also very honest which I appreciate a lot. My story begins with me coming into the office 2 hours prior to my appointment because I had an awful pain and was hoping that someone canceled the appointment and I could be seen earlier. Unfortunately, nobody canceled and it was actually lunch time. Dr. Pavlov was about to leave his office for lunch but after looking at me in pain, he invited me into the office and began the exam. I turned out to have a very complicated case. This is where many dentists would tell me that I had to remove the tooth and would charge me double for emergency or any other reason. However, Dr Pavlov explained all the options to me and said that removing the tooth would be the easiest but not the best option and I should think about consulting endodontist and saving the tooth. I payed $66 for everything including exam, several x-rays, and detailed consultation. I appreciated the honesty of Dr Pavlov and the fact that his decision was based on my best interest rather than his profits. He could remove my tooth and make some more money out of it. But instead he recommended what was best for me.

I know this doctor: 1 month
