Dr. Kauftheil has been my primary dentist for the past 2 years. During this time he put in a crown and did a number of fillings in addition to the usual checkups. The work he did for me was excellent, I haven't had a single problem with the crown or any of the fillings and they look great too! He has a good bedside manner, is professional and friendly, and is always willing to answer any questions . I never felt like I was being pushed into an unnecessary procedure and I take him to be as honest as they come. Is he a "cheap" dentist? Not exactly, but you get what you pay for. During the past year I've recommended Dr. Kauftheil many times and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him again.
