He's a gnomish Romanian with a quirky demeanor. But, he fixed a difficult filling for $54, and a routine one at a later date for just $41. This is through a group buy plan called Carrington. The plan is highly recommended. It really drives down the cost of care.
I think that his chairside manner probably doesn't win him too many patients, and his offices aren't inspiring...kinda quiet and depressing.
But my objective was to keep up with dental care when I didn't have the means or the job that included dental insurance. So he filled the bill.
I'll take a little interpersonal awkwardness for competent work at a very affordable price.
