Dr. R has been my dentist since I wore braces as a teenager. He is a terrific dentist. He was my sister's dentist 20 years ago when she lived in NY and her dentists since then have always remarked what an excellent job her first dentist did. I've gone to dental hygienists not referred to by him and they've always remarked on the dental work done also. He's a perfectionist--he did my 4 capped teeth. If it didn't match the color of the rest of the teeth, he would send it back until it did. I trust him completely to fix, repair, update, whatever he has to do for me to keep my teeth till I'm in my 80's. I've also recommended him to at least 6 people, if not more in the past 20 years. He definitely puts people at ease. I've gone to him as a kid-terrified of the dentists and wouldn't let them near me. Since going to Dr. R, I'm not terrified--I know my teeth are in the best hands.
