Dr. Asness is very careful about pain control. He creates a soothing and relaxed atmophere. His chair side manner is excellant and explains exactly what he is doing and why. I would recommend him to anyone i know, especcialy to people & children of people who instill a fear of dentistry. His office is unimposing & down home with out any " bells & whistles". he,s there to fix the problem carefully as is posible. He definetly knows what he is doing & what the patient needs.
