Dr. Skordeles is very friendly, warm, and kind. She worked with me in terms of my insurance, and was very personable. I did have a complicated case, in her defense, so this might not be in line with everyone's experience. But in terms of my actual treatment, things did not go so well. I had a tooth that was badly damaged, and although I appreciated that Dr. Skordeles recommended a conservative approach to the problem, it ended up meaning a lot of unncesssary time in the chair when I was really upfront that I was afraid of the dentist and had been traumatized in the past. When I went to other dentists and specialists for a second opinion (5 in total), they all immediately stated that the tooth was a lost cause, that it was far beyond what a general dentist could deal with, and that I should take a different approach (which, although not what I wanted to hear, would have saved me much time, money, and anxiety). I think she's a great dentist for everyday maintenance or cosmetic work, but I'd seek another opinion for complicated issues.
