I went to Dr. Schauer for 4 years before moving, and always had a generally pleasant experience. I mainly went for regular dental check-ups/cleanings, but did have a couple cavities filled. The receptionist always remembered us and asked how we had been doing, and the hygienists were thorough and friendly. Actually, both the hygienists and Dr. Schauer were gentle in their dental work. I had a couple cavities filled and do not remember feeling any unusual pain, just simple, uneventful cavity fillings (I must mention that going to the dentist is generally not a anxiety-provoking experience for me, though). The only drawback was that on rare occasions the wait to get back to be seen was sometimes longer than expected, but that was the exception and not the rule. I would definitely recommend Dr. Shauer's office if you live in the NW Austin area.
