Direct and to the point, not much on the bedside manor. BUT, he won't do procedures unless it's in your best interest and his costs are fair. He has been a dentist for years and is an 'old fashioned' dentist, meaning he doesn't have several patients he is working on at the same time. You get a regular room, he takes his own x-rays and does the cleanings as well. He is very compassionate, if you so much as twitch, he will stop and asked if you felt anything.
