Just had two appointments over the last few weeks and could not be happier with the experience. I'd had some lingering tooth pain that had gone undiagnosed/unresolved at previous offices, but Dr. Anita finally realized I had several cavities that needed to be filled. I was naturally nervous to go back for my first ever fillings, but between Stevie, Elizabeth, and Dr. Anita (and some help from the gas they offer to anxious patients) it went more quickly and smoothly than expected! They were even able to do all three without any freezing.
