Beyond Happy!
I am beyond happy after my son's first visit here. He has been terrified of the dentist up until this point. I decided to try a new place and I am so glad we did. From the second we walked in, he was made to feel comfortable. There was no rushing and they gently and thoroughly explained everything to him. He smiled trough the entire visit. On the way home he even said, "We should go back sometime!". I can't ask for more than that!
