Patient Impact

"A 68 year-old lady came to me claiming she is a true dental-phobic and has not seen a dentist for over ten years out of fear. In fact, she had only seen a dentist a handful of times throughout her life due to this fear. Two extractions, several crowns, and a bridge later, she still writes to me to thank me for taking her phobia away."
