Like everyone, I deeply dislike going to the dentist. However, today I walked out of the dentist literally feeling more relaxed than before I walked in. Here’s why: First, the office staff is so unbelievably kind and helpful. They ran my insurance before I came in and again when I was at the office to avoid any surprise bills for me. In this economy, that diligent checking is a huge relief. The office itself is in a new, fresh building. Parking was a breeze. I was seen immediately and everyone was so, so lovely. The X-rays were not your traditional X-Rays where you sit panicking and sweating under a lead vest for what seems like hours as the tech leaves the room to take the picture. They have the newest, latest technology so the x-rays are far less stressful than the outdated techniques. The room I was in was beautiful. Light, airy. Big window with a view of trees and the mountains. So much better than those sad, sickly, dreary spaces I was used to. And best of all? The chair you sit in during the cleaning was a massage chair with heat!! The dentist, Dr. Joelle Abed Elahad, is a true gift to the practice and dental patients everywhere! I felt so secure and she was so fast and so gentle at the same time. I’ve been in a lot of medical offices and I only wish half the doctors I saw were as compassionate. 10/10 could not recommend more. See you all in six months!
