My dental hygienist is Laina and I can’t say enough nice things about her, along with everyone else who works at The Dental Anesthesia Center. Laina is polite, patient, makes sure I am comfortable throughout the entire appointment, and answers all my questions thoroughly. The two dentists I have seen there have also been great (Behl and Thoms). Everyone there works together to create a kind, peaceful atmosphere. I never feel like I am bothering them with questions or rushed through my appointment, even though they are booked all day. I really love this about them and I hope it never changes! To run such a ‘tight ship’ AND provide patient and top notch care at a place most people feel uneasy, seems like an impossible feat, but somehow they do it. And they all do it seamlessly!!! So grateful I found this place which I highly recommend.
