“First, I have to say that I have always purely hated going to the dentist. Hate it. After avoiding it for about ten years (I know, I know), a year ago it really was necessary to go: crowns, fillings, a thorough cleaning. The most important thing to say is that going to the dentist no longer fills me with fear or shame. It might be a stretch to say that I look forward to it, but it simply isn’t unpleasant. It’s no longer something I put off or avoid.

The immediate results were terrific. Dr Fiscus was prepared to give a lot of detail, but he respected my preference just to get on with things. His approach impressed me as holistic and the procedures were far, far less uncomfortable than I expected.

The staff, which has been a big minus with some other dental care providers I’ve had in the past, is good. The hygienist completely changed my expectations about what it’s like to have my teeth cleaned. It’s NOT a miserable experience. The hygentist doesn’t lecture me about being a far from dedicated flosser, and ironically I’m taking better care than ever of my teeth. The business manager, who handles reception and insurance, has kept things sorted out with our insurance company, which has made things much easier.

I knew that things were at a point that it was imperative to get my teeth fixed. I didn’t expect that the process would be as easy as it was — and I truly did not expect to feel positive about ongoing dental care. It has been a real transformation for me.”
