Shiny clean offices, good parking, timely service. My dentist was Dr. Ryan Lau who is about my age with a cheerful, casual yet professional disposition. My dental hygienist was, actually, also similar in personality! I was received into the dental chair within 5 minutes of my appointment time. The cleaning seemed to take a while, but maybe that was my problem.... There was some office banter in the background so I got a little insight into the social lives of the staff, but I find that enjoyable (aren't we all a little voyeuristic on some level?) and reassuring that it's a happy place. After my cleaning the dentist was in to see me right away. The hygienist saw me out at the end to give my my goodie bag and a chocolate treat. I thought the chocolate was a little strange, some mixed messaging. But lets face it, I may have administered some self medication of the cocoa variety after the trauma of teeth cleaning. Okay okay, I ALWAYS eat chocolate after the dentist.
If you have children, there is a fun looking play station (in the old sense - a wire and bead labrynth) in the waiting room. I interviewed the hygienist about baby's first dental visit and I'm confident that she would be a good introduction for my son to the world of dental hygiene visits.
I'll be back - but not before i absolutely have to. It's still a dentist after all. read more
