5 /5 Seth Hazen: Let me start by saying that in my nightmares, the Devil always wears a Dentist coat.
Ive had a lot of bad luck with dentists that I will not get into.
Recently I was facing a major decision regarding my teeth.
I made an appointment with Dr.Gordon and everything went smooth the first visit. They did all the x-rays, cleaned teeth and then Dr.Gordon came in, did his exam and explained to me the options I had.
He answered every question I had and put me at ease, helping me make my choice easier.
Well the day came and I had to get a lot of teeth extracted. He took the time to make sure I was numb and told me when I would feel pressure, etc. He kept reassuring me and kept the mood light despite my anxiety and fear.
When we moved to the last two teeth to go, they were "hot", meaning very infected and the root was not getting novacaine. No matter how much novacaine I got, when he tried to pull the tooth it hurt bad.
Most dentists would leave you in pain to make an appointment with an oral surgeon, not Dr.Gordon.
He drilled to the root (yes it hurt for a second or two) and then injected the root directly (hurt like hell for two seconds). After that he was able to pop them out.
He is the only dentist I will ever go to.
His staff cleaned me up, made sure I understood the aftercare directions and provided me with what I needed till the next day (follow up appointment 24hrs later).
What I went through was not easy, but Dr.Gordon made it 99.5% pain free.
Ive never even liked a dentist before, I love this man.
He is a true professional of his craft and he cares about his patients.
