I found my dream dentist (if there is such a thing) ... the problem is he only does root canals :( bye. Dr hardy and his assistant had the most polite, concerned, caring bedside manors of anyone i have ever met.. they were quick yet efficient. They gave me a rx for motrin, said i would be sore for a few days... woke up the next day feeling better than i had in weeks.. very little soreness. Im really bummed that i cant have these people as my regular dentist. This was my 3rd root canal... and the only one done at apex.. i wish i had discovered them sooner. Highly recomended.
