| - From the standalone stylized sign out front, to the well-appointed waiting area, Okun Dentistry is a class act.
I met Bruce Okun IRL (in real life) and through our conversation, I found out he is a dentist. After he asked, I sheepishly admitted it had been about 4 years since a cleaning, and I always put it off trying to fit it into my schedule. He was very sweet but insistent. I really felt it was not just for his business, he was personally interested in having me in for a visit. I was excited!
After some discussion over the phone, I found out he didn't take my insurance, but his daughter Amy did. On arriving, the receptionist was very friendly and while handling a few calls, acknowledged me and got me my forms between calls.
Terri took me back to the area that I would get my work done. I was very impressed with all of the facilities. The complex the office is located in is older, maybe 1960s I would guess, but you wouldn't know it from the inside of Okun Dentistry. While taking X-rays, I asked Terri about the mouthpiece I was biting down on before each shot. She told me it was the film, and the x-rays were being taken digitally. Then she turned on a monitor and I was able to watch each x-ray come on screen. She told me this process reduced the radiation and it was so quick. She also took the chance to suggest better ways to remember flossing.
Dr. Amy Okun came into the room after the x-rays were done and she was very friendly and polite. Briefly looking at my intake form I had filled out when I got there, she asked if I was local. We found out we had some overlap in our lives (she went to high school with my older siblings) and throughout the cleaning we chatted about things. It definitely took my mind of the sound and feeling of metal as it scrapped along my teeth. She teased that my teeth are boring and that I didn't need any work at all. She complimented me on my oral hygiene and my set of chompers (my words, not hers).
Okun dentistry is a delight. I would recommend them to anyone and everyone.
