I am a new patient here and met with Dr. Bazargan for the first time yesterday. I have not been to a dentist in FOUR years and have a pretty legit fear of the dentist. I used to go to a specialist who worked with patients with dental phobias, but it was too expensive for me to return. Three different people at the office recommended Sonoran Desert to me because of how caring and calm they are, which is something I could certainly benefit from with my situation. They were AMAZING. The hygienist who helped me for the majority of the time was so kind and gentle, and she could tell right away that I was nervous. Her name was Ginger, I believe. We talked about my fear and my past experiences, and she even used the lower setting on her scraping and cleaning tools for me. Overall it was a great experience, and I am so happy that now I can go to a "regular", affordable dentist without having to take drugs first!! Oh also-- no cavities! :)
