| - So, it is my honor to give the first review of Shadyside Dentistry. Why, you might ask? Because in general, I despise dentists. Not the people, but the work. With someone who was born with teeth from (expletive here), it tends to be a terrible experience, each and every time I am sitting on the dentist chair. I discovered Shadyside Dentistry through a friend because I needed someone in the city and near work (1 block away, I might add) and I couldn't have been more pleased.
Upon my visit, I found out that I had to have a bit of work done because I had not been able to see a dentist for a short while due to insurance. This will never happen again, I promise you. Either way, my hygienist, Ms. Gonzales was the nicest, funniest, and most calming person I've ever met in a dentist's office before. She not only understood my angst for the profession, but actually made me feel relaxed and gave me a simple explanation of how I was going to be fine. If you get the opportunity, ask for her.
The dentist? The big man himself is amazing. I had several appointments within a short time frame, and they couldn't have been more of a joy to work with. Dr. Leahy was the nicest man who took his time understanding my needs (and wants) and also was able to work on my teeth in a way that did not frighten me. I may be well into adulthood now, but childhood nightmares still haunt me in those offices. He was caring, never pushy, and I can't believe I'm saying this .. a dentist I enjoy seeing. That may be the first time that's ever come out of my mouth.
Long story short ... they're awesome.
ps ... they have a dog (now two, I believe) that roams the office. Nothing could be better than that.
