Let me begin by saying that I am terrified of the dentist. I mean TERRIFIED! So terrified that I waited 11 years to make my next appointment. (BIG MISTAKE!!!) I am 18 weeks pregnant and have had horrible pain in my top left molar and I told my OBGYN about it. He told me that I had to make an appointment with a dentist immediately or the infection in the tooth could possibly harm the baby. (UGH! NIGHTMARE!)
I searched for dentists in my area that were in my insurance network and then started doing my research looking at reviews online. I was very impressed with the reputation that Tempe Modern Dentistry had and I called to make my appointment. The staff on the phone was very friendly and completely understood my fear. I showed up to my appointment and explained my situation about being 18 weeks pregnant and receiving a clearance letter from my doctor to provide me with dental work and oh the fact that I haven't been to the dentist in 11 years! Elise (I think that's her name??!! I was so scared her name could have been Tom) was so friendly and understanding. She made me immediately feel at ease and I was so grateful for it.
I then met Dr. Payne who was AMAZING, AMAZING, AMAZING! Absolutely the most gentle, patient, and hilarious dentist I have ever met. He told me that I do have several cavities but he wants to only focus on the tooth that is bothering me right now and make sure he gets me out of pain. Most dentists would try to take all of my money and talk me into tons of procedures!
I ended up having a root canal done on Tuesday and a crown done on Wednesday. Dr. Payne and his staff were so amazing and I don't think they will ever know how grateful I am for them! I will be going back for more service and will NOT be waiting 11 years EVER again! EVER!
Thank You!
