I have hated dentists and ANY type of dental work (even routine cleanings) all my life. It has always been an unpleasant experience which has made me avoid it for years. Dr Gearin and her staff have completely changed the way I look at my dental hygienist. From the receptionists to the techs to Dr Gearin, everyone is professional, considerate and thorough. It may sound a bit odd, but they are also extremely efficient and to-the-point, which I really appreciate. I get in. I get out. I get on with my day. Thank you for changing 40 years of bad experiences and making me want to go to the dentist!
