| - Let me just start that by saying THEY ARE AMAZING!!! I have been preconditioned by previous dentists to hate the experience of going to the dentist, but for the first time in my life I can say that I have had positive experiences in the dental chair!
I have this condition where local numbing medication doesn't numb me like it is supposed to. Every previous dental visit at other clinics usually amounts to me telling the dentist that I still feel the pain while they act at first surprised, then astounded, then finally incredulous as they continue to drill away while I white knuckle the arm rests.
On my first visit with Dr. Temp 5 years ago, I told her this and she explained that in a small percentage of people that is an actual thing. Not only did she believe me (which was a first), but she knew exactly how to take care of it. She also explained that she has equipment to counteract that and numb teeth that can't otherwise be numbed. When I had to get a root canal I was amazed when finally for the first time in my life a dentist was able to numb my tooth before working on it! Things couldn't have gone better. She was caring, efficient and my tooth was numb throughout the procedure!
Dr. Temp is a wonderful, caring and compassionate human being who takes the time to explain whats was going on and what needs to be done. She also is great at talking about preventive dental care to prevent issues in the future. On the day of my root canal she won a patient for life. I could not be happier with her services.
Their new office is in a great location and is modern and up to date. Their staff is friendly and courteous, but also respectful. I have found the hygienists here to be very good as well. I am very impressed with the aesthetics of this clinic. I don't have dental insurance so I was really worried about the bill. He office manager explained the pricing, and I was blown away at how reasonable their amounts were compared to other clinics I have been in.
A few years ago my usual dentist Dr. Temp was out of the clinic for the day when I had a dental emergency. They were able to work me in immediately and I saw her partner Dr. Guffey who was able to treat me and fix the emergency the very same afternoon. I was worried that not seeing Dr. Temp would be like starting over with a whole new dentist, but Dr. Guffey was just as skilled and confident. They make great partners and I would have no reservation about seeing either, or about referring family and friends to the bests dentists I have every know.
For all these reasons Mountain View Family Dental earns all 5 stars (super rare for me)!!
