"I travel all the way across town just to see Dr. Cockrell. \n\nHis team and staff are warm, friendly, kind, and always have the latest Highlights out for me to read, just like I like.\n\nLook. Dentists can be scary. It's weird having people you don't know hold your mouth open. You feel exposed. Judged.\n\nThat's still pretty much the case here, but at least get your teeth worked on by people who enjoy their jobs.\n\nI've had extensive and exhaustive dental work done here and have enjoyed each and every interaction I've had with the staff, from receptionist to hygienist to dentist.\n\nEven when I request for them to wear the bubble gum flavored gloves.\n\nEven when I miss my appointments and they have to call to remind me.\n\n...and even when I'm late on my bill and they have to call and remind me.\n\nUs creative types must be tough patients.\n\nGo forth and get that smile pearly!"^^ .
