Very helpful figuring out insurances and $$. Okay, I am not a fan of being at the dentist… which is an understatement. I am generally sore from head to toe due to being so tense and my hands hurt from gripping the arms of the chair… and that is for a cleaning. I really struggle to go to my happy place when a drill starts. What I like about Dr. Vaughan is that he doesn’t try to gab and chat me up while he’s working in my mouth and I can’t answer anyway. I haven’t had to listen to any innane chatter between him and the assistants either. HIs assistants are all well trained and often start and finish procedure for him allowing him to move on to the next person. This all works really well for me. I can try to disengage and forget I am there and mentally check out as much as possible. This isn’t the sort of office where you are going to go in and be offered coffee and tea and bottled water and neck wraps. They have a pleasant waiting area with some stuff for little kids. Erica at the front is really helpful when it comes to dealing with insurance and helping you figure out what gets covered and doesn’t… thank you! She has been the most spot on estimator I have ever had. If you are looking to be in and out in an hour, it will probably not happen. However, I called Tuesday due to a tooth that I had sheared part off and the filling on that part had come off and they fit me in today to get it fixed. For me, the no frills and get it done works. They do offer a prescription to help take the edge off, but you will need a driver and maybe not go back to work after so if you need that, you need to plan accordingly.
