Like one-in-five people I didn't like going to the dentist. And as a result of my high or dental anxiety and phobia I only went to the dentist when the pain I was experiencing (at the time) infinitely outweighed my fear of the dentist. 2 weeks ago, I experienced excruciating pain in one of my molars. The pain was so intense and relentless it was altering my quality of life. Finally, I surrendered and saw my dentist who then referred me to a root canal specialist (A.A. Doering). I scheduled an appointment with Dr. Doering's office and spoke with a very wonderful person who ensured me after our conversation that I, and I'm quoting, "would be pleasantly surprised." And boy was I! From the moment I entered into the office I was treated with such extreme care and professional, from the receptionist-to-the-assistant, and, of course, by Arthur Doering that I'm not gifted enough as writer to described other than by saying I was extraordinarily surprised. Not only did Dr. Doering describe in great detail the process while he was performing the procedure, but it was pain free, including the 5 shots he administered. The whole procedure once I was numbed lasted 11 minutes. And because of my "pleasantly surprised" experience I had with Dr. Doering and the staff, I am definitely going back for my 2nd procedure. Only this time I will sleep very well the night before. Thank you so much!
