Reviewed on June 25th, 2019 • Verified patientI should probably start off saying I hate most medical professionals. Too many of them are unyielding in their "always right" attitude, and often not flexible enough to really meet the needs of patients. Not so with Dr Monica. When the initial exam showed we'd need to do some deeper cleaning than the norm, she accommodated my extreme fears around needles (novicane) in multiple ways. One of her amazing dental assistants even resourcefully used an x-ray vest as a makeshift weighted blanket to help keep me calm throughout the whole procedure. This is the first time in a dentist office I've felt cared for as a whole person beyond the state of my mouth. Also, everyone there, starting from the front desk in, are so upbeat and friendly! 110% recommend.This review is the subjective opinion of a patient and not of Opencare.Was this review helpful?{{ reviews[76926].errors[0] }}0 found this review helpful
