I hate going to the dentist. Any dentist. The word "dentist" makes me break out in hives. I can handle childbirth, broken limbs, and my favorite restaurant being closed on a Monday, but I just can't handle needles in my mouth, or anywhere in my general vicinity. That being said, I recently had a series of appointments with Dr. Fowler, and I highly recommend her. One of those appointments was for an emergency root canal, and I STILL recommend her. There are several things that are important to me when I see a new health care provider, but the number one thing is that they listen to me and take my concerns seriously. They didn't laugh when I said I have dental phobias, and when I pointed out a sensitive tooth, they didn't heartlessly whack it with a metal hammer to make SURE I was telling the truth...they just believed me! I know, I couldn't believe it, either. My cleaning experience with them was the best I have ever had..gentle, thorough, and, because the hygienist took her time, nearly pain-free. Dr. Fowler is extremely approachable, and she treated me like a person, not like her next appointment. Best part about all my visits with Dr. Fowler? The dog! Dr. Fowler has a teeny tiny hypoallergenic dog that jumped into my lap every time I have been in a treatment chair and cuddled with me through the entire ordeal. No amount of nitrous oxide tops fondling a dog for pure anxiety relief :-) I love the casual atmosphere of this office, and I very much appreciate that they have altered their schedule in order to accommodate me when I was in pain.
I highly recommend this dentist and her support staff! read more
