Dr. Dejean has been such a blessing!
As the office is right down the street from where I live, I pass it often and have always admired its charm. As a smaller office, it carries so much character, similar to those that I recall from independent dentists from my youth. A fish tank, seasonal decorations, warm inviting colors, it's a welcome change from stuffy office buildings I've had work done in the past.
My partner needed an extraction and doesn't have insurance, and he was referred to Dejean by a friend stating that he would work with anyone to find a solution. He made a consultation appointment, felt very pleased and was happy to move forward with the extraction, which went very well and caused minimal pain and side effects. This led to him referring Dejean to another friend of ours, who also had a very positive experience.
A little while after, I broke a molar. It was 4:45 p.m. on a Friday, and as I was in the area, I figured - why not stop in just in case. I came in (clearly in pain) and Dr. Dejean was wrapping up his week and cleaning, and I explained what happened. Without hesitation, he simply said he needed to clean up but would be happy to see me. He also remembered my partner and ask very genuinely how he was doing.
He brought me back very quickly after, and immediately identified the issue. Unfortunately, I had a severe cavity and required a specialist for the type of root canal work I would needed to proceed with, but that didn't stop him from doing everything he could to make sure I was comfortable. He gave me a full consultation, took his time to talk and get to know me and my dental history, and quickly identified some other issues I had with my teeth. He clearly is very skilled and experienced. He did some work on my teeth to make sure I could chew and not further break and was gentle and efficient while doing so. I don't have the best dental hygiene and was self-conscious, but he consoled me and treated me with such care and respect. He referred to me to a specialist (who was amazing) and sent me on my way with antibiotics to not further compound the issue.
My positive experience with him was far from over. I had given him inaccurate insurance information, which in the past has just resulted in bills that come months later. Not such with Dejean. He called and texted and very patiently worked with me to get things correct, but all the while the most important thing to him was that I got the antibiotics and rest. Its clear he cares about his patients and not just money. He worked with me even further to call my insurance as well as the specialist and see that I got the work I needed.
My dental issues are far from over, but I look forward to going back for more of his excellent care! read more
