I've recently seen Steffany and Dr. Zhivago.
First I saw Steffany for a cleaning, it has been at least 4 years since my last cleaning and another 23 before that (I know shame on me)! After telling her I'm normally a nervous person in this setting she instantly made sure I was absolutely comfortable. She was extremely gentle! While cleaning she observed some small issues and informed the doctor.
Dr. Zhivago came into the room and explained what was wrong and what my options were. They scanned my problem teeth and took photos, it was all very high tech! He was willing to take care of me at the cleaning visit, but being a nervous patient felt I had to mentally prepare for the minor issue I had... so I made an appointment with him for the following week. At the end of my visit I received a free quip tooth brush with a complimentary refill!! I got to choose from a few different colors.
At my appointment with Dr. Zhivago he said he could do the procedure without numbing my mouth but I could change my mind at anytime during the procedure. My first instinct was ABSOLUTELY NOT! Then I quickly calmed myself and said if he was that confident then I need to put my trust in him.
Well he did not fail me! I didn't feel a thing! It was so convenient to be able to hop out of the chair and go about my normal business. No numb mouth, no speech impediments, no drooling! Lol
Dr. Zhivago and his assistant Giseld were amazing!
Steffany and Dr. Zhivago were great! They made sure I was comfortable at all times!
They were both helpful with educating me each step of the way. I will definitely be scheduling my cleaning on a regular basis. read more
