Ok, so I don't go to the dentist nearly as often as I should. In fact, Dr. Hartmann asks my parents about me, because it's been awhile. But I moved 25 miles away, so I blame the distance.
I had some very very bad experiences with other dentists as a kid. So when we found Dr. Hartmann, I was happily relieved. My parents eventually switched over to him, too, about 10yrs ago when they realized how bad their previous dentist was (couldn't listen to me, had to find out for themselves...)
He's nice and understanding, especially if you're a fearful patient, or have issues like a small mouth and strong gag reflex. And he doesn't yell if you have an unexpected allergic reaction to the novacaine and get sick all over the room.
And he's got a treasure box with stickers and little toys for the kids after their appt's. I was very sad when I got to be too old for a prize. read more
