I hated going to the dentist. I hated everything about it--the smell, how much novocaine hurt and…read morehow sore I was after fillings, the small talk with the weird guy who had done my dad's teeth when he was a kid, and how I had to end up paying too much because despite me saying that I didn't want a treatment that my insurance wasn't going to cover they would end up doing something without telling me!
DR. MAR'S OFFICE IS THE COMPLETE OPPOSITE OF EVERY BAD EXPERIENCE I'VE EVER HAD.
I love everyone there--Dr. Mar, Patty, Thao, Trish, and Erica are so fun, sweet, wonderful, amazing, awesome... I don't have enough good adjectives and I'm too lazy to look it up in an online thesaurus right now, but trust me, it's TOTALLY true! Come on, the fact that I KNEW THEIR NAMES and am writing the longest Yelp review in the world shows how much I like them! I have referred friends who have referred friends who have referred friends, I swear between this little Dr. Mar cult we've started we paid for all that new furniture in the adorable new office!
But before you go thinking they overcharged to pay for their beautiful new facility, here's the deal--they don't and still do amazing work--I've never had to dispute an amount to pay because they're on top of things in communicating with insurace, they've been super patient with my difficult teeth (I had to go try and seat the same crown I think 3 or 4 times, and each time they knew it wasn't just right so they just sent it back out to get fixed!) I've never had unresonable discomfort during or after a procedure, never doubted their diagnoses, never dreaded going back. In fact, I look forward to it!
In addition to all of this, they're just really fun people! They remember tons about my friends and I and always ask how everyone's doing. I am so thankful that I found a place that I hope one day I can take my kids to so I can save them the trauma I endured and they can actually love going to the dentist while growing up!
I almost didn't want to write this review because I never want it to get so big that I can't get an appointment, but they're so awesome I don't think they would even let that happen!
So, in short, if you're looking for a dentist, see everyone at Dr. Mar's... and feel free to tell him that crazy girl Mary told you all about how awesome they were on Yelp!
