I've been going to Dr. Star since I got home from college. When I was considering dental school, he was kind enough to let me shadow for a week, and since I've been home, I only go to see him, even to the point of seeking his care when he's out of my insurance network.
The office moved between five and ten years ago, and the new space is luxurious with a cozy reception area (with tea and coffee) and modern faux wood flooring as well as windows which look out behind the office building. Jodi greets me at the door with a smile and helps get stuff in order. Once you're in the hot seat, Megan greets me with another big smile and discusses my oral health. She's friendly and puts me at ease, and all through the cleaning we talk about life and ways to keep my teeth and gums healthy.
Megan alone is thorough and especially cautious regarding concerning findings when she cleans my teeth, and she relays concerns to Dr. Star. He takes a peek and weighs in afterwards, usually joking that I need to eat more Butterfingers and drink more Mountain Dew. When I do need work, I don't feel like I'm pressured too much, and I get an honest assessment.
As a healthcare worker who does some dental pain relief in the ER, and as someone who has been to a few dentists before landing in Star's office, I've noticed a worrisome trend of some larger group dental clinics recommending dental "overhauls" which are often costly and unnecessary. Dr. Star will do what's right for you and you health. read more
