I have had my share of true dental horrors over the years and I can fully understand why so many individuals suffer from dentophobia. However, in my experience, Dr. Kurtis is the best dentist on this planet. He does not have an incompetent dental hygienist scrape your mouth to pieces and hose you down with water so that you emerge like a drowned rat, but meticulously does the cleaning and scaling himself. For each six month checkup he performs a complete cancer scan. His skill is exemplary in every sense of the word. For 60+ years I had been flossing and brushing my teeth incorrectly and never knew it. It has cost me a fortune over the years for fillings, root canals, crowns, implants, etc. Dr. Kurtis charges a minimum fee for a thorough lesson on dental hygiene. I had to have full restoration done on my upper front teeth and was wary of spending five hours in a dentist chair. I always dreaded the torture of something as simple as having a local anesthetic, which always resulted in a completely numb face and nose as if I had just suffered damage from a stroke, but under Dr. Kurtis' expert care, I felt absolutely nothing. I was so relaxed I even fell asleep for most of the lengthy appointment and was provided with a warm fleece blanket. The experience was like being at an expensive spa resort in Hawaii. Dr. Kurtis works with state of the art equipment and explains every aspect of any procedure carefully and thoroughly. He truly cares about his patients rather than screaming at them for being "uncooperative" while you writhe in pain having a 'dentist' drill right into your nerve while fracturing your tooth apart. I walked out of my appointment smiling with my temporary veneers and I cannot wait to go back to have the permanent ones installed. Whatever galaxy you are located in and no matter how many light years it takes you to reach his office, you'll be very glad that you came across Dr. Kurtis who is an artist par excellence. His office manager Lisa is a paragon of efficiency and greets clients most amicably, creating a very personable and welcoming enivronment. read more
