There are tremendous advantages gained by utilizing the surgical microscope with the principles of microsurgery. The surgical microscope has a magnification range of two to twenty-six times that of the naked eye. This increase in magnification allows for greater precision and hand control.

Dr. Cross is one of the few periodontists in America who exclusively use a microscope to maximize precision in all procedures.

The office had confirmed my appointment several days before, but when I got to the appointment, after the receptionist telling me it would be a few minutes, I sat for 45 minutes with no one saying anything to me. Luckily I did not have to go back to work. I finally said something to the receptionist and she checked with him and said it would be another one-half hour. I asked the receptionist why no one had advised me. She didn't know. I rescheduled and when I did get my appointment with Dr. Feller, he acted as though he was doing me a BIG favor by coming on a half hour early one day to 'fit me in', although I had to take off work time two times to get in. He apologized for my waiting so long at that last appointment time, but he had 'no way to let me know he was running behind.' Really? No one in the office could get the message to the front desk for me? I told him I didn't appreciate it, but he was in an argumentative mood and tried to justify it by saying he was fitting someone in that had been in the hospital. OK, fine. Just let me know so I don't waste time sitting in your reception area. He said things like this happen all the time in business, and I told him not on my watch. Even though I told him I did not want to discuss it any longer, he kept on arguing with me. I was appalled at his attitude. Young and big-headed. I've left that office. Too bad, because he does good work, but though he was working for me, he didn't care about my time. Take your chances on his availability for you. Also no one from that office has questioned why I left, but they know I transferred ny records - not important, I guess. Does Dr. Santarelli know about Feller's practice and treatment of patients?

I have had only a few very bad dental experiences in my life, but those few experiences can still instill fear into me, even now as an adult! It's a breath of fresh air to be able to come into the office, and actually feel relaxed and comfortable here at Ruggless Dental, despite my past "scares". The staff, literally all of them, are so sweet and amazing- and extremely quick to comfort if you feel uneasy! Not once are you ever confused about finances or billing here, either. The staff are great at expressing those throughout the care options given, which takes away about 50% of the stress, I would say! LONG REVIEW SHORT: I would, and do, 100% recommend Ruggless Dental!
