I grew up never going to the dentist unless it was an emergency, Socioeconomic for the main reason, and then just grew used to never going once I was older and had insurance. A buddy of mine recommended Modern Dental to me over 10 years ago. I started going and inquired about braces. Dr. Roskelley consulted with me. He laid out a plan and estimated 12 to 14 months. My experience was the best I ever had with any dentist. We consulted and changed the game plan throughout the process. Dr. Roskelley was able to help me achieve my dream smile in 13 months. Ending with an improved overall oral health was not the end. He restored my smile, improved my self-confidence, and my quality of life. The story doesn't end there. Now that I had a reason to maintain the investment, and the fact I had dental insurance, I started to make routine dental visits. Through the years my life has changed, I left my nice job in the tech industry and went back to school. No longer could I afford insurance, but Dr. Roskelley and his staff worked with me. We took a more conservative route during my 4 years going back to college. We took less X-rays, did more observation of my oral health and made a plan to fix a few cavities only when it was needed. However, emergencies still came up. I even remember one time he filled a cavity and didn't charge me. What a man of faith and compassion. I never dreamed of such care and personal concern from a dentist. Dr. Roskelley always inquired about school and even wanted to know what I was doing. He shared a personal story with me to help encourage me during this tough financial transition. Once I was done with school and entered my new profession, I continue to go back to Dr. Roskelley, making the long drive from Nampa to Federal Way in Boise through morning traffic just to see the best dentist and the best staff. I have even convinced my wife to do the same thing. Even as I try to be the perfect patient for a dentist, my oral bacteria fights back even harder. Dr. Roskelley broke the news to me as best as he could that I may need to consider routine visits every 3 months. Being part of the medical field, I knew he was not just feeding me a line of bull to get more money out of me. I know this from my own knowledge and education. Heck, I can even go over my own X-rays with Dr. Roskelley and aid in my care (Failed to mention I went back to be an X-ray tech with a specialization in CT). So I know what I need, and there is no other Dentist or office I would rather go visit. Thank you from the bottom of my heart in aiding me in more than just dental care. Because of you, I had the confidence to meet my lovely wife. You have changed my life in more ways than I could express. Thank you for being a beacon of hope and inspiration. You sir are more than a dentist, you are a changer of life. Please thank your staff for me. Go home tonight, as we both go home from our long challenging jobs in health care, and know sir, that you do make a difference. read more
