TLDR: GO HERE, DO NOT GO TO THE CHEAPER DENTIST, EVEN IF U HAVE TO WAIT, EVEN IF THEY ARE CLOSER. IT DOESNT GET BETTER THAN DR FINE BECAUSE SHES THE BEST!
Do you have anxiety? Like massive anxiety? You'll be better here at Dr. Fines office than ever before. They gave me a blanket, held my hand, and patiently waited until my high tolerance finally took the local. Every time I went they showed me genuine love, care, and patience. I never felt like she was seeing multiple people at once, it felt personal and I found comfort in this. I even got a couple Christmas cards handwritten from Dr Fine herself with personal notes to me.
Long Review-
I went to Dr. Fine for a few years while I lived in LA and she was the BEST dentist ever. She listens to you, explains everything in detail, and keeps a calm atmosphere at the office so that your anxiety goes right away. The first time I went in to see her I had serious mouth pain and hadnt been to a dentist in a VERY long time. I had a lot of work that needed doing, but I have severe anxiety of the dentist and have never wanted to go. When I got there it was easy parking, super nice staff, and the office is super clean. After having my xrays done we realized I needed some serious work (my fault since I havent done my annual appointments for some time now). Dr Fine not only explained EVERYTHING in detail, but she did it in a way that made total and complete sense without freaking me out. Over the next 6 months or so we tackled our list, filling all my cavities, doing a crown, and even a deep cleaning.
After the work was done, everything felt better than ever before. I could finally have ice cream without letting it melt first, and I could chew with confidence.
Then I moved. I went to a different dentist, in a different town, and it was awful. I wanted to find someone who was close to me and could work with my insurance and my budget, but that was a HUGE mistake. The dentist messed up my teeth more than she fixed them and the office was located in a tiny room that was filthy. The dentist precharged me for my work, then took several months to complete basic fillings without telling me it would be several visits. She saw 3-4 people at once and would get mad at me if the local wasnt working. She'd leave me in the room for 30-40 minutes while she worked on other people - a true nightmare.
So here I am, outside the other dentist, teeth hurting, nothing fixed, and months wasted. I just saw another girl around 30 just run out crying and Im terrified to ever go back.
I just called Dr Fine and booked a literal plane ticket just to see her. Im asking for her to look over everything and let me know if anything needs to be redone. I wasted $1000 trying to see the cheaper dentist that was closeby when I shouldve booked a plane ticket to Dr Fine in the first place.
Dont make my mistake, only go to Dr Fine. Its impossible to find a better dentist, because shes the best. read more
