Dr. Cheskis is absolutely amazing! I once had such a fear of going to the Dentist and she turned that right around for me.
I ignored the dentist for about seven years or so, I fractured a tooth and feared the worst but knew that I needed to go back and went to an office a friend was going to. The dentist who accepted me was OK, but I wasn't overly impressed. It was assessed that I needed a LOT of work done. Couple cavities and at least 2-3 Root Canals. I was pretty devastated but, with my neglect, it was understandable. During my second appointment, to fill a cavity, it was Dr. Cheskis that walked in because the other dentist was out. With her positive attitude, cheery greeting, and bright smile it immediately put me right at ease. She was so incredibly gentle and so concerned about my comfort that I was SO impressed. We also discussed all the work I needed and she was so empathetic and really impressed upon me that she genuinely cared. I immediately asked the front office to ensure she was to handle my care from then on out.
It's been six years now that I've been seeing her and she never ceases to impress me. Per my X-rays it looked as if I might need at least 3 Root Canals. Two were done, and while they were lengthy and not the most pleasant, they were painless and I was made as comfortable as possible. Dr. Cheskis even called me later to ask how I was doing, I could NOT believe that. When we got to my last Root Canal Dr. Cheskis, who recently opened up her own practice at that time, opened up the tooth and found that the decay hadn't reach the nerve and a deep filling would suffice. She blocked off three hours of her time, brought in and paid for a dental assistance for that time, and instead of the thousand dollar procedure, plus a $2K crown, I was only charged a fraction of that and was out of there within the hour. I was so impressed with her honesty and integrity.
I absolutely could not imagine going to, or having to find, another dentist. My mouth looks completely different, and other dental professionals were impressed and have commented on her work as well to me. She is incredibly passionate about her profession and her patients and I absolutely try to recommend anyone I can to her. read more
