After a little more than 20 years in seeing a dentist, I came to Dr. Andreaus with a number of dental problems, embarrassing cavities on my front teeth, a very crooked smile, horrible pain from some teeth that needed root canals, and a tremendous amount of anxiety. Looking back, the anxiety was so high that I would have just continued suffering and hiding my smile except for the pain I was dealing with. I had some bad experiences with dentists as a child.
His staff was very friendly and accommodating and Dr. Andreaus himself was amazing. He took his time to explain everything to me, he answered a ton of questions I had, we went over a ton of options, and put together a treatment plan that would focus on the immediate pain, and then deal with the other problems one stage at a time as I was comfortable. He completely set me at ease. He was never judgmental or preachy about my lack of dental treatment in the past, and he was very friendly and easy going.
I've been his patient for several years now (I had a lot of problems) and I can say with full confidence that he is an amazing professional and he really cares about his patients. I'm not just another number or random patient to him.
I still have a lot of anxiety about getting any dental work done, but those are long seated fears that have just taken some time to get over. Having said that though, I totally attribute it all to Dr. Andreaus. I've thanked him a number of times, but I don't think I've really articulated how much he has meant to me and how much I appreciate him. I'm proud of the work he has done for me and I've relearned how to smile and laugh without trying to force a grin and keeping my lips over my teeth.
I still have more work to go, but I wouldn't trust my teeth and my smile to anyone else on the planet.
If you are like me and need a dentist that cares and has fantastic skills (really, he is amazing) then you have GOT to see him. You will be in great hands. Also, when he gives you options for treatment he will also give you some recommendations. I suggest trusting him and going with his recommendation. Don't be afraid to ask questions either.
PS His office has great artwork and is really easy to get to on Glenwood (Five Points). read more
