Dr. H and Michelle were excellent with my 13 year old daughter and her first filling. He was very gentle and attentive to her feelings. Explained everything that was going to happen and continued throughout the procedure. Michelle made sure she was comfortable and talked to her the whole time. My daughter left happy and said it was a piece of cake!
