Farinelli Catharine J DDS

The best experience I've ever had at the dentist. Has been quick and painless both times, and had not tried to BS me into having more work done than I needed. After trying a different dentist after a recommendation, they tried to tell me I had 5 cavities, one of which was large and would involve drilling half of my tooth, pins, and a possible crown in the future, then 2 medium and 2 small cavities. (and they said the large one wouldnt be covered by my insurance) All of this was after a very painful cleaning, and they wanted to schedule a 2nd cleaning 2 weeks later. I decided to go back to Terri and get a second opinion..(not mentioning what the other place had told me).. After taking ex-rays, she said I had 2 small cavities in the 2 teeth right next to each other and was "surprised I even felt them, most people don't feel them until they are much larger"...She gave me novacaine which I didn't even feel, and drilled for about 3 minutes and they were done. It was quick and painless, and it was covered by my insurance. I asked if there were any other cavities and she said no, and to come back for a cleaning in 6 months. I will always recommend her.

Doc is patient, calm, listens, and is \"tooth conservative\". He doesn\'t do work, if it doesn\'t need to be done. I trust him to always act in my best interest. He\'s been my dentist for almost 20 years. I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone.
