Readers' Faves: Patients share their favorite dentists

i there, CR Dental Patients:

Have you had a great experience at a CR dental clinic recently? Give your dentist some well-deserved exposure by sharing your experience with us.

NOTE: If your dentist is a "specialist," in the sense of having completed a graduate degree after the DDS degree, please comment on the special page for specialists.

Please abide by these guidelines when commenting:

1. There are one or two clinics that I find particularly questionable. I will probably choose not to publish comments about them, even positive comments. This is a matter of conscience for me.

2. Please be a real patient, not someone in an employment or other financial relationship with a dental clinic. There is a special page on this blog especially for clinics: Kindly post your comment there.

3. If you had a bad experience with one of the dentists I recommend on my blog, you are free to email me about it at the address above. I'd be curious about your issues, as I expect very few problems for my Fave dentists.

But if your bad experience was with a another CR dentist, then I'm not sure what I can do. There are better outlets for your displeasure on the Internet than my humble blog. Let's face it, sites like TripAdvisor employ a lot more lawyers than I do.

4. Finally, I reserve the right not to publish comments that in my opinion are phrased too harshly to fit into the respectful tone that I try to keep in this blog.

Readers might be curious about these things:

What was the name of the clinic? Who was your dentist(s)?
What work did you have done?
How long ago? (At least six months is best)
Any problems since? (If you had a bad experience,
this is probably not be the best place to post it.)
Whatever else you found memorable about the whole experience
How much did you pay, but only if you're comfortable discussing it
Did you stay somewhere particularly great?

In addition to the basic points above, you might want to address some of my pet questions.

Did the dentist allow sufficient time to get things done, or did he rush or take shortcuts?
How good is the quality of the lab work?
Has another dentist commented on your work?
Did you have any problems (quite common in complicated procedures),
and if so, how did the dentist handle them?

When I check out references on the phone, I also want to gauge their credibility. Are they biased one way or the other? How observant and knowledgeable are they?

Thanks.

ould-be CR Dental Patients:

I've done very little screening on the following posts by readers. I think that is your job.

Enjoy!
