I had such a positive experience here. Dr. Dhawan treated me. Even though my case was a little complicated, he was able to save my tooth. My treatment was not that long and was painless. I have a bad gag reflex, but doc and his assistant (special shoutout) were very accommodating and no point did I feel uncomfortable.
