Really kind and sensitive to my needs. Most painless root canal I've had. He tested first to confirm dying root canal, administered the injections super slowly (thank you!), and fixed some unexpected decay. Very tuned in and present, so excellent "bedside manner." He also worked quietly, which was nice, because I felt his full attention was on the task at hand. I actually feel asleep and he'd have to remind me to open further. That's a testament to his skill, and my comfort (and partly my shortness of sleep the night before).

The doctor's assistant, did a fantastic job explaining to me what the procedure for a root-canal would entail and what concerns for options might be available if plan A does not work. She was very nice and fun to talk with. She explained a little about the Dr. who would be doing the procedure. Dr. Abusteit, was terrific. I cannot say enough about his demeanor. He was warm, caring and professional. He made it clear what I had to do to follow-up after my visit with him. He went above the call of duty and telephoned me the following day to ask how I was doing! No, doctor, I have ever worked with in the past, has called me to see how I was progressing. This was amazing to me and very much unexpected. This call made me feel much more comfortable with Dr. Abusteit than I was before and during the procedure. The whole experience with TDS was marvelous. I would not hesitate to set up another appointment with him for whatever might occur in the future. Both he and the dental assistant are wonderful people and you should be proud to have them on your staff. Thank you.
