      "I felt relaxed and not nervous as I usually feel in a dental office. Watched a movie, felt no pain. Dr.Himmel is an expert dentist, works fast and explains each procedure in detail. He has the latest equipment. His staff is helpful and friendly. How can I say that I actually (almost) enjoyed a dental visit.

I forgot what was going on (and that's cool with me) as I was so busy trying to hold up my end of the conversation : ) The staff is wonderful, pleasant, humorous, professional, technology-savvy and compassionate. They will explain their dental care recommendations, suggest a schedule and will, within every reasonable possibility, work with you to find a payment timetable and budget that works for you."

      "my last visit was with Dr. Himel. He took the time to listen to my issues with my teeth/jaw and really asked questions to get the whole story. After the exam he told me in detail what he found and even had a visual demonstration device that he used to really show me what was going on with my jaw. I was very happy with my visit and would/have referred people to their office."
