The dental hygienist was very competent and caring and took me back promptly. She had information from Dr Hemler but I did not see him on this visit. The hygienist did have a question and had to ask a NP about a problem she had found. Very processional.

Dr. Handler is outstanding and Christine is fabulous. I would recommend them to everyone I know. It is unfortunate his practice is limited when you have such outstanding professional that not only would benefit patients but the clinic reputation and profitability.

The only issue I had was the surgeon had suggested one treatment timeframe and the NP suggested a longer time.
