I recently had my semiannual cleaning and check-up with Dr. Drake at Williams and Drake Dentistry. Unlike the lady with the toothache who went on and on about excessive x-rays, I actually felt comforted by the fact that they took that many. It was explained to me that these x-rays take more detailed pictures of two teeth at a time in order to clearly see any problems that may have been hidden from normal x-rays. As far as radiation exposure, that is ridiculous. You probably get more radiation exposure from riding on an airplane or using an outdated microwave. That should be the least of her worries. Anyways, I really enjoy the fact that Dr. Drake takes the time to pinpoint any problems and identify areas that may cause future concerns. I much prefer someone who spends time caring for their patients rather than shuffling them in and out the door like the majority of doctors seem to do these days. In addition, not only was Dr. Drake and his staff very friendly, but they educated me on what they were doing, why it needed to be done, and what I could do to prevent future problems from occuring. The office was the most stylish dental office I have ever been in as well. I walked in not knowing what to expect and left very impressed by the atmosphere, friendliness, and a little education in dentistry 101. I absolutely loved the experience and am making Dr. Drake my dentist of choice. I highly recommend this practice.
Pros: Atmosphere, friendliness, and televisions in the examination rooms.
