As a child I had horrible experiences in hospitals, and as a result, have been terrified of many things connected with doctors ever since. I was at the point of not seeing anyone in the medical profession at all until circumstances forced me to seek help which led to surgery three years ago.
This did nothing to relieve my fears, however; so, when I learned that I had to seek help from a periodontist my terror knew no bounds.
It was, therefore, one of the most wonderful experiences I have had to walk in to Dr. Rashti's office, and be received warmly and with understanding.
From the moment I began filling out the questionaire, I knew I was in good hands. I gave answers to questions no one had ever asked before.
Dr. Rashti is an angel. She took more time than I have ever spent with any dentist to explain just what would happen to me. She also showed an understanding and sensitivity I have never experienced before. She knew that I was totally blind, and spent time before our first meeting to try and figure out the best way to help me, and make me feel at ease. She needn't have worried. The warmth and understanding she showed from the beginning made me know right away that I would trust her.
Her entire staff is just as warm.
If anyone had told me that I would love going to the dentist, I would have said they were crazy, but I look forward to each visit, because I feel that Dr. Rashti is not just giving me the best dental care I could ask for--which she is--but she makes me feel that I have gained a friend as well.
