Dr. Mechev is the best in his field because he has mastered his profession and performs it with meticulous care. Furthermore, throughout today's visit he asked, ""Are you O.K.;"" ""Are you a little sensitive to that...."" In short, he made me feel like he cared about me as an individual patient.
It wasn't that I felt pain. It was that I was afraid of what he was thinking about the condition of my teeth, since the last time I was in a dentist's office had to be over a decade ago. I was thinking, man have I blown this one, that is, such a simple thing like taking care of myself by going to the dentist at least once every 6 months like I know should have.
While I was beating myself up mentally, Dr. Mechev was hard at work. He gave me an exam and then took x-rays. He explained to me what he was seeing as he displayed my x-rays on a flat screen monitor. Then he took photos and displayed them next. When I saw the inner surface of my teeth and how brown they were on that side, I was shocked. I was like, I would have come in sooner if I had seen this in my mirror at home. I say this because I eat well balanced meals consistently; exercise almost daily; sleep at least 8 hours each night; and see my primary care medical doctor regularly for check-ups. I don't play around when it comes to my health. Yet, when it came to my teeth..., well let's say today has begun a new chapter in really taking good care of myself.
Next, Dr. Mechev got to work cleaning and polishing my teeth and then he explained to me what the next steps would be for follow-up visits to deal with my chipped teeth and a cavity. When I looked at my teeth when he was done today, I was amazed. All that brown stuff was gone and my teeth were looking sweet again. I couldn't wait to start showing them off.
And when Dr. Mechev finishes the other procedures, I know I'm gonna be in tears because I have found a doc-tor who knows what he's doing and is the best at what he does. Plus he is very aware of how sensitive I am as a person. I left his office today a much happier person.
Not only did Dr. Mechev solve some of my problems with my teeth today and made a solid plan to solve the others in future visits, but also, he inspired me by the way he calmly took care of me. Now, I feel like I really have a chance with his help to have no problems with my teeth. I'm sincerely excited about my next office visit with Dr. Mechev. That may sound weird. But when you meet him, within minutes, if you're a good judge of character, you'll know he's a methodical problem solver and an inspiration. I
