I started seeing Dr. Zatz around 1990 when he was working with another dentist near my home. I was nervous because of my concerns about dental pain, and said so. Dr. Zatz reviewed my questionnaire, and asked, ""So if there's no pain, there's no problem?""\r
\r
Even though I needed a substantial amount of work (I'd been avoiding the dentist), Dr. Zatz eliminated my fear and trepidation of dental visits. He took care of all of my dental issues and advised me about proper self-care. I was so impressed that when he relocated to South Windsor, there was never any question of looking for a new practice, I just made the trek out there. He treated me for a number of years and quite frankly, I began to take his excellent patient care and his pleasant, cheerful good humor for granted.\r

When I took a transfer on my job and decided the 120 mile round trip to his office was just too much, I left and found a dentist closer to home. I was shocked when the dentist acted more like a car salesman than a healthcare professional, trying to sell me thousands of dollars of unnecessary dental work.\r
\r
I bounced back and forth between a number of other dentists, who never spent enough time with me and invariably left me with other, less-skilled staff for most procedures. Problems began to develop because minor issues were overlooked at checkups by overworked staff, and I realized that the only way to get the treatment I wanted was to go back to Dr. Zatz.\r
\r
Needless to say, I learned the hard way how important it is to find a conscientious, technically proficient and patient-friendly dental practice. I'm very pleased with Dr. Zatz and I'm staying there. And the three-hour round trip? Well, some people travel that far to get their hair done, and my dental health is more important. If you are in need of a new dentist, visit Dr. Zatz. You won't be disappointed.
