We have not found a good one who takes the insurance so go where we have to pay but are more satisfied.
I have been to Dr Fisher with PCP and thought he was very good. He now has a second Dentist who is even better.

On your first visit, you do get a complete recommendation of all the work that needs to be done. In my case, there were a lot of crown recommendations. However, only one was priority 1 (needs attention). The others were priority 2 (will need attention eventually when it breaks), and priority 3 (mostly cosmetic).

I only had the priority 1 crown done, since the tooth was already broken. About 6 months later, a priority 2 tooth broke, and they got me in very quickly for a new crown.

My wife just went on last June. She had a tooth break before her first appointment, and they got her in and took care of it.
