Client Testimonials

“David offers the rare combination of knowledge, skill, and presence when working with his clients. He created a safe space for me to share and explore my experiences, listening thoroughly and helping me move through my complex dental history. His support and guidance allowed me to focus on my body’s experience of numerous procedural traumas, transforming pain and discomfort into a sense of freedom and release after years of suffering. Go see David! You won’t be disappointed!”

“David is my dream dentist. His mere presence calms me, his patience, kindness, and light-hearted caring begin to dissolve my anxieties from the moment he walks in the room (usually while whistling or even fiddling an old-time tune). So many dentists and doctors seem hurried and put off by my questions and concerns. Not David. He listens beautifully, responds thoughtfully and thoroughly, and goes out of his way to make sure that I feel safe, heard, and as comfortable as possible from the beginning to the end of each visit. I wish more medical professionals had even a fraction of David’s emotional intelligence and capacity to hold space with empathy and compassion. He ought to be listed in the Yellow Pages under ‘Healing Artists,’ not just ‘Dentists.’”

“I had the same dentist for about ten years and procrastinated finding a new one because I felt daunted by the prospect of finding someone I trusted and felt comfortable working with. Finding Dr. David was the best! I trusted him to listen, to give me good advice about my care, to be honest with me, and to do excellent work. This practitioner comes from a family of dentists and is excellent at what he does....so he has extra space to make you laugh. So thankful to find a dentist who is a good person AND is an excellent heart centered doctor.”

“I had a lot of anxiety about going to the dentist and a lot of anxiety about the fact that I was not going. My anxiety wasn’t rational and I didn’t know why I felt so much of it, but it was persistent. Nothing I could think or tell myself changed the fact that I didn’t feel safe.
Seeing David really helped change that! He was warm, kind, and clear. We talked about everything before it happened. He waited to make sure I was ready, and feeling safe, before proceeding with anything.
I already knew that weighed blankets were comforting to me and David happily let me have two lead blankets to help me feel settled. He was clear that my safety (and feeling of safety) was a priority. He was clear that I was in control of what happened, and when and how it happened.
After having such a positive experience with David my anxiety dropped significantly. I’ve seen him a few times now, and after the first two appointments I didn’t even feel nervous.
Even though other dentists have been safe this was the first time a dentist helped me feel safe.

I’d highly recommend him to anyone!”

“David was very relaxed, friendly, meticulous, and professional. It was the shortest and most pleasant visit to a dentist I have ever had!”
