Seconding River Run - I have serious anxiety around dental work and they’ve been great. They explain everything before they do it and have the option of using nitrous for each visit (at an extra cost).

The ala carte nitrous is seriously a godsend. I'll gladly pay out the cost of it means not having panic attacks before, during, and after every appointment.

There is seriously no shame in stating: "I don't want to be here, if you want me here, I expect to be high-as-balls, so... do your thing". Any dentist that doesn't get that doesn't have a proper level of empathy.

Do you have a specific location or provider for RR you recommend?

I see Dr. Sinclair also at the Schrader Ln location. The Midlo location is closer to me but they don’t seem to be operating out of it as much.

I see Dr. Adler at the Schrader Ln location and love her. I will say that they can be a little pushy at the practice about getting additional services (esp. Invisaline), but they've never talked down to me or judged me for saying no.

It figures River Run doesn’t have a location near me. Oh well. I guess I can deal. When I was a boy our dentist was Dr. Steiner. Based on his technique, my sister and I said his full name was Frank N. Steiner.

Ugh, I feel you. A horrible dentist from my childhood is the reason I now have such a phobia.
