Dr Shim was amazing! I have developed a fear of dentists and she was understanding and went slow to start. She also explains everything and understands that I my need more answers than others. I have an issue with anxiety in the chair and she is always concerned with my comfort first and I never feel rushed! I have already sent my fiance there and his best friend. Always a good experience!
