Dentist and optometrist reqs?

[freetobeme18.livejournal.com]

I was wondering if anyone could recommend a good dental and/or optometry practice near Davis or Porter? I know Gentle Dental is in the Porter Square Shopping Center, but does anyone have any experience with them? I have Metlife insurance for dental and Blue Cross for vision and will need to see somebody who is covered. In terms of what I'm looking for, well I have a really low pain tolerance and am easily squicked by visits to the dentist, so want someone who is gentle with a soothing personality who will warn me before they're about to stick something in my mouth (especially something that might hurt). As far as eye care, well I recently broke my glasses and am in need of new frames. I look for fun and funky frames in vibrant colors when possible, so a place that has a good selection of frames like this would be good. Thanks!

Ihave major dental fears. I've gone for years until I'm in major pain before going to the dentist. Not any more! Sarah Perkins at Porter Square Family Dental is so patient. And kind. And aware of pain sensitivity. I no longer tremble and cry when I go to the dentist. As Sarah put it, she's doing "bunny slope" dentistry with me. Seriously, give her a try.

I'd second the recommendation for Porter Square Family Dental - an excessive amount of time between dental work left me needing plenty of work, and they've been prompt at arranging appointments. I don't get worried about dental visits, but they've always been happy to answer any questions I have and explain exactly what's going to be done in advance and at every point during the procedure.
