Dr. Choi was Amazing with my Daughter. Great Staff as well!! Brittney and a Couple others were so Kind and Comforting! Dr Choi did a couple tooth extractions and a week later fixed some dry socket. He was Patient and Effective. Very Pleased and will continue to only go to Thomaston for the future!
Terrific! Everyone was kind, patient and very helpful.
My dentist before moving to Maine was amazing, but I can hardly make the six hour drive back for a cleaning at a practice my insurance doesn't cover, so I knew I had to switch. I've had some pretty significant oral surgery in the past, and compounded with a bunch of other medical issues and medication dry mouth, going to the dentist has often been a trial.
Not only was I booked same day (unlike weeks, at best, with other dentists in the area), they made sure I had plenty of time to answer the new patient questionnaire before I was brought back. Once back, I had xrays done on one of the scanners that spins around you, which was very neat, followed by normal bitewings. The whole time, I was chatted with so I couldn't get caught up in my head about being at *the dentist*. Everything they did was explained to me and was shown on their monitor or on the monitor set up beside the exam chair. Dr. Choi was quick but very thorough. He went through my medical records before we got started to make sure everything was in order, and he explained as he was doing the exam how different conditions or medications I'm on might impact my oral health. The check-out process was not only smooth, but all my questions and concerns about if everything would actually be covered were answered with detailed knowledge about my dental insurance.
I was a little wary given the mixed reviews about Aspen Dental, but I have no regrets about my choice!
