I have a very good dentist right now, probably among the best I ever had. He is so very caring of patients and his staff. He is close to retirement, though, I think.

He is so good that even discovered I had some sinus problems in 2002, something a dentist I saw before didn't catch when I complained about pain in my mouth.

I only wish I had dental insurance to cover a gold crown job, but he understands that I cannot have it done now. I feel pretty bad that I can't, because I like him a lot.

Most of the dentists on the local HMO plan appeared to be of the Asian kind.
