Dr. Moradi saved my mouth. So, I had a cavity fixed when I was 13 and FREAKED out. The doctor used local ansthesia, but I swear I felt EVERYTHING. I couldn't get out of bed for two days Everyone thought that I was crazy and overreacting, and I started to beleive it. I decided I would never go to the dentist again.\r

...until my primary care doc absolutely insisted. She sat me down and let me know the general health risks associated with not going to the dentist. She referred me to Dr. Moradi and BOY did I need a lot of work done.\r

Him and his assistant sat with me in order to keep my panic attack from pushing me out of the door. Dr Moradi was great at explaining to me exactly what was going on with my teeth (stage 1 gum disease, many cavities, you name it, I had it). He let me know that he was going to do several procedures. \r

Dr. Moradi made me feel better about my perception of pain. He said some people just have really sensitive teeth and gums and some people have lower pain threshols. We discussed options and I decided to have Conscious Sedation during my procedures. Essentially I was asleep for the procedures. I didn't feel a thing and was able to get through all of the work. Thanks, Dr. Moradi!! :-)\r
