A little back story to put this in perspective: 1. I have a great deal of apprehension when it comes to dentists. 2. I hadn't been to a dentist in over 10 years 3. I am a cancer patient 4. I had to have certain dental work to begin a new cancer medication 5. I had been advised by another dentist will in the hospital to have several teeth removed 6. There were time constraints involved
My interaction with Dr. Kvitko's office/staff began approximately 2/14/2012 or so, after receiving a referral from an outside source. I explained my situation to Kellie, the young lady that answered the phone. She was very considerate and attentive, allowing me to explain my situation without interruption. She advised that there were no immediate appointments available but she would contact me as soon as one came open, Let me say that I was less than optimistic that I would her from Kellie in time. I had even begun looking for another dentist. Lo, to my surprise, I received a call from Kellie on the 16th of February asking mind you, not telling, me if I was available for an appointment on 2/21/2012. Needless to say, I took it. I arrived on the 21st 15 to 20 mins ahead of my scheduled appointment time. I was instructed to fill out paper work, which I did. I waited no more than 15 minutes after completing the paperwork to be escorted into a treatment room. I was prepared for xrays which were taken. The xray process took 20, 25 minutes. At all points in the process, I was told what was being done. After the xrays were processed, I waited maybe 10 minutes at which point I was joined by Dr. Kvitko & Alecia, his assistant. Remeber, I had been advised to have SEVERAL teeth removed. I spent 45 minutes just in consultation with Dr. Kvitko to discuss my options. I told him about the other dentist's plan. Dr. Kvitko told that there is no reason that I had to have that done. He suggested extraction of a wisdom tooth, a broken tooth and a misshapen tooth, all towards the rear of my mouth. This could be done as long as would brush & floss better and have semi-annual dental check-ups. I had no problem. I told him about my apprehension about dentists and pain. He reassured me. Long story short, Dr. Kvitko performed the work, Yes, there was pain, but he managed it extremely well so that it was tolerable. Never once did he leave my side. Never once did he fail to explain anything to me. Never once did he try to advance any type of agenda. Dr. Kvitko was and is a professional. He was kind, patient and most of all considerate. Not just Dr. Kvitko, but his entire staff. I wish I could remember everyone's name and I apologize to those I fail to mention, but thank you Dr. Kvitko, Kellie, Alecia, Tony, Carrie and EVERYONE there. Again, thank you all and anyone and everyone in need of dental care or looking for a dentist should not hesitate to go to Dr. Kvitko.
