I got dental treatment fairly recently. I qualified for it through the VA fairly recently. The Tulsa clinic is extremely busy. I was having trouble with a bridge, a four-tooth bridge, it just didn't feel comfortable. I felt like it was moving, and I couldn't really explain that to the doctors how it was feeling because it was so unusual to me, I guess. I went in to see them about it, because it was paid for. I kept complaining about it, and the VA doctor down there finally basically, took a piece of dental floss, put it up inside the bridge, and she said, "Part of it's loose, part of it's fixed." I had broken it and we couldn't see it. So she said, "Okay, we're gonna refer you out to a civilian doctor," which, being in Claremore, this is where I got sent.

He did that bridge, which was a four-tooth bridge, and I had another crown below it that he didn't like the looks of it and recommended that it be changed, and the VA went along with that. So he did that four-tooth bridge and a crown, and I'm right now in the middle of getting another three-tooth bridge done by him. I can't complain. I mean, everything – the teeth feel good when he's done. They're comfortable, and that goes a long way.

If I overheard somebody talking about they're never going back to that dentist again, or "I don't like my dentist," I wouldn't have any qualms whatsoever to turn around and strike up a conversation and say, "I just overheard you say ... I can help you with that. Well, I can tell you who can help you with that, and you'll like them from the moment you walk in." People up front, whoever takes you back, makes sure you're comfortable. I walk in here and they get me a drink of water. I haven't even asked for a drink of water yet, but everyone should have water. Okay.

But when I hear people say that fear of the dentist ... my sister's afraid of the dentist, and she's the one who brought me here. I said, "Obviously this was pre-doctor Polly." She said, "Yes." I said, "Well, how does he make you feel now?" She goes, "Well, I like him a lot, just having a little trouble relaxing." I said, "But your husband falls asleep at his office, that's what he told me, he goes to get any work done and he falls asleep." Now I don't fall asleep, but I'm pretty close. You can't not like it here. I'm looking at the trees outside, I'm looking at clouds. They have big picture windows that you look at when you're in there having your work done. How can you not like that? Very comfortable.

I was expecting for my first root canal to like, be horrified. There were several times that Dr. Pahle said, "Can you feel that?" And I would say, "Yeah. I mean, I guess I can feel it, but it's nothing major," and he basically said, "I don't want you to feel it at all."

So, it was his priority to ensure that I was as completely comfortable and relaxed as possible, and it seems like each time I've come in and had something done, I've been like, "That's it?" You know.

So, I've never felt a bit of pain. I've also heard horror stories about root canals afterwards. When the numbness wore off after mine, it was sensitive for 24 hours, but it wasn't painful. There wasn't anything horrifying. So, it kind of changed the whole face of what I thought about dentistry.

Well, my oldest had to have an extraction, and that was the case where she was horrified, though I don't think she could really feel it. She was just scared to death. He obviously said, "Let's not continue. Let's bring her back. Let her get comfortable with the idea."

When she came back, they had blankets on her. They were braiding her hair. They had a drink for her, and it was the kind of deal where after he had extracted the tooth, she was like, "That's it?" You know, so it went incredibly smooth.

They've had cleanings and by the time we leave here, they're trying to stay and become dental assistants and doctors, so obviously a good experience for them.

I like coming to see Dr. Pahle mainly because the VA first referred me up here, and once I got here, they referred me up here for a broken bridge. Once I got my new bridge and treatment, I got to talking to the doctor and the technicians and everybody else in here. I just basically fell in love with these folks. The care is great. The people have been wonderful. I even left the other civilian dentist we were using and brought my wife over here also. We've both just been super pleased with the care and treatment we've received. Can't say anything negative.

Every time I come in, you're greeted warmly by the staff, the folks. The office staff out here have always been warm and friendly. Then I get back into the back and talk to the technicians back there, the young ladies that work on you, and they're fabulous. They're good at what they do, and it shows in basically the treatment I get. It shows how well they care about what they're doing, and it reflects in basically how my teeth feel afterwards. Exceptional group of people, and that makes it easy to come in, and fun.

Oh, Dr. Pahle, he is so kind. He is patient. He is courteous. He is very competent at what he does. He's a gentle soul. I really like Dr. Pahle.

Well, Dr. Pahle is just really good with kids. He really is. Like I said, Paula has assisted both of the times that we had to do extractions with Marcus, and they used the (inaudible), which is always good, happy gas. Dr. Pahle was really good to say, "Now, if you have any discomfort, just lift your finger." And when he was doing the three extractions within the last month or so because Marcus is getting ready to have orthodontics done, Marcus raised his finger once or twice, and Dr. Pahle was really good to say, "Okay." He took the necessary actions, waited two or three minutes and came back, and they continued.

We did that a couple of times, and, as a result, Marcus was very confident that his needs were going to be met. Dr. Pahle's really good at talking to him, talking him through things. Paula is really great at doing that too.
