My first experience with DR. Hale was for what turned out to be an unexpected root canal during a hastily scheduled appointment during my lunch time from work. Post appointment I was able to return to work and finish my day with no problem or discomfort whatsoever. That was 13 years ago and it has been a happy relationship ever since. DR. Hale is a master at his profession, skilled and up to date , very thorough and very gentle. He shows respect for his patients, yet he is fun and makes the dental appointment no more anxiety-riddled than a lunch date. The staff are great and the office is immaculate. He's a keeper !!!!! -Sharon S.
