Always get superior care at a modest price. I love Dr Samuel, and the rest of the dentists and staff.

Hi Dr. Kaaren, is important for us that you feel very comfortable and understand every step of your treatment. Thank you so much for giving us the opportunity to help you with your dental needs.
Regards;
I love my Dentist
At this point, I may have gone to I Love My Dentist as much as 8 or 9 times. I have lost count. I wouldn't go anywhere else. Dr. Samuel is so kind, gentle, and always takes his time with me. Because I have had so many problems with crowns created by my American dentists, it is taking time to have them all replaced. It is so convenient that he is able to create new crowns with a 3D printer right in the exam room, and then create the crowns on site so I can get the work done in one visit.
I have been back now about four times within the last couple of months. I went in for cleaning by Dr. Samuel, and he told me I needed cleaning by the periodontist. He is the first dentist who took the time to take pictures of my gums so he could show me what was going on. I really don't understand why none of the American dentists took the time to keep me informed. The sad truth is that my gum disease has put my teeth into jeopardy, so went back and had gum surgery at two separate appointments.
Then Dr. Samuel scheduled me to return to have two of the crowns replaced that were causing some of the gum irritation. Unfortunately, I started having pain after the gum surgery because a tooth was getting looser. Dr. Samuel removed the crowns and applied temporaries to allow the affected gum to heal. My next visit will be to get permanent crowns.
Every time I go to the clinic I am treated so well, and the care I get is so gentle, I have been able to get over my phobia of having dental work done. I cannot say enough nice things about the care here.
Dr. Hiyashi, a very nice young dentist who cleaned my teeth, without the need for topical anesthesia did a great job. I explained that I can't have the electronic cleaning, because my teeth are so sensitive, and she was fine with that. And I told her I usually need topical anesthesia on my gums, and she suggested she try to clean first and then if that didn't work she could use the anesthsia. So we went ahead, and it was fine. First time in years I have been able to do that. I was so impressed.
She found some cavities this time, and I went to lunch and came back, and she filled them. Getting the anesthesia was uncomfortable, but the job was accomplished quickly and I am very happy.
My first visit was to check out the clinic, and consult with Dr. Guevera, who expertly answered all my questions and concerns. A week later I returned to have the root canal and was expertly taken care of by Dr. Marcia Bustamente. It was one of the least painful and best encounters I have had in a dentist office for as long as I can remember. Unfortunately I had put off getting my tooth fixed, so it was inflamed and she advised me to wait for a few weeks to let the inflammation die down before putting on the crown. Yeah. So glad I have found a dental office I feel comfortable in.
One of the first places I have been since Covid. Enjoyed their Crispy Potato Taco. Just the right size for a quick lunch.
I was stuck in Denver with Sis because of the pandemic, and City O City came to our rescue with delivery. It was our weekly treat for 2 months, and was always wonderful, no matter what we ordered. I so wish there were a restaurant half as good in my area. Although it was tough being stuck indoors for 2 months, we had our weekly treat to look forward to. Thank you to all of the staff who delivered our meals, and to the kitchen crew who cooked them. We love you.
Had to make another visit to one of my fave haunts for veg food in Denver. Pretty long wait on a Sunday at 1:30 pm so keep that in mind if you choose to go there. We went with a friend, and although we were at the end of the serving time for breakfast, they did make her Eggs Sardou, and she loved them. I got the Tempeh Hash, and it wasn't like any hash I had ever had, as it was different ingredients layered over a mound of friend potatoes, topped with scrambled tofu, and veg green chili. I loved it, but I can see how it would not be for everybody. No longer have the Chilaquiles on the menu I had enjoyed before.
Since the first time we came here, it is now a must for my annual Sept visit to Denver. Had my favorite Chilaquiles with some extra green chili. I love the fact that every place makes it differently. Here is is made with toasted whole corn toritllas, layered with black beans and for me some vegan cheese sauce. It is topped off with a layer of scrambled tofu. Sis got a breakfast burrito, and it was yummy as well. Top that off with a soy latte and a dirty chai. What a great brunch.
Sis is always on the lookout for veg places where I have options, and she brought me here. Yum is all I can say: Chilliquilles with tofu. We got a coffee at the bar in the front room while we waited, and then were seated, and had a great meal. Although Sis is not a vegetarian, she also enjoyed her food. It is great seeing a place like this so full of people. I can hardly wait to go back.
This was my second visit to see Dr. Griffith for my eye exam. So grateful his office is at Target where I shop all the time. It was a snap to walk in a make an appointment for a recheck, since I have been working on the computer a lot, and my eyes were not liking it. I love the electronic scan of the retina, as it makes it so much easier to see the back of the eye, where bad things can be going on and you don't know it. So much nicer than having to have your eyes dilated. Dr. Griffith does an extremely thorough job of examining your eyes, and I was super happy that I had no significant changes from the last exam. From start to finish I was treated well, and will be glad to return for recheck visits.
I had been looking for a specific type of sweatshirt with a front zip closure, and I found it here. The owner was very nice to me and my sister, and gave us a great deal. We had a long chat with him, and he said he was planning on closing the store so he could focus on the other shop he owns.
