Dr. Linden and her assistant Michelle were very thoughtful and thorough in examining me as a new patient. I arrived for my initial appointment with multiple issues that needed addressing and was dreading the assessment. I was treated like a human being with a few problems (especially crowns that came out) that were being viewed as a blank slate to come up with a plan to make me smile. I never felt self-conscious, and I left feeling optimistic about myself and that Dr. Linden’s approach and demeanor will have me chewing confidently soon.
