Dr. Francis has always been fantastic in every way: professionally, personally, technologically and compassionately. Apparently he is retired and essentially gone. The new dentist, still using the old website, seems no where the same.

I've been seeing Dr Valent for years. My family has gone to see her for even longer. She's very caring, funny, super gentle and understanding. No judgement from her at all! She makes going to the dentist very easy! When I had my root canal years ago she made it very tolerable. I recently saw Dr. Francis and he was great as well. Had to have a filling done, Dr. Francis was very kind and upbeat, and also brought that same "easy going" environment. I live in Aurora now but will gladly make the drive to see Dr Valent and Dr Francis.

I'm not a fan of the dentist. I needed a crown on one of my mollars. I went in not realizing how much local anesthesia I was going to need. Dr. Francis made sure I was "numb" enough before he could begin the procedure. After at least 5 tries at the numbing shot in my gums, I was ready to give up and asked him you continue regardless of the pain. He would not, he said there was no way he would torture me that way. I'm so glad he did not listen to me and made my visit a pleasant one! They even provided a blanket for me since my nerves were making me cold! What a Great experience!
