Dr. Stephen W Spelman, DDS

I had a semi-emergency, I lost a crown. I had received a post card from Dr. Spelman’s office and since I am new in town I called to see if I could get an appointment. To my surprise Emily said she would fit me in right away since it was an emergency if I could get there right away. I did and I cannot begin to tell you how wonderful everyone in the office was to me and how pleasant, yes pleasant, the entire visit was. Emily treated me as if I was someone who had been coming there for years. Karen, who got me ready for the Dr. was equally friendly, explaining everything she was doing each step of the was. Chantaul then took over and she was very professional and extremely competent. She made sure I was as comfortable as possible throughout the whole process. Since there was a lot of waiting in between steps we were able to talk a bit and she was very friendly. I felt like I was part of a family when I left with a temporary crown that was perfect and could have passed for the… real thing. Chantaul did beautiful job making the temporary crown while Dr. Spelman designed the permanent one. One tool he used was this amazing computer that took a sonogram of my mouth as if it was my baby. Really cool! Of course I am not explaining it at all correctly but you probably get the idea. Dr. Spelman gives the best shots I have ever had. I hardly felt them at all. He also explains everything as he goes along, and in English. He is very personable and I felt I even got to know a little about him as a person. It is strange to walk into an office where you know no one and have extensive work done on your mouth as soon as you get there. The whole office made it a pleasurable experience. That does sound strange considering what kind of an experience it was, but they did strive to make sure I was comfortable at all times and that I had no pain. I also had a TV to watch and the chair you are in is extremely comfortable. I guess I got a little wordy here, but my experience at Dr. Spelman’s was a 5/5. There was one negative, Dr. Spelman is extremely quiet when he enters the exam room. It’s like he just appears out of nowhere. For my next visit I am bringing a bell for him to ring as he is coming in. I jump easily and if he rings a bell I will know he is there and won’t jump. But if that is the worst I can find to say, well then he and his crew are the best.
