Louise was friendly and informative and always made me feel I had input and choices. She is obviously very skilled and completed long and intricate surgery on me with very little discomfort. The outcome was positive and Louise showed me how to keep my teeth as clean as possible, which has made me feel in control. She has a lovely chair side manner!
