For those of us among the medical (and dental) science community, it can become easy to dismiss the trepidation that many folks feel about visiting the dentist or the doctor. We know the value of our service, and, when compared to the tricks the mind can play on patients, it seems clearly misinformed to avoid visits due to such thoughts. But, many can come to dread a visit to any place that may include getting needles.

Of course, bedside manner and any of the other psychologically soothing tricks we learn are of paramount importance in addressing such fears. When you’ve been in the business for decades, like Dr. Katz has, you’ve had considerable time to give thought to ameliorating the experience of visits to your office.
