Great dentist. Rude front office staff and terrible appointment availability.

His son, dentist Erik Fox, is equally awesome. They each know that I have a strong gag reflex and they go out of their way to accommodate my special need, giving me all the time I need with not a wisp of complaint or frustration. Dr. Lawrence Fox is not afraid to turn up the nitrous when indicated, which is nice. I don't know about Erik. The hygienists are universally friendly. They schedule a full hour per patient -- very thorough work. One caveat, though. Dr. Erik's biller does not in my view keep good records -- watch out for over-charges and failure to issue appropriate refunds.

Had two crowns done -- one new one and one replacement. Totally pain free! Dr. Fox is very kind and caring.
