I was referred to Dr Pla for an emergency root canal procedure, after developing a serious infection. From the moment I stepped into her practice, I was treated proffessionally and courteously by her staff. After an initial examination, and several inquiries as to my pain/comfort level, I was apprised me of the steps necessary to treat my root canal, the costs I could expect and what my Dental Insurance would cover etc. Dr Pla saw me and recommended/started treatment immediately. She exhibited a calm and competent demeanor as she treated me. Dr Pla was constantly mindful of my comfort and the level of pain I may be experiencing so that she could minimize it. To say I was impressed with Dr Pla and her staff would be an understatement. I rarely encounter proffessionals in any field, that possess the balance of technical competency, social grace and genuine compassion that Dr Pla embodies. I highly recommend Dr Pla, regardless of distance! Ken
