I have gone to Dr. Johansen for over a year now.  It wasn't until last week that I spent any real time in his chair.  I needed a couple of crowns and had to replace a 40 year old filling.  I went to a couple of other dentists in the area.  Dr. Johansen's office is head and shoulder above the others.    \n\nThe doctor's work was done quickly with minimum of pain.  The office is very well run.  The dental hygienists, and assistants are very competent.   Scheduling is easy and efficient.  A real person calls to confirm the appointment a day prior.  I really dislike when a machine calls.  \n\nA little about the office.   It is meticulously clean as a dentist office should be.  The equipment is seems to be first rate, clean and sanitary.  Everyone in the office is pleasant and efficient.  They understand how to work with insurance companies too.  \n\nTo my mind the perfect dentist would be one that could filter out that high pitched whine of the dental drill.
