Having spent a good portion of my childhood in a dentist’s chair, it should come as no surprise that I have a deep seated fear of all dentists. To illustrate this phobia even further, even after my daughter graduated from Harvard Dental School I would rather have a tooth pulled than go to the dentist. Laugh all you want but that’s precisely what was going to happen unless I got the nerve to get a check up so I left it up to my wife to find a dentist. That dentist was Elizabeth Sugg.

Arriving for my appointment with knees knocking, it took all of five minutes for me to realize that Elizabeth was different. Her office was light and airy, and it was just Elizabeth and myself. Was I dreaming? There were no waiting lines. no chastising me for this or that but rather a delightful and skilled medical professional with a personality. In a nutshell, my 58 year phobia of anyone associated with the dental profession was finally gone and I was free at last.

Will I go back? Absolutely, and since she did such a good job with my dental “fear factor” maybe she can help me with some of my other phobias. It’s worth a try!
