John Rooney, DDS

Went to Dr Rooney after a bad dental experience and I did not feel that this dentist valued me as a patient and customer. I did not want to have to change dentists but found I could no longer go to my old one. I am so happy I changed to Dr Rooney, great staff, great dentist!

Until Dr. Rooney, I have had severe dental anxiety. I only go to the dentist when it’s dire, and I spend days getting worked up with fear. I have been seeing Dr. Rooney for more than a year now and while there’s always that fear-​devil whispering in my ear in the background, I do not have the somatic or psychological reactions to going to the dentist as I have in the past. The Dr. and all his staff are so kind and patient, they take their time explaining to me what’s going on and answering questions. They seem to genuinely care.
Because of my dental anxiety and upbringing of not going to the dentist, I have terrible teeth. Dentists in the past have made me feel ashamed of myself. That shame paired with the ordeal of root canals, etc. is likely the genesis of my anxiety.
Dr. Rooney and his staff are amazing people and skilled providers. I am so grateful for the friend who referred me, and to this wonderful business.

Like most red blooded Americans I had a healthy fear and anxiety about visiting the dentist. I endured pain for over a year, because I’m a nurse and I know how to take care of myself. Not. When it became unendurable, I searched everywhere for ratings of dentists. I did as much research as I could, but couldn’t find very much info on any local dentists. Those with a few ratings could’ve paid for those ratings, so I’m naturally suspicious. What a huge relief to find such an amazing dentist with a wonderful, knowledgable staff!!! I took a small amount of Valium for my first two visits, but didn’t need any for my last two visits. He’s very gentle and calm. I suppose it helps that he’s handsome. I will gladly revisit this dentist before anything hurts again.
