Dr. Kalman made me a new partial plate and I am extremely happy with them. The procedure was painless and my new teeth look and feel great. From the first time they were placed in my mouth they have been comfortable.

To whom it may concern,

I, (elder) W. Garrett Myler, have recently finished a series of procedures done by Dr. Les Kalman including a root canal, fillings, and a crown on my second to last molar.

After inspection and X-rays, I was informed that a cavity on the tooth in question had damaged the tooth too close to the root, and a root canal was recommended. Before the procedure I was thoroughly informed by Dr. Kalman of the risks and advantages of both doing the procedure and the other options (including not doing the procedure at all), as well as the manner in which the suggested treatment (namely, the root canal) would be performed. After being educated of all of my options and their details, I felt completely comfortable with my decision to undergo the treatment suggested by Dr. Kalman.

I have a very high tolerance for pain, and after telling my friends I was going to have a root canal and listening to their comments and reactions, I anticipated that I would need every ounce of "tough guy manliness" I possessed to endure the procedure. In actuality, the pain I experienced during the root canal could be best described as simply an awkward feeling and at brief times, discomfort. A couple times, unavoidable difficulties arose due to the anatomy of my mouth (for example the awkward size & shape of one of my roots). With appropriate skill and instruments, Dr. Kalman talked me through what he was doing, which was comforting. Also, twice, after certain stages in the root canal, he took X-rays to ensure everything was good…which it was. The following procedures involving crowning the tooth were brief and painless. Immediately after each appointment I was out and about without any "down time".

I am here in Ontario temporarily, from southern California, and am seriously contemplating coming back up to Dr. Kalman for additional (unrelated) dental work due to the positive experience I have had with him. Dr. Kalman has gained my trust and without reservation I fully recommend Dr. Les Kalman for all who are in need of dental care in which he offers his service.

Sincerely,
(Elder) W Garrett Myler

My recent positive experience with the work you did in the placement of a crown to replace a fractured front tooth lead me to write this letter of gratitude.

Throughout the course of the treatment plan I was continuously impressed by the quality of service and attention to detail. You ensured that I received the best service possible with the application of leading edge dental treatment and the effective use of the latest advantages in dental technology. Staying current in this industry is a must as most of the advances seem to focus on a better experience overall for the patient.

But I was most impressed with your ability to blend this leading edge technology with old fashioned patient care. Through the use of digital technology and knowledgeable staff, I was fully informed and educated an each step in the process. The use of pictures and displays help me understand what was being done and why. I felt very much part of the solution itself and of course, very pleased with the outcome.

You and your staff exemplify the new generation of dentistry. You are to be congratulated. The enthusiasm, positive attitude, professionalism and focus on individual care are a refreshing change. Too often today, dentist seem more interested in pushing patients through a production line process where individualism is sacrificed in the interest of speed. I never felt a sense of being rushed.

I would like to compliment you on having the courage to make "change" a positive experience. You new office reflects your commitment to your patients.

On behalf of my spouse, family, and myself please extend our sincere appreciation and thanks to everyone for a job well done.
