14. Dr. Virmani

I had a root canal on Thursday, done by a root canal specialist, based on an evaluation by Dr. Virmani. And today - 4 days later - everything pretty much seems worse instead of better. I called the specialist who was very kind and said I might have an infection and they could squeeze me in on Thursday to take a look.

I figured there was a reasonably good chance I wouldn’t live to see Thursday, so I called Dr. Virmani’s office.

See how they are all smiling? That isn’t just because they love teeth. That is also because they are all really-nice-people! When you call an office full of really-nice-people they say “That sounds rough” and they find you an appointment that same day, and they greet you when you come in, and they make you feel important and cared for.

And I am feeling much better after a quick trip to Dr. Virmani, who happens to be a mile from my house, and from a nice dose of antibiotics.
