Dr. Skinner

While I was home over the break, I was lucky enough to get a root canal. Well actually, technically I had already gotten a root canal, but this time I was just getting the permanent crown.
Funny story. My brother Jeremy has been practicing out in Queen Creek for over a year now, but this was the first time I had gone to see him (not because of the lack of trust, but simply because I have been in Utah). So I sit down in the chair and after Jeremy had looked at all my xrays and given time for the Novocain to settle in, he started to drill in my molar. For some weird reason, I blame it on the Novocain, it felt like Jeremy was drilling in the wrong tooth. So me, being the paranoid patient and feeling rather comfortable because it was my brother sitting next to me, begin to embarrass myself and my doctor when I say...."Jeremy, are you sure your drilling the right tooth?" Wow, when I saw him kind of chuckle I realized how idiotic that was for me to say. First of all, he looked at all my xrays and knew exactly what tooth he was to be working on, and secondly, he's the doctor. Needless to say, I felt pretty dumb. Of course he was drilling the right tooth, geez Whitney.

So other than the fact that this guy doesn't think I trust him, it was great experiencing the work of Dr. Skinner. I highly recommend him, even if it does feel like he's drilling in the wrong tooth ;)
