Do you know anyone who actually likes going to the dreaded dentist? Well, I didn’t always. Throughout my life I liked the dentists alright but that didn’t make up for the uncomfortable nervousness and butterflies that I would inevitably feel. I actually didn’t know that Dr. Kusumo and his wife Maria could do anything differently to assuage this discomfort but they did and that’s why I volunteered to write this little piece. Dr. Kusumo did some beautiful dental work, offered to help me in any way he could and laughed at my jokes. He invited my input into the best way to proceed with the multitude of work I needed to have done but first he explained everything in detail so I’d be able to make intelligent decisions; I liked that. Maria provided warmth, charm and also laughed at my jokes! These two people are caring number one, professional, efficient and take you in as family not only for financial gain. You’ve read up to this point so you’re probably interested in going to the dentist I described here. , If what I’ve said isn’t true then you have nothing to lose; there is no one else that matches this description that you know of, is there? ………..Marie, Claremont, CA
