Cyrus has Down’s syndrome and was very nervous and anxious about his visits when he started with us at age eight. He needed a full mouth rehabilitation and we treated him under general anesthesia in the hospital. Today, Cyrus sits in the dental chair like any other patient and has fillings done with local anesthetic. He is never nervous about coming to see us for work. Through exposure to care and conditioning, he has become an excellent dental patient.
“I was looking for someone who specialized in pediatrics because Cyrus was very apprehensive about any doctor. It is very important that the doctors understand my child and his needs – if he is not comfortable, then he won’t sit for any treatment. I need not have worried once I found Ehrenman and Khan. When Cyrus is with them, he is very comfortable. Now he is at the point where he can just sit in the chair and have the work done – he had a filling and did very well. He loves the toy box and he loves the TV – such a good idea to have the TV right above the chair to distract kids!
Everyone here is extremely friendly, personable and knowledgeable – they never even forget your name! Plus the office has such an excellent design. Everything is just right and designed to put kids – and their parents at ease.”
Cyrus says, “I like the toys, the basketball and cars and pictures. I see Dr. Khan and she makes me laugh.”
