The high point is always Dr Tyler. I chose him because I read all the reviews and he stated out as compassionate and as an outside-the-box thinker. Both were spot on! He normally doesn't extract teeth but due to the MCS he did so. It is the first time I have been given anesthesia without pain, and the tooth pulled in a unique manner which resulted in ZERO pain after the extraction. Since I am unable to take any medications, this was an incredible blessing! I am so grateful for his concern, expertise and experience. Outstanding.
