I have been going to Dr. Bristol for about 6-7 yrs now. My ins accidently gave his # to us, He was not on our ins. The staff was very understanding, and was still able to see me. His office makes you feel like your family and they are very family oriented. Everyone there always greets you w/ a smile, and you do not see a lot of turn over in his practice. He is very patient and caring, He does not try to extort money from you by doing extra work that does not need to be done. His modo is that he has made his living, and that he does this b/c he knows that he is helping someone. My six yr old was terrified of dentist, due to a past experience. Dr. Bristol let me come into the room and I was able to be w/my child. He was very understanding and made her feel at ease. The hygentist is also great w/children. She let my child use the water suction, which she thought was the greatest thing since slice bread. If you are looking for a DDS who does not see you as a #, but a pt. vist Dr.Bristol
