I had an abscessed tooth, and it hit in the morning on a Friday. I couldn't stand the sudden and intense pain. I called all around Redding, and nobody could get me in before Monday". No one. I called Bruce Wheeler's office and the receptionist asked if I could be there in 15 minutes! (If I could teleport, yes!) So, he made me an appointment for an hour later. I went in, and she greeted me by my first name. She asked where my husband worked, and then started naming off his coworkers and asking if I knew them. Very sweet lady. I got in back within 20 minutes of arriving, and he set to work pulling my tooth. It was nerve-wracking, because I hate going to the dentist... but, he got it out in one piece. He's not the most friendly dentist I have ever gone to, but was nice enough, especially since I was an emergency appointment.(I was in a lot of pain, and he didn't waste time getting my mouth numbed the tooth out.) He asked several times if I was okay, as I was white-knuckling it... (I was nervous but felt no pain!) I very much appreciated that I was in and out within an hour of arriving. The charge was minimal, too. (I would've paid a ton more to get rid of the pain!).
