"My goal is to provide my patients with a positive experience in my office," explains Dr. Lisa Kalfas. "Many people are apprehensive about going to the dentist. The key to my practice is a gentle and sensitive approach."
Patient comfort is very important to Dr. Kalfas. Patients are greeted by a warm and friendly staff. The plant-filled office provides a relaxed environment, and headphones are available to patients during treatment.
Dr. Kalfas chose a career in dentistry because "it is rewarding to do something for people that benefits their health and improves their self-image," she says. She loves the attention to detail and the artistry that her profession demands. Dr. Kalfas offers a wide range of dental services in her office: fillings, crown and bridge work, cosmetic dentistry, periodontal care, oral surgery, root canal therapy and children's dentistry.
Dr. Kalfas stresses a preventive approach to oral health care. "Patient education is very important," she explains. " So many people are becoming more consicous of their health, and they appreciate learning how to maintain healthy teeth and gums. I try to explain everything so that my patients understand any treatment necessary."
