I'm one of those people who puts on two layers of deodorant before going to the dentist, but Dr. Batchelor, wife Michelle and all the staff, Debbie, Sherry, Susan, etc., welcome me in with open arms. Truly, they are all kind people, who put a smile (yes, that's a joke) on a sometimes trying experience. My husband and I have been regular patients for years - never a regret.
