“I like putting patients at ease, especially when they are going through something difficult and frightening with their oral health. I like taking good care of them with the best materials and technologies, even though they may not realize it. I take their treatment very seriously, yet remain outgoing and humorous in my approach to patient care. I am always concerned about the individual patient’s safety, comfort and budget.” – Dr. Satko
