Seeing Is Believing


"Seeing is believing" is an idiom that means "only physical or concrete evidence is convincing".  Here at Drs. Goodman & Ko, live by this idiom everyday.


If you were a current patient in the office, you often will find that we love to show you what we see.  We love to show you our extremely detailed digital x-rays, or a photo of a fine hairline crack on your tooth, or will hand you a mirror and show you your cavity.  Whatever it is, we believe in evidence, and we will only make recommendations based on evidence.  We see you, our patients, as our partners in the journey of making your teeth healthier.  Only when you trust us and trust that we make recommendations purely based on what's best for your oral and overall health, will make this partnership long lasting.  We have thousands of individuals and families that embrace our philosophy, and we truly appreciate the trust and relationship that we've built over the years.  Thank you to our past and current patients, and a big welcome to those of you who would like to call a honest, personable, compassionate, and highly skilled dental office as your dental home.  We are looking forward in knowing you, helping you achieve the best oral health ever.


 Low radiation digital x-rays provide us with incredible clarity and allow us to diagnose with ease.

We often take photos of cavities to show and educate our patients. 

Instead of us telling you, "your tooth has a crack", we take digital photos to show you the condition of the tooth.

Until I delved into learning more about dental sleep medicine, I really had no understanding of the utmost importance of how having an optimal airway can affect so many body systems!  The biggest impact of airway health is sleep.  If poor airway can result in poor sleep, one can imagine the negative cascading consequences to the body of having a poor airway. Common chronic symptoms and ailments such as sinus infections, TMJD, headaches, acid reflux, and even constipation could be linked to poor airway anatomy.  Other more serious chronic diseases such

Long Purchasing Cycle of Dentistry

Image
We make decisions on purchases on a daily and weekly basis.  Things like where to get gas, coffee, groceries, or lunch are decisions we consciously or sometimes subconsciously decide.  With these products, if you will, the purchasing cycles are short.  Products with short purchasing cycle are not as critical when one makes a suboptimal decision.  If the salad is bad in this restaurant, simply go to the next cafe around the corner next time.  Not a big deal.  On the other end of the spectrum, there are products with long purchasing cycle - such as a house, a car, and appropriately for this blog: a dental procedure (or dental office).  I am sure nobody signs papers on purchasing a house on a whim.  And nor should anyone pick a dental office by randomly pointing to a map. Because we know how long the "purchase cycle" is for dental procedures in general, we absolutely do not take short cuts, or use inferior products when it comes to treating our patients.  We (all the doctors a
