No one likes going to the dentist -- some people are even afraid. That is why we're lucky to have someone like Dr. Cross. His devotion to his patients is easily seen even in his answering machine message at his office, that instructs the caller to leave a message, unless they are in pain, in which case they should call him at home [the number is provided]. He is careful to make sure that his patients are comfortable as he does his work, and will breezily chat with you as he gets down to business. An added benefit is the radio always playing in the background, and Dr. Cross' occasional singing along, which helps put the patient at ease. Even if you aren't a regular patient, if you call with dental emergency, he will take you in at once. A definite credit to his profession!
