There are fruits and beverages to eat, free foot massagers in the waiting room, the subtle, pleasant scent of lavender, and a the soothing sounds of spa music wafting down the halls. Aaaah, pure bliss. During the actual procedure, you find that you are enjoying the music coming through the headphones they have given you. In some offices, they have video mask goggles that you can put on to watch your favorite show.

Patients are so calm that it is easy to work on them safely, and they often opt for additional services that are not covered by their insurance.
