I am pretty mad at my current dentist (grace family dental) and am looking for a change. Any suggestions from people?

Levinson Smile on Linden st. I had a really bad experience at Aspen dental and did a bunch of research and asking around and ended up going to Levinson smile. I've been going about 2 years now and would definitely recommend it. Dr. Levenson is awesome and the hygienist I see is really sweet and gentle.
They also offer options for conscious sedation which is one of the reasons I initially went because I have a novocaine insensitivity. Aspen dental would not listen to me when I tried to explain this which led to an extremely traumatic experience where I had full sensation during a root canal. My anxiety after that was so bad that I avoided the dentist for 2 years until I got a terrible toothache and couldn't ignore it.
I picked Levenson dental because I saw they offered conscious sedation and I couldn't face the idea of getting more work done and having the novocaine wear off.
Thankfully nothing was wrong, it ended up that Aspen dental messed up my crown and my bite was incorrect causing pain. But Dr Levinson was extremely compassionate and understanding and didn't make me feel bad for having avoided the dentist all that time.
Also it only took him 5 minutes to fix the shape of my crown and the pain was totally gone after a few days.
