Dr. Kaady takes a holistic, patient-centered approach to care. Our focus is on creating a calm, grounded environment that supports your nervous system and honors your comfort level.

If you'd benefit from additional help relaxing, you have two safe, soothing sedation options:
- Inhaled Sedation - Also known as laughing gas, this option is delivered through a small mask and takes effect within minutes. You'll feel calm, light, and at ease throughout your visit. The effects wear off quickly, so you'll be able to drive yourself home afterward.
- Oral Conscious Sedation - This option involves taking a small prescription pill before your appointment. You'll feel deeply relaxed throughout your visit. While you'll remain awake, you may feel drowsy or briefly doze off. Because the effects can linger, you'll need a companion to drive you home.
