So disappointed with my experience here.
My first time coming here was on Feb. 4th 2019 after scheduling since mid November 2018 (that was the soonest available). I had a great cleaning with Beth, she was very sweet and gentle... the best cleaning I've had in a long time, so I figured it would have been a great idea to return... WELL NOT!
After Beth took care of me I waited about 20 minutes to be seen by the actual dentist... which he never even came so Beth went out and had another dentist (Rula Rabady) look at my teeth. She seemed uninterested, very in and out. I should've known right then not to return, but my experience with Beth was so great that I decided to give it a chance.
On Feb. 11th, I went back for fillings. The Dentist asked me if I was in pain and I said NO. As soon as I layed down she asked me if I wanted all four filled in & so I said yes. I opened my mouth, & she went right into numbing me with anesthesia. The first needle did not hurt as much, but when she proceeded to enter the second one it hurt extremely badly. I was having a hard time breathing, & that's when I tried reminding her that I was PREGNANT. She panicked and looked over at her assistant, then asked me in a frantic way why I didn't tell her I was pregnant to begin with. Truth is, they NEVER PUT IT ON THE CHART! I wrote that I was pregnant on my first visit along with my due date.
The assistant tried distracting me by talking to me about her pregnancies and her kids experiences as the doctor went about her way typing on the computer. After 5 minutes she came back and Had me open my mouth to start the fillings. Once she drilled my wisdom tooth it started aching right away and I felt EVERYTHING. I raised both hands to for them to stop!
She was rushing through the whole procedure which took about 30 minutes for all four fillings (the shortest time I've ever spent at the dentist). After the anesthesia wore off that day I felt this intense pain in my mouth, but I said I'd give it a day because it could have just been the anesthesia.
The next day it got worse and infected. I couldn't chew so I gave up on eating because the pain was too intense. I called the next morning complaining about my pain & they scheduled to see me on Thursday, Feb 14th at 10:30am.
As soon as I was seen, the doctor apparently didn't even know that I was going in for pain. The assistant had to tell her as she was getting ready to perform another procedure on me. She took a look in my mouth (which was hard to open), started rubbing it while putting something to numb it and told me right away that she was recommending me to see a surgeon to pull my tooth out & that she would prescribe be amoxicillin. (I don't take MEDICINE).
I'm sad because of the lack on empathy that they even have for me there. It's like she was desensitized and didn't even care about the stress she put me through. The Dentist kept going back and forth when I asked her why she touched the tooth to begin with. I didn't have any pain... & she said that the tooth wasn't salvable, but that she tried to save it because I SAID SO... like if I demanded her to save my tooth. Mind you, all I needed was a fill in. When she drilled my tooth she had a hard time with my mouth being open because I was so tense, but she kept drilling anyways... even though I did warn her. So I'm her defense she tells me that she knew that my tooth needed to be extracted to begin with, but that she was doing me a favor by trying to save it even though she also argues that is WASN'T SALVABLE... extremely confusing right?
At this point I'm confused and in a lot of freaking pain. I have work, school, an infant and I'm currently pregnant. It's hard for me to work around everything now that I have this extra added stress. I am a very easy to work with person & I don't usually write reviews, but my experience here has caused me pain. I wish they could have at least showed a bit of sympathy, but they didn't.
The Dentist told me that pregnant people get their tooth pulled all the time and that she prescribes amoxicillin to pregnant woman a lot... basically she messed my mouth up and has alternatives for me to just get over it.
I have feelings, I'm a human not an experimental lab rat. I wish I could give this place no stars, but Beth was actually very great at her job. Now I hope to naturally get rid of this infection & be normal again soon. I will not be returning to this place and wouldn't recommend it to anyone. read more
