Temporary crown came out after 3 days. Permanent crown came out after a few days AND I had to drive from out of state to have them repair it as there were no solutions they were willing to offer for me to remedy the situation where I was. Had the terrible experience of retrieving that crown after swallowing it...when eating soup. I heard plenty about his divorce that was still pretty fresh at the time. Hearing loads of F-bombs at a family dentist and being told, after drilling down my tooth already, that they decided to charge me more (which they did not after I brought up that I was paying in cash and being held hostage with my mouth open was uncool) made it so that going back to get it reattached was more than a chore. Out of his good grace, I was told I would not be charged for reattaching a crown that should not have come out after only a few days. I laughed thinking he was joking about even considering charging me after I drove hundreds of miles to allow him the opportunity to remedy the situation. On Christmas 2021, permanent crown came out again when eating bread. Beyond the cement failing yet again (I have another crown that was 5x less the cost that has never come out), the lack of professionalism from the head dentist never sat well with me. I waited to review for the inevitable occurrence of it falling out again. Finally giving the stars this dentist deserves. Thankfully, the crown was able to be put back on elsewhere so at least it was salvageable. And I didn't swallow it on Christmas so avoided that inhumane and unsanitary experience a second time. Go to the dentist office down the street. They treated me very professionally and did an excellent job with my root canal on that same tooth and were also my best friend's family dentist the 5 years they lived in Blue Hill. They just weren't able to get the crown as quickly, but I certainly paid the price for wanting the crown done before I headed back out from Maine by going to Castleberry.

On the website they say they are open to complimentary medicine "Though we approach most routine health care issues from a traditional "western" perspective, we understand that, for many, complementary medicine plays an important role in their overall health. We respect this approach and, when appropriate, we will weave this into the health care plan." This is simply not true. I have had an amazing Naturopathic Doctor for 15 years in another state that has been the only one to have any knowledge to help me with severe auto-immune disorders and tricky thyroid issues. He called to tell me that he "does not believe in that model of care" and "does not believe in Naturopathic Doctors" and was not even willing to call mine. He then added he would not "just drop me" but would write me one more script for my thyroid medicine. Gee... thanks - considering that if I do not have thyroid meds I could get very sick and eventually slip into a fatal coma (which almost happen a while back with another negligent doctor). My husband had a similar experience, yet not as bad. He went in because he could barely walk with back issues. He was basically told that he is getting old (he is 40) and does manual labor and shouldn't expect much, and because he doesnt have money they won't order tests for him. My husband felt like the doctor made up his mind and stopped listening before he even finished describing his issues and what he has already done to help. The FNP then said he "would probably fail at PT". Who tells their patient that?! You might say it will be tough, it might be a challenge fitting it in or sticking with it, or it might not work for you - but why would a doctor phrase it that way?

Aha, I found it! :D…read more To recap from a previous review....years ago when I began my career in biotech, I landed a job that would become the foundation for everything that would follow. The problem was that in this new position, a large part of my day would involve collection of blood and tissues. And the mere sight of blood would make me pass out cold. Not good! I didn't know what to do -- I knew I needed this job in order to build the career I'd envisioned for myself, but my own biology was standing in the way. My mom suggested I look into hypnosis, and although I did (and still do) scoff at "alternative medicine" I figured what the hell, I was desperate. I did some searching and found Phil Brady at Advanced Hypnosis. Since it's been so many years I don't know what's changed since then, but at the time Phil worked out of his home. He had a quiet, cozy room set aside upstairs for hypnosis sessions, complete with a comfy chair and noise-canceling headphones. After discussing my issues with him, we got started. The headphones shut out all extraneous sounds but he had them wired so that his voice came through over a background of white noise (I think in my case it was ocean sounds). The session went extremely well and I was surprised that I was able to "go under" so easily. When the session was over, I felt more relaxed and refreshed than I ever remember feeling - before or since. I have been to a couple other hypnotherapists since then, but none has come close to this overall experience. I literally felt like I'd just woken up from a full week's nap. No subsequent hypnotherapy session has made me "go under" as far (that's the only way I can think to describe it) and I almost feel like I've been chasing the dragon ever since. Then, the most amazing thing happened. I went to work the following week and put it to the test....and to my surprise, I was totally fine. No passing out, no wooziness, nothing. I was able to do my work with no issues. I still can't believe all it took was one session to "fix" me but I'm not gonna argue -- whatever it is Phil does that's different from the rest is really something else. I only wish I still lived in Maine so I could go back.
