This guy should be barred from practicing dentistry. About 8 months ago I made an appointment to have a tooth refilled, he says filling is good but we can do a root canal. I had a cavity though so he fills it and 7 months later that tooth is still really sensitive. Had another tooth on the other side of my mouth he said needed a filling or a root canal but he wants to do a filling to avoid the root canal but if it doesnt work he will do the root canal. Fills it, tells me it was a mm close to the nerve which is not good , leaves all sorts of jagged edges and sends me home. This was 4 months ago. The whole row of teeth now are completely in pain, about 4-5 teeth, go back to him and he says gosh I dont know what going on here. Had to diagnose myself and had him pull my back tooth. He did not stitch it right so there is a big hole and part of the gum is now loose and the pain in the now 3-4 teeth are even more painful. So I go back and he says gee I dont know whats going on, I dont want to do the root canal because I just dont know and says he will send me to an endodontist to confirm and I say ok so if he says its a problem you will do the root canal? No I cant do the root canal its too hard for me to do. Then I say but you said you would do the root canal if the filling did not take? No I cant do it blah blah blah, and then I remind him of the original tooth he said he would do a root canal on and he says no I cant do that either!!! So I try to calmly explain to him that this is not right, that he is basically not taking responsibility for the work and trying to pawn me off on another dentist, who by the way would be twice as much money and I have no insurance. The guy starts having an anxiety attack and flailing his arms around getting all upset and touching me and grabbing me and telling me ohhh you are stressing me out man and I am like you are a dentist, all I am doing is simply explaining to you the inconsistencies in what you tell me one visit to the next and that you need to take responsibility for your work. He starts freaking out flailing more and touching and grabbing saying thats it we are done I cant treat you no more, you are just stressing me out too much and Im like dont you think its more than a little unethical to have created so many problems in my mouth and not only not take responsibility for it but refuse to fix the work you screwed up or did not finish properly? No man you are just stressing me out, good thing I did not raise my voice or start yelling, his head would have exploded. Just a complete unstable guy who created so much pain in my mouth. I had one minor problem in my mouth and now I have major problems directly related to his poor work and unethical behavior. Just a review, I know but I posted this to warn people about this guy. When you go to a doctor or a dentist you are putting your care in their hands and you have to be able to trust them completely, trust the work they do and trust the content of their professional character and this guy deserves to have his degree and license revoked. He is not worth the high probability of problems he will create, he is a horrible dentist and an even worse human being. He needs therapy or medication for the anxiety and he needs to retire and stop butchering peoples mouths. Hopefully I can find a good lawyer to stop a bad dentist.

Follow up to previous review. Went to another dentist and the 2 teeth I was complaining about for which Dr. Calantone said he had no idea what the problem was? Both of the teeth have cavities. How pathetic are you when you miss not one but two cavities. I went to this guy with one problem and 8 months later I now have problems with 5 additional teeth and all are due to this really bad dentist. read more
