Very unethical family dental practice.
Tracy Keefe uses IARC Group I carcinogens (nickel and beryllium) under her cosmetic porcelain dental crowns without obtaining your informed consent and will refuse to remove these carcinogens when you suffer adverse side affects, such as pain and swelling.
She also failed to tell me that I had an ulcer in my jawbone from a tooth extraction seven months earlier that had failed to heal (though curiously, she did take a photo of it for her own records and never showed it to me, withholding information from me that would have allowed me to be an informed consumer) before selling me and installing a cosmetic bridge over it, and anchoring the bridge with a carcinogenic 78% nickel plus beryllium post into a tooth with root resorption (another sign of oral/bone cancer).
I paid for an oral cancer screening and my dental records there stated that my Oral Cancer exam was "within normal limits" when it clearly was not.
Tracy Keefe falsified my dental records in order to obtain high-end decorative painting services by me for her home, unjustly enriching herself and causing me to become seriously ill and permanently disabled.
I also developed new bone lesions under two porcelain fused to nickel-beryllium crowns that she placed on the other side of my mouth.
Interesting that this family business places so much mercury amalgam and carcinogens in the mouth, and will Walk or Race for the Cure for publicity reasons (btw, nickel promotes breast cancer), but in reality have no interest in practicing cancer prevention by using non-carninogenic metals or detecting/diagnosing early cancer in some of their patients, when it is highly curable, and certainly treatable, at all.
Tracy absolutely refused to remove her carcinogenic alloys (unless I paid her for a new bridge and crowns), telling me that I would never be able to PROVE that her carcinogenic dental alloys cause cancer or that I have cancer.
Her husband is an oncologist/hematologist/pathologist in at St. Francis Hospital in Hartford and she mentored with Ellen Eisenberg, head of oral pathology at UConn, the only oral pathology service in Connecticut and gee, it's really strange, but for the last 15 years I have been unable to obtain a biopsy of my jawbone, despite there being an obvious bone abnormality in my jawbone underneath Tracy's dental work on UConn and St. Francis MRIs.
If you had an ulcer in your jawbone and lesions in your jawbone and you were getting sicker and sicker after having dental work done, wouldn't you want a biopsy, a diagnosis and treatment?
Even Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev apologized for the pain and suffering he caused his victims. Tracy Keefe will never apologize for the pain and suffering she causes her victims. Instead, she will stand by her carcinogens, insist that there is no pathology underneath the toxic bridge she sold you, have you blacklisted by all oral surgeons and oncologists, then very coldly and very cruelly sit back and watch you suffer and call you a "whacko" and "delusional" for thinking her dental treatment is making you sick (a form of abuse used by sociopaths, called "gaslighting").
Also, her malpractice insurance does not cover damages in cases of intentional malpractice or fraud. They will only pay for her "vigorous defense." I learned this the hard way.
Therefore, I would definitely NOT recommend this family business for oral cancer screenings or for cosmetic dental work (crowns and bridgework), and if you have ever had cosmetic dental work done here by Tracy in the past, I'd get it out. Dr. Keefe told me that she uses nickel-beryllium alloys in all of her patients, even though the MSDS warns that these alloys may cause cancer.
UPDATE July 1, 2015:
So who do you think clicked "funny" and "cool" under this review and then proceeded to post TEN 5-star reviews in ONE day today, all of which have been moved to the "not currently recommended" reviews below by the Yelp software after being detected as unreliable?
From Yelp Content Guidelines:
"Conflicts of interest: Your contributions should be unbiased and objective. For example, you shouldn't write reviews of your own business or employer, your friends' or relatives' business, your peers or competitors in your industry, or businesses in your networking group. Business owners should not ask customers to write reviews."
Dear Canton Valley Dental,
That you find a negative review such as this one "funny" and "cool", and then post TEN 5-star reviews in a single day from unreliable sources, only strengthens my case that you are a very unethical business.
I will gladly remove this review if I get an apology from Tracy and a diagnosis and treatment of those lesions and ulcer in my jawbone that Tracy photographed yet failed to disclose to me prior to selling me a cosmetic bridge.
Please, show your customers that you really are the professional, knowledgeable and compassionate people that you claim to be. read more
