I went to Dr. Lindquist to remove a cyst growing in my jawbone. I thought that I was going for a consultation, but he offered to remove the cyst using local anestetic, a procedure which only took about 30 minutes. I was grateful to be taken care of so quickly, but I was not prepared for a surgery and recovery that same day.
I have a three complaints.
1) I filled out the online forms so that I wouldn't have to fill them out in the waiting room, but they lost my file and I had to fill them out again.
2) His bedside manner was terrible. He offered to do the surgery same day, and then started numbing me up without explaining what the surgery and recovery would be like. It would have been helpful to know what I was getting into first. At least I saved the $100 consultation fee.
3) I perform surgeries on rats as part of my job, and I noticed that Dr. Lindquist was not using sterile gloves. He also took off gloves, set them down, and put them back on again. That's not what I like to see from people doing surgery. They should keep the site as sterile as possible!
*Disclaimer: I am also in quite a bit more pain than I expected to be in right now, so that may color this review. read more
