Do not go to Dr. Stuart Feldman!!!! Worst most regretful dental implant experience of my life. My front tooth, tooth number 9 was removed by him due to crack/trauma. He removed the tooth and the same day placed an implant. He never took a ct scan to assess appropriate implant size. He did not bone graph the area which should have been done due to thin tissue in upper front gum area. And an implant was placed the same day when he should have just pulled the tooth and waited for the area to heal first since trauma occurred.
After complaining to him during several follow up appointments that I still felt pain and throbbing in the gum, he assured me I would be ok and pain would subside.
I waited and this never happened.
After a year I moved to New York and and noticed the pain was starting to travel up the left side of my face, so I started to seeing several specialists in Rochester, NY for different opinions. Each specialist told me this:
The implant was too large for the area and pressing on the incisive canal and too long jutting too close to my nasal cavity.
There should have been a time period to let the area heal before implant placement which was not done.
The implant was never housed in bone therefore it was just sitting in open gum because the area was not bone graphed.
THAT IS THREE MISTAKES!!!
At this point it had been three years the implant sitting in my mouth incorrectly and failing.
All the while many of the specialists believed this malpractice lead to my continued pain to be known as atypical facial pain which is the worst nerve pain in the world with symptoms of throbbing, cramping, stabbing, searing, electrical shocks and more!!!!!!
This all leads to me having to get the implant removed costing more money and time and energy.
I explained to Dr. Feldman what was going on and he asked to see my records from NY and he promised to review them and get back to me once I sent them to him.
So I sent him all the records and waited for a call. He never called me back. I called his secretaries and asked him to return my phone call. Still no call. Then I started to call his dr cell numbers asking for him to call me back. He never did.
The story ends with him sending me a threatening attorney letter telling me never to contact him again.
He committed malpractice and now instead of making it right he is hiding behind an attorney! The biggest jerk move and jerk dr I have dealt with!! I live in daily pain and I was simply asking for my money back to afford medications to help alleviate the pain caused my DR FELDMAN! read more
