Went for the first time. It took about 5 different sets of equipment to finally get x-rays. The dentist reached into a little metal, rather unclean looking, box and dug around for the equipment to check my teeth. Didn't open the box, just reached in under the lid. Didn't explain anything he was doing. My appointment was late in the day. He started painting something on my teeth and when he finally had his hand out of my mouth I asked when I would rinse my mouth. Oh, not for 6 hours! I would not have had that procedure if he had told me beforehand. I needed a root canal. My doctor had suggested that I get antibiotics prescription from the dentist. He does not give prescriptions, you have to be the antibiotics from him. They were a little package, looked like wrapped in a piece of manilla envelope for $30.00. I couldn't use my prescription insurance. I didn't buy them. Also he showed me some toothpaste and said he wanted me to use it twice a day. No other information about the toothpaste. When I went to leave, my bill included $30.00 for the toothpaste. In checking local pharmacies, with a prescription I could get it for a little over $11.00 to a high of $16.00, after getting prices from 5 local pharmacies. But again, he would not write a prescription. Dental x-rays and exam, etc., were like none other I have ever gotten. The dentist didn't bother to inform you of what he was doing. Was unimpressed with him, his office and my treatment. And with the drug, toothpaste, etc. charges, I felt like I was being scammed. He was making a really good profit on the toothpaste, and I'm sure, had I been able to check, it would have been the same for the antibiotics. My first visit with this dentist, was also my last. If you plan to go to this dentist and have prescription insurance, be warned, he will not write a prescription and you are stuck with his absorbative prices or going without. read more
