My husband found a 'good one' and has been to see Dr. Stasulis twice in the past 4 years.

In addition to Dr. Stasulis, the staff at both the Wethersfield and the Farmington office is very helpful and timely. We appreciate all they do.

They each explained every step, checked on me during waiting times, gave instructions to each other in a calm way, repeated the instructions quickly and concisely.

I brought my son to the Wethersfield location to have 4 wisdom teeth extracted at 9:00 am. He is 19 so I did not go in with him, nor was I ever asked if I had any questions or concerns. Not only 15 minutes later I hear my son moaning and wincing in pain. I had to tap on the window to the receptionist and said, " I am pretty sure that I can hear my son, in pain". She tried to tell me that the I was hearing the suction machine. I said "No, that's my son!" She then said "Well, I will go see if he's ok. She closed the window on me, but I slid it back open to see where she went. She pretended to go to the room to check on him, but she did NOT! She came back to the window and said " yes, he's ok." I didn't say anything about seeing her walk to the door and back but never go into the room or even open the door to the room. My son was now quite so I waited a few more minutes. I thought maybe they had given him something more. I then heard him again this time extremely loud. I knocked on the window again and said, " OK now this is unacceptable, and they need to give him something more- he is clearly feeling this procedure!" This time, she did go in the room and came back to me and said "They are almost done. That tooth was really impacted." This is strange because the x-rays prior to this at the pre-op consolation did not show impaction. At about 9:50 am I was called to receive the post op instructions from the women who the Dr referred to as "his assistant". I don't know her name because she never introduced herself. Again, very cold delivery of instructions and when I asked a question regarding the gauze, she spoke over me. By this point, I just wanted to get my son home. When it was time to leave, I was instructed to go out and move my car to the front and they would meet me out there. This woman, the assistant, brought my post-surgery son down from the third floor, in the elevator, by herself. She is small in stature, so I questioned the safety of this because, although my son is not a big person....this is NOT a safe practice for their patients nor for her! At about 2:30 in the afternoon, my son woke up in excruciating pain and concerned because he thought his stitched came out. He had taken the 600mg ibuprofen, as they directed, as soon as we got home (about 10:30) and then at 2:30 he took the prescribed pain med. Because he was in so much pain and worried about sutures, I called the Wethersfield office. Again, I am not sure who I was speaking with because no one ever seems to introduce themselves, not even the surgeon, post op, when he entered the room. But the women I spoke to would not allow me to speak and she would (like the assistant) constantly talk over me. When I said " We did everything you are saying and what I am saying is ..." She cut me off and very nasty, said " Right, what I AM SAYING is..." To which, I hung up the phone. There is not much that can be done at this point. And unfortunately, I have to give it 1 star for this to post. They made sure they collected every penny before they would even come out to get my son from the waiting room. Wish I had read the reviews prior to choosing them, money seems to be their driver. But the teeth were extracted -so there's that! I immediately contacted our family dental practice to let them know of our experience and that they certainly should NOT be recommending any of their patients to this practice. And they provided me with sound and compassionate medical advice. I will be sure to place this review everywhere and anywhere I can, I work in a large, local, hospital, and I will share this story every chance I get. I hope that by doing so, I will save some one (or their loved one) from a terrible experience.

The staff from check in to check out were great and the office was well put together and clean. What I'm disappointed in is the postoperative care we received by Dr. Fenton himself. After the procedure, my daughter had the normal post operative symptoms, especially from what I thought was post anesthesia side effects. Since that first day she has been running a fever and has been in extreme pain, again what I thought was normal. She has taken her dose of medications correctly and consistently and has only felt ok for a couple of hours throughout the day, by the evening her symptoms worsened. It is now 3 days later and we are in the Emergency Room due to a fever of 103.1 and tachycardia. Dr. Fenton was not sympathetic at all when he called me back yesterday morning and the reason I decided to bring her to the hospital. I tried not to call because we were following the instructions we were given and she was on top of her postoperative care but for some reason she has gotten worse instead of better. When I tried explaining that to Dr. Fenton at first he seemed ok but the more questions I asked the more annoyed he seemed to get with me. All I wanted was his professional opinion and if we are doing something wrong because when you know your children, you know them and my daughter was not ok. When I left the message I made sure I mentioned that she has history of seizures and that's why I was concerned about the fevers she was getting his response from as "well that's something that should've been mentioned, it's not in the chart." That is something we never forget to mention. He basically said she was dramatic because of her age (teenager), she's 18 not 13. I even tried to tell him I understood what he was trying to explain to me because I also work in the medical field and deal with postoperative care weekly but that seemed to set him off. He told me he did not care about what my background was and that he didn't need to talk with me about that but all I was doing was letting him know I understood but there's something wrong with my daughter. He told me to talk with her primary care doctor and to keep hydrated and he was also chuckling like if it wasn't a serious matter. I have never dealt with this kind of situation with a professional in my life. I have worked in the medical field since 18yrs old and never came across a MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL like I did Dr. Fenton. We are in the ER getting testing done and temporary treatment until we find out what is going on and have proof of it all. What was suppose to be good Doctor Patient care turned into what felt like I was bother to his Sunday morning. I wish we could've experienced the type of care I read on these other reviews because that is NOT the same doctor I spoke with. All I wanted was him to be understanding and reassure me that everything was ok but it feel that way. It's important to make sure your patients are doing ok after surgery especially when it comes to the mouth. I will never recommend anyone to that place, don't let the nice office and staff fool you because the man behind that is anything but sympathetic and professional, I should've realized that the moment he walked in and didn't introduce himself before getting my daughter started for the procedure, he just got straight to the point
