STAY AWAY!!!!!
I went to see Dr. Kravitz a few years ago to have a wisdom tooth pulled. It was the worst experience of my life! 1st he tried to tell me that it was not my wisdom tooth that was the problem, and wanted to pull a tooth several teeth up from my wisdom tooth! We argued for 45 minutes about it until I stated I was leaving then he finally agreed to pull the wisdom tooth. The tooth that was the problem was by bottom left wisdom tooth, so I was told "When you pull a bottom tooth you must pull the top tooth also" not sure if that is true or not, but at that point I was in so much pain I would have let him pulling all my teeth out just to stop the pain. So he proceeded to pull the top one out with 2 shots of Novocaine and no pain at all. Then comes the bottom tooth, 2 shots of Novocaine and all kinds of pain. I tried to explain to him that it really really hurts, he tells me that's not possible. Now I am getting really Mad! We argue again so he finally agrees to 2 more shots of Novocaine, again still hurts like hell. He tells me again, that I am crazy and it is in my head. Then proceeds to start to pull the tooth out, but is having a problem getting it out. He then puts his foot on my chair to get leverage, are you kidding me. The nurse he had in the room was just filing in for his nurse that was on vacation, and she actually had tears in her eyes because she felt so bad for me. Anyways, the tooth finally comes out and he actually says "Oh I found why you were having pain, look at the size of the abscess on that tooth. Hello aren't you a dentist, shouldn't you know that could be the problem, and the dead give away should have been the Novocaine not working (I was told by an other dentist that Novocaine doesn't work on abscess teeth). Then he puts in the stitches and guess what they don't dissolve, I have to go back in ten days to have them removed. I was in pain the whole ten days, then horrible pain when he took the stitches out also. Then I had to Indore harassing phone calls for the next 3 month on my home phone, my cell phone, and the worse of all my work phone. They called none stop trying to get me to come back to have a cleaning and maintenance (as they call it), it even got to the point were he showed up at my working asking me when I was going to come back for a cleaning, ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!! I would never recommend this jerk to anyone, in fact I would tell everyone never ever go to see him, even if no one else is open, i would rather suffer in pain for a few more days then ever to see him again!!! read more
