    Dr. Christman is cool. I had a few extractions done last year, and after I very traumatic…read moreexperience at the IU School of Dentistry a few years ago, he restored my faith in dentistry. He said "you'll just feel some pressure" and for the first time ever, that's all I felt! I'm now working on my orthodontics, but I'll be back for implants after that. The office is really nice and so are the staff.

    I had one tooth extracted and 2 implants done the same day. They had me sit in the chair and had…read morethe money part determined. I wished they did this part ahead of time. The staff were great. Dr. Christman was diligent in discussing about the treatment and issues specific for me. Staff helped to load me in the car afterwards. All went smoothly and I was very pleased with them. For the next phase, the Dr was about 45 minutes late to see me. He gave me the shots to numb me then immediately started opening up my gum. I was not numb at all, but he kept going. I was screaming and crying until the numbness kicked in. IT WAS BRUTAL! I never had any experience in this country, ever!! I don't understand why he did that. He calmed me only after finishing up the cutting. Rest went fine since I was numb. I don't want this horrific experience ever again. Next time, I will be shopping elsewhere. Please check with him the pain level expected before hand. Phase 1, I give him 5 stars. Phase 2 - 1 star.

    My dentist and his assistant were top notch. All questions…read morewere answered, the dentist made me feel at ease, even if while shooting me in the mouth with a needle.

    Went in for a very painful tooth from a botched filling by another dentist. When I expressed…read moreconcern w/Dr. Brooke Adler's recommended treatment plan, and wanted to discuss it some more, Dr. Adler became frustrated and lifted my seat and took off her mask and said "it seems like you don't want to follow through with my recommended treatment". I explained that I did desperately need to be treated, because I was in a lot of pain and my insurance, which covered the cost of the treatment, was expiring that week. Then she said that there wasn't time to do any treatment that day (even though she had just told me she could treat me and I had confirmed multiple times before when setting up the appointment that there would be time). All of this happened within the span of about 5-10 minutes. I said that I had made an appointment specifically for treatment that day (and had taken the time off and moved things around for the treatment). Then Dr. Adler said she would go talk to her office manager. When Dr. Adler came back a few minutes later, she asked me to get up and follow her. I asked if I was going to be treated, and she would only answer "The office manager will explain everything." When I arrived at the manager's office, Dr. Adler quickly left me there. The office manager handed me a referral from Dr. Adler to go see another dentist. I told the office manager that I had told Dr. Adler I did want to move forward with her treatment plan, because there wasn't time to go see another dentist that week. The office manager was arrogant and rude, and refused to help me be seen before my insurance expired. I was so devastated. I had never experienced a doctor or dentist refusing to treat me, or someone acting so petty and smug about withholding treatment from me. This was all bad enough. But then 2 days later, I received a 'Cease and Desist' letter from Pure Zen's attorney stating that if I didn't remove the negative reviews I had posted on Yelp and Google following my experience, that Pure Zen and Dr. Adler would SUE ME for defamation and 'emotional distress' caused by my bad reviews. This added insult to injury, as I was the one who had actually been hurt by this whole situation. I was (and still am) the one in pain and Pure Zen are the ones who were in the wrong. If anything, I should have been suing them! But I had wasted enough stress and mental energy on them already. I responded that I knew my rights and the defamation laws and that businesses cannot win lawsuits against consumers for recounting true experiences with them online. Their attorney began to argue back and forth with me about this via email for several hours the evening before NYE, and stated that if I did not remove the reviews, then they would sue me and I would need to hire a lawyer to defend myself. They were basically trying to bully me with the threat of significant legal expenses to take down my review. When I continued to refuse, citing that my statements were true and that I would defend myself in court if necessary, Pure Zen's attorney replied that she's "looking forward" to suing me and that she may also pursue defamation charges against her law firm (Taft), though I had not mentioned her law firm anywhere online before this. This put me under tremendous stress and anxiety that negatively impacted my holiday weekend, and has continued to stress me out these last few weeks. Ordinary people should not have to worry about companies and medical practices making them go broke if they refuse to allow their right to free speech be taken away from them. It's a form of legal extortion that is wrong and something I would never expect from a medical professional. So far, I have not received any court filing notice, so hopefully this group has come to their senses and dropped their outrageous legal threat against me. It is amazing to me that they didn't just apologize, own up to their mistakes, and work with me to come up with a resolution to get me treated. That's what any good practice would have done. I just hope that no one else has to go through this.
