Was in extreme pain from two teeth that needed work done immediately. Since I've been unemployed, I've been on Keystone First and needed to find a dentist ASAP to take care of this pain. Called Joy Dental and they said they could see me in 2 days. Perfect.
I showed up, and X-Rays were taken. The dental hygienist struggled to get the machine to save the photos and once it was done the dentist came in, confirmed that I indeed had 2 issues with my teeth and told me SHE COULDN'T HELP ME. She then told me two dental schools in the city to go to. WTF. I came here with two teeth that needed work done as soon as possible. Unbearable pain.
After the dentist told me to go somewhere else, she put a bib and glasses on me. I asked what she was doing and she said OH WERE GIVING YOU A CLEANING.
I did NOT come here for a cleaning. I came here for issues with two of my teeth and was willing to pay to get them taken care of. Instead I was passed on to another dentist in the city.
What a joke. This dentist, after going here once, gives me this impression: Joy Dental only caters to those with Medicaid and does the absolute bare minimum. If you need anything done besides an X-Ray, you will be sent somewhere else. I left here after scheduling an emergency appointment, with my teeth cleaned, a new tooth brush, and a recommendation to go to Temple Dental school to get what I needed done.
Needless to say, I will NEVER be returning to this joke and mockery of a "dentist". What dentist confirms that I have two issues, and sends their patient away? read more
