- KARRENT SIERRA IS AN UNETHICAL DENTIST -
I am writing the details as I feel like this is my citizen duty to do so. I also never write reviews.
I came in first to fix a moving crown that was unstable. It just needed to be glued. Just by touching she told me I was going to need an implant (major surgery), and confirmed after imagery.
She did not accept taking the recent top of the line X-rays from my dentist from 3 months prior and ended up Xraying all my teeth again, only to throw her pivoting screen in my face while seating down to tell me that I am up for a big amount of work this year...!
She then goes on explaining to me I had Bone loss by 30%, Dry mouth, 3 cavities around and about 6 decays because of it. My dentist on the west coast became a friend and is practicing for 25 years, 5 years on me. He has never seen any of these conditions on me before and certainly not could have happened in 3 months!
Karrent staff systematically validated the fake diagnosis above my degrading face in the seat. Oh, and because I am now having a terrible mouth, had me signing up for the fluoride pills prescriptions that are not all reimbursed by insurance even though they tell you it is.
I ask her what she thinks that I am doing Epsom Salt bath after brushing every day (which is one the healthiest things you can do to restore neutral PH and avoid cavities), and she blank says it makes things worse and that I should go for the subscription. I signed it at first and cancelled later understanding the whole thing was a SCAM.
She then tells me that she will treat me as Family, because i came referred to her by a "great friend of hers who is family to her" which is not true either. She goes on saying she hates being the "bearer of bad news" and that she feels bad for the dentistry I had just done. Usual tactic to gently discredit the counterpart work, which BTW my new dentists acknowledges and has qualified as "impressive".
I called my dentist friend to have a second opinion. He required to see the X-ray. Rosie (the assistant) first sent me an other person X-ray (surprising isn't it?) and only after insisting on them not being the right ones, sent me mine:
My dentist already knew the diseases were not true when I talked to him after the appointment. The now actual diagnosis is that out of the half dozen decays she pointed it out to me and 3 cavities, only one tiny decay was to be eventually considered and looked at. I also purposefully consulted on a third opinion from my new dentist in Sunny Isles: 1 decay which is now fixed. No dry mouth, no cavities, nothing nowhere.
Circling back to the Crown that needed to be glued, it came off on its own a couple days after I came in. The bone inside is dead from a route canal years ago but it is completely stable in the jaw and no fractures in the length, healthy and does not need anything but glue! Why would I need an implant like she said?! Terrifying.I called to make the appointment to glue in emergency which she should have done in the first place! But she was too busy diagnosing my virtual diseases then. As she was then on vacation, I ask Rosie who would do that and she answers "an assistant" -My dentist friend tells me that there is no way an assistant should do that.
I am then running away from them for good, went to my cirrent dentist who is ETHICAL -
Now, do not misread: miss Karent may be a good skilled and TECHNICAL dentist. But I certainly did not want to take the risk to spend 100K to figure that one out. Before anything, a Doctor must have at least some kind of ETHICS and TRULY HONEST caring feelings to their patients, not GREED.
Now, who would not be alarmed by a dentist giving you some Parafene gel bath for your hands while practicing HAIR REMOVAL and BOTOX INJECTIONS in the other rooms!? In most states you'd lose your license as a dentist, doing that. My trusted dentists just could not believe it! Doctors like that hurt the beautiful profession. GREED is the common denominator in her practice and it all was clear after I recuperated emotionally. She leveraged the natural trust to medical care only to do a FAKE DIAGNOSIS AND ABSOLUTELY UNNECESSARY TREATMENTS. The worst is that the staff is indeed very sweet! That is how sick this situation is, as they all know what is going on and been there a long time.Please don't be fooled by their caring attitude and Charity work pictures on the walls.. Ask for a TREATMENT PLAN and for a 2nd opinion if you want to go there. The feeling is that after doing this for years and years, they don't even realize they are lying to themselves anymore. I called the assistant Rosie out on all the above. She was cornered and did not know what to say in the end besides that it sounded obvious that she knows she is part of a malpractice.
Lastly she did not practice the fee schedule that should have me pay $150 instead of $305.'Coming from a close friend',she gave me a $35 rebate instead to pay 270. I hope this helps people in real need of care read more
