I want to start off by saying that I gave Dr. Choby every chance possible to rectify the situation before leaving this review. To begin with, I went to see a general dentist who recommended that I get a retreatment on a root canal due to an infection and because I was in pain and discomfort. In looking for an endodontist, I found Dr. Choby, and based on her review ratings and comments left, it looked like she would be my best choice (moving forward, I will take perfect reviews with a grain of salt). I drove more than an hour to see Dr. Choby given how good it seemed she might be. After she examined my tooth, it was her professional opinion that I get a retreatment on my root canal to get rid of the infection. It took two visits to complete the treatment. I say this as an observation, but Dr. Choby physically looks as though she should retire, given the line of work that she does and the precise nature of her work. Her hands would shake, which made me nervous. During my two visits to complete the treatment, she hit my nerve twice when injecting the back of my mouth on different days, which hurt, and she said both times on different days, "Oops, I got too close to the nerve." I was allowed to split my out-of-pocket costs between the two visits. Given that I still had a bill after the first visit, the girl at the front desk called to check up on me. After the treatment was complete and they collected all the money for the treatment, I never received a follow-up to see how I was doing. Dr. Choby's body language did not seem confident in her work, that she was able to get rid of the infection. When I went to my general dentist for my new crown, he also noticed in the X-rays that the infection still appeared to be there. He gave Dr. Choby the benefit of the doubt and said let's give it a year to heal to see if the infection goes away. Throughout the past year since the retreatment, I have had to be on antibiotics due to issues with the same infection, and I am here today, after spending a little over $2,000 out of pocket for the retreatment and crown, now having to get that tooth extracted due to being in the same position I was in before getting the retreatment and the infection never going away after Dr. Choby completed her work. I contacted Dr. Choby's office multiple times to try to see if I could get a refund, given that her work was unsuccessful in getting rid of the infection and having to pay all this money to still be in the same position I was in before getting the retreatment. Dr. Choby declined my request for a refund with no reason given. I asked if she could at least cover the cost of the tooth extraction, which would be around $200, and I was disregarded and ignored and then given a no. My tooth infection is even worse now and has created an abscess. Her practice is also outdated, with chairs in the waiting area that are on the verge of breaking. People have died from tooth infections, but it seems as though Dr. Choby cares more about financial gain than doing morally the right thing. Do yourself a favor and go elsewhere for an endodontist. read more
