Very Disappointing Experience - Will Not Be Returning…read more This was my first visit to this office after switching dentists. I had to wait approximately one month for an appointment. The purpose of my visit was to have my tooth examined/scanned and to have a filling replaced. I had previously received fillings from my former dentist and had no issues with that treatment. Since I recently moved to Suffolk County, I decided to switch to this dentist. Unfortunately, the experience was extremely disappointing. The doctor came in and, within approximately two minutes, told me in a very rude and dismissive manner that she absolutely could not perform a filling on the tooth. She stated that the tooth was not a good candidate for a root canal and recommended having the tooth extracted. She also stated that even after the extraction, the adjacent tooth could potentially become loose and might also need to be extracted. When we explained that the tooth had previously been filled by my former dentist and that the filling had recently come out, the doctor responded, in a very loud and disrespectful tone, essentially saying, "Then go to that dentist. I'm not doing it." I understand that a dentist may determine that a filling or other treatment is not appropriate. However, the way this information was communicated was extremely unprofessional and unnecessarily rude. Patients should be treated with respect and spoken to in a calm and professional manner, even when the recommended treatment is extraction rather than a filling. Initially, we were also told that there were no treatment options and that there was nothing she could do. Only after we specifically requested medication for the infection and pain did she prescribe antibiotics and ibuprofen. I will not be returning to this office and will be looking for another dentist. I hope the doctor takes this feedback seriously and improves the way she communicates with patients in the future.

How this all started was, I called a few days earlier to get my x-rays emailed to me because they told me after doing x-rays that they could not help me and would not do anything for me when I asked for a referral. They told me "I don't know what to tell you"... So after making an appointment by myself with another dentist, I asked for the x-rays. The 70-year-old man at the front desk had a major attitude the entire time, finally when I drove over there because they would not send the x-rays. I asked him what his problem was. He then lifted up my keys that were on the counter and PROCEEDED TO THROW THEN AT ME.!!!!!! I called the police who came and conveniently the camera cameras were "broken" I would not take a dog here to get Dental work done. The old man at the front desk has to be related to a dentist there or something because I don't know how he's still working there.
