for some years I have been going to Citrus Heights modern dentistry. I have seen many different…read moredentist there. I went in on an emergency as I had a tooth that was really bothering me with an infection, Dr. Patel wrote me a prescription for amoxicillin and it really helped, and I really did appreciate that. I was told the tooth needed to be pulled, and I would have to see Dr. Gurrero ( their contract oral surgeon ) for that which was no real big deal. They were also going to do a bone graft as I was going to get an implant done also. I went in on the 2nd of July for the extraction. I have found the dentist, hygienist, and the dental assistants at the office to always be nice and friendly. Dr Guerreros assistants were mean and snotty and not friendly at all. Well I should say that Dr. Guerrero doesn't have the best chair side manners either, as a matter of fact he could probably take some lessons from Dr. Patel in chair side manners. I was talking to dr about something, and without any warning or asking I get this big block shoved into my jaw to help my mouth open, which really pissed me off, I wanted to take that thing out and throw at the b***ch that put it in but I had been numbed up , so I stayed cool. So then he started to pull the tooth. then I tried to swallow and I couldn't, I was starting to gag, I was thinking I'm chocking. But then I figured out, the b***ch had place wad of gauze in my throat which was causing me to have a gag reflex. So then I'm sitting in the chair, trying to swallow from reflex as my mouth is drying out, then the b***ch tells me to move my tongue, I'm thinking move it? Well you stupid b where am I supposed to move it to? I can't exactly pull it out can I. Then I see she has something in my mouth holding my tongue. Then I'm thinking I'll be dammed if I am ever going to come back to this place again, especially with these people to get my implant put in my jaw. But wouldn't you know it, last Thursday I had one of my implants teeth come loose, so I called for an emergency appointment to come in and get it fixed. I was told there was nothing available until the next day . So I called a few places, and I called the Roseville dental company at 930 am, they got me in at 130 that same day. I went in, I got my tooth fixed and I asked if they could put in the screw for my implant after it healed, they said they could. I also told them about my experience at Citrus Heights modern dentistry, they all got a good laugh at that. I am going to Roseville dental company for an appointment about my implant on Monday. I will probably continue on with Dr.Patel as my dentist, and with Naz as the hygienist as they are both two of the kindest, nicest dental professionals I have ever met. But there is someone because of the people he employs that have no chair side manners that I will not go to. I really do not hold a grudge against Dr. Guerrero, I really don't have anything against him as a dental surgeon. I have been to a lot, and I do mean a lot of dentist in my lifetime, I have never seen or been around more miserable, snotty, and mean assistants then these things.
