    Why I am annoyed and can't recommend Dr. Martin Elson.
    Maureen B.

    Why am I annoyed? Photo shows Instructions for me to arrive at 1:15 today for my first visit to Dr. Martin Elson's office. At 1:15 the door was locked, with a note 'the office team is lunching'. At 1:30 I was allowed in with two other patients. Those two and a third were taken into exam areas prior to me. Now it's 2:12p. Three staffers have asked questions, obtained signatures and my completed history form and payment, none have introduced themselves. When another staffer told me to sit down and the doctor would be in shortly I told her I had heard that 15 minutes ago. Her rude response was 'you need to calm down, the doctor has other patients. ' My response was 'thank you' and to write this review.

    Dr Elson looked at the same films and saw a crack in the root of the tooth that was bothering her.

    From the consultation to the actual procedure, the doctor and nurses clearly explained what to…read moreexpect for my 18 year old son's wisdom teeth removal. They were thorough and took x-rays ahead of time, clearly explained the images to us, and educated us about how his roots were not very long, but that if we waited, they could potentially grow longer, and the teeth would be harder to extract. On the day of the procedure, they gave my son anesthesia before numbing his gums with Novacaine which made the procedure nearly painless. They completed the procedure in about a half hour at the most. They kept my son sitting upright in a chair in the recovery room for another half hour before the anesthesia finally wore off and he was able to walk out of there. They made sure that they supplied us with gauze pads, a syringe, clear discharge instructions, etc. Pro tip: check your insurance plan to see how much you have left of your deductible before scheduling your appointment. My son had a few fillings earlier in the year which used up a good portion of his deductible. If you schedule your dental procedures in different calendar years, you will pay less.

    During the first appointment for my wisdom teeth dr. Mo Banki was dismissive to my concerns and…read morejust seemed like he was trying to be "hip" or "cool". I told him I didn't want any hard drugs because I was concerned about addiction and he said "well don't pick them up". This is why people form addictions. I needed a medication for another medical problem I have which this surgery would effect. I told them a total of 3 times, at first appointment, before they attempted to sedate me and before I left. I advocated for myself and was ignored. Surgery day came and he came into the office, put an Iv in my arm with NO GLOVES.He was moving so fast between patients I didn't even see if he washed his hands. They attempted to sedate me and gave up. After making me wait 1 hr past my appointment time they said we had to reschedule because it was past my appointment slot since I didn't get to sleep. The amazing, caring, kind, compassionate Anesthesiologist has nothing to do with this. He's the only one that talked to me when I was clearly scared, stayed with me, and explained things to me. After they failed to sedate me, the dr. said he can do it with local anesthesia. He gave me shots on both sides of my mouth. He immedietly went to pull my tooth and I felt sharp intense pain. I told him to stop and was crying. He got mad at me because he said "look at how much I already gave you I can't just keep giving you novocaine. " He went to another patient and pulled the teeth there and returned. He gave me more on my right side and it ended up working fine. He immedietly went to pull my left side and I flinched in pain and was bawling my eyes out at this point. THE LEFT SIDE WASNT NUMB. he used half as much on my left side and didn't even attempt to stop when I was in excruciating pain. Finally both teeth were pulled it was done. He left the room and said I didn't need to be in the recovery room. The anastasiologist stayed by my side. and I asked if I could go home since dr. didn't say anything. we went to front desk to get checked out and found out that nobody gave me after care instructions, new gauze for my mouth, gauze to take home, etc. Overall he is dismissive, terrible bedside manner, rude, and going to be responsible for people's addictions. I'm traumatized by this experience and never experienced something so terribly medically. I hope you do not use these people for surgery.

    This dental office requires too many visits to get things done. If you have a job where you…read morecan't constantly take time off without being docked, this is NOT the dentist for you.

    Artistry dental told me I should pull a bunch of my teeth out (10 of them) and replace then with…read moredentures. I thought that seemed extreme and went to an Oral Surgeon for a 2nd opinion. The oral surgeon looked at my teeth and thought that was "crazy" to just pull all those teeth and said it wasn't necessary he came up with another plan where only 1 tooth would get pulled. I wouldn't trust any of their work. They don't want to save people's teeth. *update 09/7/21* The Oral surgeon told me to let them do the deep clean since they take my insurance. I scheduled the deep clean with them and they canceled it without telling me. I called today since I didn't get an appointment reminder and they said that I "never had an appointment"... I have the appointment cards they gave me though... This place needs to get their act together. They don't seem to care about anyone. If I had other options in the area I wouldnt go here at all. *update 09/8/21* Just got a call minutes ago from Artistry Dental Canceling the new appointment for this Thursday I made. They told me because of THIS review they are refusing to service me... (mind you no one else takes my insurance in the area which is why I had o go here in the first place) They said they canceled my 2 deep clean appointments because of my review about them trying to pull all my teeth out. Which was honest. Now they called me saying right now! because I left THIS review, and that I will no longer be allowed to go there for treatment. They said that Google notified them of a negative review and because of that I will not they won't be seeing me anymore. They didn't try and repair the DR Paitent relationship, they just said negative review no care for you. They will deny you dental care because of an online review. An honest online review. They are really sick. BTW my insurance is Tricare because I am an active duty military spouse.
