I had only been to see Maryam Adibfar twice, and both times I had major issues following. On the first occasion, she was very rough and rushed to do a filling. She did not finish it correctly and left one tooth not filed correctly and I could therefore not close my mouth the next day. This resulted in me having to take another day off of work to have an emergency corrective dental session.
After this first event I had politely asked the dental surgeries receptionist to please ask Maryam Adibfar if she could be more gentle and thorough during my next visit. However, after my second visit where I had had my fillings done, I subsequently had terrible pain. She said this was normal since the filling was deep and advised me the pain would subside. It did not! I called 2 weeks later, still in pain. She then advised me to take advil every 4 hours until the pain went away. This never occurred and in fact worsened. I continued to take the advil for TWO further weeks under her instruction which resulted in severe stomach pains. After doing my own research I discovered continued use of advil can have this effect and seriously damage your stomach lining.
As my pain worsened I decided to call again and arrange another appointment. Knowing how much pain I was in, Maryam Adibfar still proceeded to try and tap my tooth with a metal wand instead of doing an xray to see if there has been nerve damage. This final visit resulted in her referring me to a specialist for root canal treatment. Not only did I pay over $400 for the filling she made a mess of, I now have to pay a specialist a further $1500.
I fully understand issues may arise in the field of dentistry, however every single experience I have had with Maryam Adibfar has been negative. She was rough, left me in pain, did sub-par jobs, offered incorrect and dangerous advice around pain management, and charged me a small fortune for the pleasure!!
I will never see her again, as a dentist she lives up to every negative stereotype the profession holds. read more
