I had an extremely unpleasant and stressful experience with Dr Yen at Mayfair Dental Clinic. Dental visits cause me anxiety at the best of time, and due to his actions, my anxiety has significantly increased. In my opinion, he has no patience, empathy or understanding for patients with questions or concerns, or may be nervous, and should not be working with patients. He did not provide me with the information to make an informed decision for an urgent procedure. Following my panic attack at the dental office (for which I was left in the waiting room while having the panic attack around other patients, and told "You will be fine" when I clearly was not), I was referred to a oral surgeon. The oral surgeon advised the procedure was complicated and should not have been attempted at the dental office. The potential complications were clear to the oral surgeon, as he took the time to actually fully examine the x-rays and explain the procedure to me, including the potential issues. I am terrified to even think of what would have happened if the procedure had been attempted at the dental office. Not only were the actions of Dr Yen unacceptable, I was left feeling embarrassed and humiliated as the staff did not offer me any privacy while I was having the panic attack.
I provided the dental office with an email describing my distressing experience and how it has affected me. The office has had several business days in which to acknowledge or respond; however, I have not received any acknowledgement. This reflects poorly on Dr. Yen and the entire dental office. Based on my opinion and personal experience, I will encourage everyone - current or potential patients - to look elsewhere for their dental care. The entire disastrous experience and lack of acknowledgement of my concerns has left me with an opinion of little confidence in Dr. Yen and Mayfair Dental Clinic, and served to significantly increase my dental anxiety. If you value your dental health and safety, my opinion is to avoid Dr. Yen in particular, and Mayfair Dental in general if this practice is their standard of care. read more
