    He (and his receptionist!) is great with kids and a true intellectual.

    Meyers-Folsom Dental Clinic - Taken near the beginning of my panic, while I'm the dentist chair.

    Meyers-Folsom Dental Clinic

    i reached out to this dental office because it had good Google reviews. Shortly after meeting with…read moreDr. Meyers I began having sharp pains in my jaw, radiating out to my teeth and ear. I went in to see him again and asked what could be done. He said I had an abscess under an old root canal and the jaw pain was TMJ. He said that the antibiotic he was going to give me would have me feeling much better in a couple of days. As for the TMJ, I was told to get a mouth guard to wear at night, put heat on the jaw, massage the jaw and take Tylenol for the pain. I requested he give me something stronger for the pain since Tylenol doesn't do much for me. He reluctantly gave me a Rx for 8 tablets of Tylenol #3 which has codeine in it. This worked quite well at relieving the pain and I also expected relief when I had taken enough of the antibiotic. 5 days later the pain was not any better. I still had sharp pains radiating from my jaw to my ear with no relief using the heat or massage. and I was now out of the Tylenol #3. I could barely open my mouth and chewing anything was excruciating! I called into the office to ask what I should do and was told to use heat on the jaw, and take Tylenol for the pain. They said they would refer me to a physical therapist who specializes in TMJ to help with the pain. The next day I called to see if I could get a refill of the Tylenol #3 because the pain was so bad. They told me that they did not want to give me another prescription because it would just "mask the symptoms". Yes, that's what I wanted! Something to mask the symptoms of pain shooting through my right jaw! They said the only thing they could do was suggest heat, Tylenol , a mouth guard and to go to the physical therapist they referred me to. When I said that the physical therapist had not called me yet, they told me they were closed that day and perhaps they would get in touch with me the following day. So, even though I am doing everything they are telling me to do to get the problem under control (my mouth guard was on order and expected within the week), I had to live with this pain because they didn't want to give me another prescription for the Tylenol #3. I couldn't believe it. They would rather I deal with this pain until I could get my mouth guard and see a PT than give me the prescription. The first time I got the prescription, Dr. Meyers made references to how dangerous opioids were and seemed so hesitant to give me the prescription. I'm a 64 year old woman who has had pain medication prescribed to me for decades while never abusing it or becoming addicted to it. I couldn't believe that this doctor would withhold something from me that would relieve my pain until other means to relieve it became available. I was asking for 8 pills! Not 48. Just enough to get by until I could get in to see their PT and start wearing my mouth guard. It was truly unbelievable that a healthcare professional would treat a patient like this. Let me just say that if you have any dental pain at all for any reason I would NEVER go to this doctor because he would rather you suffer than give you pain medication that could help you. Honestly, I have never been treated so poorly by a healthcare professional in all my life. You've been warned... P.S. I would like to give them more stars because the dental staff was very efficient and helpful but I was too offended by Dr. Meyers' actions to consider the other members of his team.

    I have gone to other dentists in town, and out, but I can't find a better dentist or staff…read moreanywhere. They are so good, that since I have moved over 2 hours away, I will find time in my schedule to come back to Clarkston for my appts. for cleanings and dental work. Dr. Folsom is a great dentist who takes pride is his work and ability to inform. He, and all the other staff, have always treated me with kindness and respect. They all make you feel like you're part of their family. I will continue to go there as long as I'm able. Thank you, Dr. Folsom and staff for the excellent service.
