Today I had an appt with Dr Molloy for a new patient and X-rays. Another appointment for a prophy was scheduled for a later date. After the x-rays were taken, the doctor actually came over and was going to perform a prophy, which I was unaware of. I explain to the hygienist and the doctor that I have issues with laying flat. I will get Vertigo which will last at least 3 weeks and I can't drive for fear I will get into an accident. I'm already walking in a boot for a medical condition.
His response was that there was no way that he or the hygienist could do it with me lying flat . At that point I said to him and not in a nasty way that I guess I'm gonna have to find another dentist.
He didn't say anything he pushed his chair back and walked out .
Can a dental provider actually refuse to treat a person if they have vertigo .
Somethings not right with that .
Anyway, I just want to warn everyone else that they don't waste your Time by going to see this dentist if they have a medical condition . I was very disappointed with the lack of professionalism that was shown to me. read more
