Northwestern Dental - Dentists Near Me - Winsted, Connecticut

I received a card in the mail to try this place. I had what I think is broken tooth so I called them. The first receptionist was great. She listened to me and told me I had to have an X ray. I told here I did not want one. "Why can't I be examined first to see if they can see what's wrong before they shoot me first with radiation? After all it's a 50/50 thing with X rays...they might not be able to see the crack." She said we could just X ray the single tooth. I figured I could negotiate a "look first to see if you see the crack then X ray it later" approach. SO I scheduled my appointment. Then I received a call back from a woman who had to question me all over again about why I was coming. I told her I didn't want an X ray and then she got all up in my face and was so RUDE...she said, "The tech WILL BE TAKING AN X RAY FIRST THING." WOW.....I am not going to spend my dollars at a place where the staff thinks they can bark out orders about what is going to happen! Didn't she get the memo that X rays are toxic and the radiation builds up in the body so that after having a lifetime of X rays you are playing with dangerous fire....and yes it is true. I think if a patient doesn't want X rays you shouldn't shove it down their throat. So I told her, "I don't like your attitude so I'm canceling." I hung up on her. If you want my business you should listen to what I'm saying. The medical profession is too quick to shoot you with toxic drugs and make you sick. What they are really saying is that they haven't developed their ability to properly be able to read the body and listen to their patients. Oh well they lose. read more
