He is a sham, a con-man. I went to him primarily because I have these large inflamed areas of…read moretissue (think skin tags) that I assume rests between the sides of my teeth. When they get incredibly inflamed, the pain is horrific.
When I visited Dr. Cecere, he initially was nice and suggested that I may have Shogren's syndrome after looking at the skin tissue tags and wanted to take a piece of flesh out of my jaw (not the skin tag, mind you, but the side of where my jaw and upper chin meet) to confirm this through testing. I thought it was weird that he took tissue from that area but assumed he knew what he was doing since he's the doctor.
On the day of the operation, my mom took me and the office said it would take no more than an hour for Cecere to be done. I came out of the office in worse shape than I went in - I had a huge gaping hole in the side of my interior cheek where he took the tissue and the pain was excruciating. Also, I continually vomited on the way home, which I have never done after any office procedure before. My mom was so angry and disturbed that she called his office repeatedly, who kept giving excuses about the vomiting and they this hadn't happened to any other patients. I vomited after leaving the office, to the pharmacy, in the car ride home, and finally, when I got home again.
When I went back to Cecere's office, I asked him about how the Shogren's syndrome was affecting my the inflamed flesh in my mouth, and since I still have them, what was going to be done about it. I kid you not when I say Cecere laughed, told me I didn't have shoegren's syndrome, and very flippantly stated, "oh, those are just like nipples, there's nothing that can be done about them. Just take some Tylenol". My mouth dropped from his total lack of empathy, and moreso, his willingness to perform a surgery on me that was completely unnecessary. Why didn't he tell me this issue could be handled with tyneol at home rather than suggest it was disease that needed to be confirmed with taking a sample of tissue? Because he's an outdated, sham - simple, a trash person hiding behind his credentials. It was bad practice all the way around, and in my opinion, he shouldn't even be allowed to practice. I wouldn't even give him a 1 star rating. He is a terrible excuse for a human being, adheres to no ethics as a doctor, and doesn't need to be operating on people.
And if you think my review is full of crap or question it, please look him on on the state website for oral surgeons and dentists - he has a former complaint from another patient where did something similar to this person and he was sanctioned for his actions. How he is business still, I don't even know. Please, please, please do NOT go to this con-man for any services. He doesn't care about your body or problems - he only cares about making money at the expense.l of your body.
