CHEMICALLY BURNED!!!!
I have always loved the dentist, I…read morewent to Dental school, I've had most of my teeth, surgically extracted when they were loose as a kid because I love the dentist so much. This is in fact, the worst dental office I've ever been to, I don't know if it's because it's a chain, probably so, but I definitely won't be going back. My first experience was a cleaning and general exam, a typical exam, X-rays were taken, health history/concers discussed, followed by the cleaning. Everybody here seems as though they hate their job, nobody smiling at you. Nobody's telling you to have a good day or asking how your day has been, just seems like nobody really wants to be there . I have never had cavities, but I guess there's a first for everything. My follow up appointment was booked about a week later which I went in for, for someone who has never had a filling I did opt in for nitrous gas, I was told it was only a $10 extra charge just for it to be an extra $50 charge. I then had also asked for a whitening to be done, I assumed from my previous schooling that this is going to be an in office medical grade teeth whitening session, that was not the case! I was fitted essentially with a rubber Invisalign tray and given a syringe full of at home teeth whitener that could be purchased off the shelf at Walmart. Which, if you ask me being that they say teeth whitening on their website, I personally feel if it's not being done by the dentist then that's just false advertisement, but whatever. My biggest issue is that during my exam I was chemically burned! The dentist performing the exam didn't seem to be all that concerned, he did end the session only after I asked that we stop because I could no longer continue because it was burning so badly. No report was done. No photos were taken, no evidence collected whatsoever that I was harmed on their property. I left immediately went to Care Now, was informed that I was in fact chemically burned. They treated me, and sent me on my way. Did I get a phone call or a follow up from Mint asking how I'm doing; checking in on a patient that was injured in their clinic? Absolutely not! They didn't care one bit. 8 people in the office not a single one! Being that I had already paid for my services I reluctantly did go back to have the glue from past braces removed. The dentist this time was different. She on the other hand was fantastic!Unfortunately, I did not get her name, but her customer service skills and her concern for her patient is the only reason this review has two stars instead of one, and although she is a great dentist and has fantastic bedside manners it seems as though she's the only one who enjoys her job. Not only am I not coming back, neither are my peers. Do better!
