My husband and I stay in Stuttgart aria, and we do not have here any American doctors and dentists (except on post). So, in "Stripes" magazine we saw a commercial about Ramstein Dental Care Clinic and decided to make appointment with them. I do need some Implants and teeth corrections, and I had great experience back in America with dentists. Therefore, I will not mention how we drove to Ramstein with all this traffic, and how we wore frustrated with it. When we arrived to clinic, stuff on reception was very friendly and helpful with paperwork. Dental assistant invited us to room and prepared me for doctor consultation. She said that we have 30 minutes for all questions and doctor will be there soon. Dr. Gressell late 20 minutes and stated that he one of the best in this aria and he knows everything because he has a lot of education and experience. He looked and my panoramic X-ray and quickly said what he wants to do, for example pool out about six teeth and put implants there. I asked why he does not keep those teeth, he changes subject immediately. Our entire visit (about 10 mins), he showed that he has no time to waist.
He was all that and could do everything, obviously not. Here's a hint, If a patient questions what they are going to pay 25,000 euro for, the doctor's response should not be "TRUST ME" and "don't question me!" Implants surgery is very series and complicated, that is why doctor supposed to explain things to patient and make a surgery strategy.
Dr. Gressel was completely unprofessional and arrogant!
We already decided on the way out the door not to let him touch my teeth. In a few days, I received E-mail from clinic and they said: "Dr Gressell has reviewed his notes from
this appointment and has decided your required treatment is too complex for a general dentist. He suggests you to be seen by an implant specialist for further consultation." "Trust me" and "don't question me!" Are you kidding?
Thanks for wasting my time. Worst 41 euro I ever spent for an idiot's advice.
He can expect a bad review on every website I can put it.
P.S. To further add insult to injury, and attempt to appease the situation they refunded my doctors visit charge. Unfortunately, I believe this was only to save face and avoid receiving a bad review. This refund does not change my impression or opinion of Dr. Gressell at the Ramstein clinic. I would not recommend being a customer in this clinic! Better to try local dentists who do care about their licenses and their patients.
