To keep this as succinct as possible, I had dental care with Dr. Sitnik for about 5 months in 2025. The goal was a crown replacement that had chipped. Upon review, he recommended a second crown next to it. They scheduled to have both teeth prepared for temporary crowns. After that appointment, they abruptly canceled the crown installation in 2 weeks, as the office was closing for vacation and extended the appointment to one month. With this appointment, Dr. Sitnik had his assistants put the crowns in. They did not clean for any debris. Upon relaying to Dr. Sitnik later, he said that cleaning is not necessary, as the mouth is full of bacteria.
He also offered botox for bruxism. With the first injection, I was pleasantly surprised having relief, but it was short-lived. I was told injections had to be spaced out every 3 months. With the second injection, Dr. Sitnik spilled some portion of the botox on my cheek and wiped it off. He charged me the full price. With this, I noticed no relief. I relayed to him, and he said it was like a pain reliever that did not work this time, so I should try it again. I asked him later for a copy of my informed consent for botox, and he left me message that it was "given verbally and documented."
With the second crowned tooth, my retainer no longer fit. When speaking with an assistant, she said that they could fix it. So, when I brought it in, they said they could not, and suggested I go back to my previous dentist to have them make a new one. With the botox not working, my jaw had a reaction with a bottom tooth hitting into my top tooth next to the new crown, and it has had pain to pressure, sensitivity to cold and hot, and a ridge consistently since that time. When I brought it to Dr. Sitnik's attention, he said the damage was "minimal," and to "give it time." I continue to use Sensodyne, and getting it checked from another dentist elsewhere.
His receptionist offered to have my records faxed to my new dentist, and I asked for them to sent to me. Dr. Sitnik refused, citing privacy practices that need encrypted. With so many positive reviews, I am shocked at the poor service received by Dr. Sitnik. read more
