This was by far the worst dental experience I've ever had! Being a new resident of the Jackson area, I wanted to avoid having to commute to the city to get dental care. As a supporter of people of color, I gave this dentist a chance since he was also from Jackson. As a result of my first visit, I was terrified. X-rays were taken by a young lady who had no idea what she was doing. A young woman who was totally unfamiliar with dental X-rays took my X-rays. Over 30 minutes were spent on X-rays. Assuming she was new to the profession, I was very patient with her and endured the torture. After that, the hygienist entered. The time it took her to clean my teeth was less than five minutes. There is no flossing, nothing! Afterwards, the dentist himself arrived, who is all about the Benjamins. A broken tooth and a decaying tooth that needed a filling were pointed out by me. After barely looking inside my mouth, he recommended extractions and a filling.
Here we are on the day of the extractions. I met another young lady who prepared me for extractions. I saw the same foolishness in the young lady on day one who had problems with her X-rays. The lady insisted that I need X-rays, which I told her I had already had my first visit. It appears that she was looking at the wrong tab on their portal. Next door, another patient appeared to be experiencing complications. "Jesus wept!" I thought to myself. How did I get into this mess? Another young lady asked what codes meant. In response, the dentist said, "missing tooth." My heart started pounding again. As I prayed, I asked God to keep me safe during this procedure because I think I am dealing with people who are ignorant of the profession.
Upon entering my mouth, the dentist looked at the same tooth we had agreed to fill on my first visit. Considering I was already nervous about the extractions and everything else going on in the building, my response to him seemed harsh. His response, "ma'am, calm down! Just calm down! Excuse me, it is impossible for me to relax with all that is happening right now. Anyway, we had the teeth extracted and another tooth was filled that he had chipped in the process, but did not mention. It will now require me to seek additional dental care elsewhere.
The young lady who prepped me insisted that another X-ray be taken after extractions. In accordance with doctor's instructions, a vest was required to be worn during X-rays as I was pregnant. The idiot had to be reminded that I needed a vest. Despite her apparent irritation, I did not care that she had to get one. Protecting myself and my child was my top priority.
Even if this was the last dental office in the area, I STILL WOULD NOT GO!!! I will not be returning and you should also be cautious about coming here yourself! read more
