This review is based on my personal first hand experience with the Dental practice and/or office of…read moreAdvanced Cosmetic Dentistry.
My personal experience with this dentist office has been one that I'll never forget. I'll also never suggest this dental practice to anyone I know due to my personal first hand experiences.
I had previously been a patient at Advanced Cosmetic Dentistry. Unfortunately, I again needed work done on two separate teeth, one that Dr. Peterson had previously worked on and another that required more immediate medically based attention, etc...
Simply stated, after an initial appointment was made, a medical treatment plan was set into motion. I then returned for my prearranged appointment. During the follow-up appointment, the wrong tooth was repaired, and I was sent home with an apology from Dr. Peterson, with the promise of a quick repair on the tooth that was not repaired, etc etc...
During further discussions with Dr. Peterson's office about the wrong tooth being repaired, the incident was blamed on a, "Communication miscommunication issue".
Ultimately, I decided to give this dental practice anther opportunity to repair the original tooth, and follow-through on the repair work they had already started. As such, I made several phone calls to the dental office regarding my medical affairs. During one of these discussions, an employee of Dr. Peterson willingly and openly divulged and/or admitted that they had been recording our telephone conversations regarding my medical affairs.
Since the employees admission possibly violated my HIPAA rights, I obviously reached out to the Utah State Health Department, and Dr. Peterson directly, etc...
During this process, I returned to Dr. Peterson's office for another consultation (in person) to discuss the events that had transpired with the employee and to address my untreated tooth, etc...
During this appointment, once Dr. Peterson learned that I had spoken to the Heath Department, I was then told by Dr. Peterson directly, "Any further medical treatment at his facility was contingent on weather I continued, or discontinued speaking to the Health Department about his employees actions".
In other words, in short, this dental provider has literally tried to silence me from speaking with the Utah State Health Department regarding the actions of his employee by withholding further medical treatment, etc...
Now I'm stuck with the most horrible dental experience I've ever had to deal with in my life time. I've literally been left with a deteriorating temporary tooth needing a crown, while the original tooth has still remained damaged and untreated for months due to what they have described as a "Communication miscommunication issue".
Simply put, due to the situation I'm now having to seek out the services of an oral surgeon to review the dental work that was done. I'm also stuck in the position of having to locate another professional dental specialist to finish the uncompleted dental work and/or uncompleted repairs, in addition to completing the required forms for the proper Utah State agencies.
Again, this review is based off my personal experiences with this dental provider... As such, I simply will not, and cannot recommend this dental provider's services, etc...
