As a former employee of Dr. Talbert, please DO NOT GO HERE for dental treatment. He does not care about your teeth or well being at all. My time working there was short but I quit due to worrying about working for him being a liability on me.
He does root canals in two part, so that he can bill the insurance. He doesn't care if it's done properly, he has his dental assistants do most the root canals which is not permitted for Dental Assistants to do. Almost every patient that had any dental work with him would come back with pain and infection. He does not take x rays to verify work being done properly either and rarely x rays on people coming in for aches and infections. He has his assistants also cement permanent crowns which is illegal. Every day patients were coming in with crowns and bridges that had come out with tooth structure broken off inside the crown. He wouldn't even look at it, just tell me to cement it back in, even with decay and perio disease. I started taking photos to prove what was happening. I really decided to quit after an 8 year old girl had rotten teeth after two years of going to Dr. Talbert. The mother was very alarmed because she took her to all her routine check ups. When I looked there where no x rays for the 8 year old over two years. So how was he diagnosing? He wasn't, he does that with all his patients. He needs to be investigated for insurance fraud and also writing scripts for percs and lortabs religiously, especially to the people that have been going to him for years. Please do not go to this man for your teeth health! read more
