I had such a traumatic and harrowing experience at this dental office that I Had to post what happened as I feel so strongly that I sincerely hope no one else Ever has to go through such a nitemare.My original post was pulled from this yelp site . I guess because they found Something in it that didnt meet guidelines..I will do my best to recount just the facts concerning what happened and try to leave emotion out of it so as not to offend but Still state the Truth..I am reposting a shortened recount because I feel so strongly about this..People Should Know ..It was back in 2018, I was looking to have my teeth cleaned, an exam afterwards and any treatment if needed..The hygenist suggested a panoramic xray saying it would provide the most info for the dentist..she proceeded to place me in the machine without the lead apron after which I felt Not well over the weekend.. I felt like my head was burning up from the inside..I was seriously debating whether I should return to have a cavity worked on which the scan revealed..I went against my better judgement and came back to have the tooth worked on..I did not want to go thru this again at another office and have to wait for a distant appointment when this one was available, so I said Ok..When I questioned them about not offering a lead apron, they said "we dont use the apron for this scan" I went into the office in a state of Trust, I assumed the hygenist and the dentist knew what they were doing..Obviously it was too much trust and not well placed in hindsight..The dentist that was going to work on me was suppossed to be a 40 plus yr experience veteran..The fellow started working without the proper dental goggles, instead, he was struggling to see with his bifocals and had his face inches from my mouth...he started to inject the novacaine and his assistant corrected him mentioning he was looking at the wrong tooth..He begins the drilling and keeps drilling for what was almost 3hrs in the chair before completion..The work looked really bad and i just wanted out of there.I had such concerns that I went to another dentist and had him examine the work..he said the filling was not properly done, there were gaps where the material meets tooth and that what was a very minor cavity as seen in the before xrays, this was drilled so much that it was on the verge of needing a root canal.
Luckily, this dentist was able to redo the "work" and refilled it properly, in about 45mins.. I complained to the original dentist office in this review and the owner apologized and gave me a refund..That did Not however compensate for the trauma I went thru with Their dentist nor the fact that I had to pay again and go thru the fixing of their work all over again not to mention, being xrayed without protection...I feel that the Practice should have Vetted the guy properly..It was Their Responsibility to have Observed him in action,Listened to the terrible feedback that was coming from his patients and Then Pulled him Earlier so that he would not have left a trail of misery behind him.The sad part is that This place may well be a good practice with good dentists...ILL never know because ill never go there again, but my experience and review may affect Someone Elses choice of this place...To that, i say the owner apologized...the dentist who worked on me was let go that day.Hopefully my speaking up this passionately helped someone else from having to go thru this..In the end, do ur research,check reviews,listen to friends who have actually Used a dentist and can vouch for him or her first hand..Choose carefully,remember you are Entrusting your most Precious possession to another person to do work on and to Know what they are doing so its done Right! I hope this does not get pulled or silenced because I truly am sincerely trying to help others. read more
