Lost filling from right canine (which was done by a different dentist.) This dentist took a bunch of x-rays, which was ok, but chose to replace a crown on an upper left molar, which was not an emergency, and to delay replacing the filling I asked for. I accepted this on his advice and he placed a temporary crown on the upper left molar. More than a week passed. The permanent crown apparently had not yet come from the lab and I heard nothing from the dentist. Meanwhile, the upper right canine cavity, which he had delayed trating, became abscessed with painful swelling. When I called I learned that the dentist would be gone for a week. I asked for an antibiotic for the interim. Receptionist called him and returned to me saying that the dentist wanted me to go to a specialist. I refused. Doctor had, however, prescribed an antibiotic. Meanwhile, I had to wait a full week before being treated. I am a nurse. I know shoddy care when I see it. I do NOT recommend this dentist at Lake City smiles.
Cons: Poor care plan
