Hardy Family Dentistry: Patrick D Mullen, MD

Waited 17 yrs before going back to the dentist due to a bad experience. Dr. James Hardy was patient, caring, & gentle. Had my wisdom tooth out before I even realized a tooth had been pulled. I would recommend him to anyone that is apprehensive about being in the dental chair. more

His marketing brochures make him seem top notch, but his actual work on my mouth didn’t impress me one bit. After rubbing his latex-gloved finger over a rough spot in my mouth, he said it didn’t need anything done to it. When I objected, he reluctantly “filed” the spot down, but even after I told him I couldn’t tell the difference, he said I would get used to it. I didn’t. When I found my new dentist, the first thing he did was to tell me I needed to file that same spot down. He did what Dr. Hardy didn’t, and now I can hardly tell the spot is there. Dr. Hardy also didn’t spend a lot of time with me. His dental assistant seemed to make all the calls, and Dr. Hardy simply came in for a quick look around. His quick look around made me do a quick look around for another dentist--even though I have to drive into Wake Forest for him. more

I really hate having to write a bad review on anyone but when we moved to the area I looked for a new dentist and visited Dr. JAMES G. HARDY a dentist at 122 Jolly Street Louisburg, NC 27549(496-3088) and this was definitely a huge disappointment. This dentist not only over charges, he performs procedures that are not necessary and also does these procedures incorrectly. My son was a victim of his "root canal" that my present dentist had to correct. My present dentist even commented that this was an unnecessary procedure for my son...and I (and my insurance) was way over charged. more
