This review is for Dr. Lovely ONLY. Dr Prout I only saw briefly and was very nice and professional.
I went to see Dr. Lovely for a cracked tooth and after he was done I had a horrible bruise on my cheek. He was extremely rough. He then told me I needed 3 crowns, 2 fillings and had gingivitis. I was shocked as I had no other signs or problems with any of the teeth he mentioned.
This is a complicated story so to condense it, Since I didn't feel comfortable with him and his diagnosis I went to my regular dentist for a 2nd opinion. ( I ONLY stopped going to her because my finances had changed and she does not take dental insurance) and Dr. "NOT SO" Lovely does. (I now see why)
My regular dentist said I did NOT need ANY crowns, fillings, nor did I have gingivitis!!
In addition she told me that the tooth was beyond repair and needed to be pulled which Dr. Lovely contradicted. Even though I lost a tooth it was much better than the alternative.
I called the office and asked for a partial refund on the crown which they had required for me to pay UP FRONT before the work was even done. And Dr. Lovely went off on me and basically said it was ALL MY FAULT??? I pointed out to him that dentistry was not my profession and I relied on him the "SO-CALLED" professional to advise me.
I repeatedly called with no -response from Dr. Lovely. The receptionist even told me that I would have much better luck with Dr. Prout ( which I did)
SO after all the trauma Dr. lovely sent me a PERSONAL NOTE.(remember he never gave me the courtesy of a return call.) and said I would need to find another DDS. as he would not be treating me any more. I have been told by several people that I FOR SURE have a case against him. (Again the story is longer and more detailed I just condensed it for space.) I just want to move on from this nightmare and put this behind me.
This Dentist if you want to call him that is an UN-CARING monster who just has an eye on the pay out. He was harsh,rude and callous.
DO NOT GO TO THIS DENTIST!
