I went in for a first time appointment which included full x-rays, a consultation with the dentist, and a cleaning. The appointment lasted 1 1/2 hours!\r
\r
After the x-ray guy was done, he left without telling me. I looked over to see he was with another patient.\r
\r
Then the dentist came in. She was all business and very unfriendly. She asked me what age was my child. I smiled and said 2.5. She snapped out, That's such a horrible age!\r
\r
During the exam, she barked at me to open wider. She told me to bite down on this instrument ? didn?t tell me why - I had to ask. When I bit down after she told me to bite, she yelled ""No, ONLY bite when I TELL you!"" \r
\r
After the exam ended, she didn't go into any detail. I had to ask her basic questions about receding gums. She sternly said, ""I don't know, I'm not an expert. I give you referral."" Which she NEVER did. \r
\r
Then I got the 4 thousand dollar estimate from the business manager. 825 for a filling and crown. After she left, they left me to sit there for 10 minutes or more while I waited for the hygienist.\r
\r
To my horror, the dentist did the cleaning. She didn't use a suction, so I had to swallow the scraped off plaque. This cleaning HURT. It was a gut-wrenching, white knuckle cleaning. \r
\r
After it was done, she left without acknowledgement. I sat there for a while, upset and angry. So I decided to leave, without finishing the flossing + polishing.\r
\r
Then I got out of there. Fortunately, the insurance will cover the cost of the visit. I would NEVER, NEVER, NEVER have this dentist or dental office touch me again. Also, NEVER, EVER, EVER bring a child in to see this bad dentist. You'll give your child a fear of dentists and if you go, you'll develop a fear of dentists too.
Pros: None at all.
Cons: Insensitive, PAINFUL cleaning, RUDE dentist, Treated like a paycheck, bad parking
