out of Read Reviews for Dr. Karl Muzikar
Horrible, horrible, horrible and the WORST experience in my WHOLE life ever! Such a nightmare it was to deal with this doc to restore my dental implant. It took me over 4 months and multiple visits (at least 15 times) to his office for him to figure out why my gum tissue is reacting not in a normal way to the multiple DEFECTIVE healing abutments he tried on me! After all, he took me to an oral surgeon hoping that he could figure out the reason for this issue and the oral surgeon said that the healing abutment is made of a not-pure metal! Later on, I realized that he put in the cheapest not-pure metal in order to save money! Since the pure type of the healing abutment (Zirconia: metal free type) is about one hundred box more expensive than the other types and this is while I have already paid $850 for the healing abutment!! And the Zirconia type is only around $300!!! Such a FRAUD! I am so disappointed at this doc and hope to get the refund and start over with another doc to restore my dental implant. I wish there was a no star option here cuz I don't think this doc deserves even one star!!! Such a shame!!!

dr. muzikar is an excellent dentist.although the cost of denistry is rather high ,he allowed me to pay in installments.the crowns that he put in 7 years ago are doing great and i have the utmost confidence in his abilities.

The positive: People at the facility were nice. However, apart from the very long wait, everything else was extremely rushed. That didn't make me feel so comfortable. Some of the nicities I've received in the past were overlooked. Example: dry weather=chapped lips and not applying any balm causes cracked and bloody lips. I can't say I enjoyed that. I think I did receive what my teeth needed, but it was a number of appointments and something about the facility just, for lack of better term, gave me the willies.

Dr. Muzikar has been my dentist for the past 15 years. The treatments and procedures that Dr. Muzikar has done and recomended have been extremely satisfactory. He takes enough time to explain the treatments and listens to his patients' concerns. My experiences have truly been painless, I have recomended family and friends whom are also happy with Dr. Muzikar's services.

Every problem I have, cavity etc, the most expensive treament is recommened, pretty much everything I've went in for a crown or extraction has been recommended. Never has he said he could just fill the cavity. I now feel I have had treatments I did not require and am thinking about changing dentists.
Also, as the other reviewer had said, the wait is consistantly very long and the doctor seems to jump from patient to patient and the staff is always saying they "are running behind" but it appears they simply always overbook.

Dentist was over an hour late for my first appointment to evaluate a broken crown. No one asked me if I wanted to reschedule. When I saw the dentist, he looked at my teeth for 5 min. and spent 45 talking about his life. Even though I'd only broken a crown, he told me I should replace all my veneers because they are large and ugly.
I soon broke the veneer on my front tooth. I came back to the office and a hygenist glued it back on temporarily. She asked me what kind of glue she should use...like I would know? When she was done, it was SO crooked, but when I complained, the receptionist said a dentist should have done it, like I should have known better. Yet I never saw the dentist.
I asked for a price to replace all the veneers, since I knew it would be thousands. The clerk said she'd call me that day. She didn't. Every day for a week I called and every day she said she'd call me back, but didn't. When she finally did, it cost about $1000 more than she had estimated. What a surprise. Meanwhile, my teeth were hanging off. I gave up and found a new dentist.
