out of Read Reviews for Dr. Steven Jaksha
A friend referred me to Dr. Jaksha. His office was close to my house. His office is nice and the staff and Dr. Jaksha is very nice with a good sense of humor. I went in for a cleaning and he told me that flossing was overrated and to get the water pik. I never heard a dentist that tells you not to floss. At the same time they took x-rays and told me I had 4 silver fillings that needed to be changed out. Even though I wasn't having any problems with the fillings, I followed his recommendations and had him replace the fillings. One of the fillings was not done right and food was constantly getting caught in the tooth. I went back he tried to fix it, but nothing changed. Then he told me I needed a root canal done on the tooth. I was capped out of what the insurance company would pay for the year, so I told him I would have to wait. In the meantime I went to another dentist from a groupon I purchased and this dentist told me I had 4 fillings that needed to be changed out. I also asked the dentist if I needed a root canal like Steven Jaksha had recommended and he told me NO, but the tooth contact was done incorrectly and that's why food was getting caught in between the teeth. I was soooo confused and told the dentist this was impossible because I had just had 4 fillings done a few weeks earlier. He gave me the xray results and I took them back to Dr. Jaksha's office and he confirmed that what the 2nd dentist told me was correct. When I asked him about what he did a few weeks earlier, he told me he only did the filling on half of each tooth because he didn't want to compromise the tooth by taking out the entire filling. I've never heard of anything so ridiculous.
I told Dr. Jaksha that I had loss confidence and wanted a refund. He did not refund the insurance company but credited my account $300, which is what the insurance company did not pay.
