Instead of local anesthesia, I was sedated with an overdosage of Triazolam (0.75 mg). Against all dental guidelines, Dr. Carrigan released me right away after the surgery without any recovery period, even though he knew I am on blood thinning therapy for many years. It took three people to carry me to my car. I was completely unconscious for more than ten hours after the surgery, putting my life at risk.
He did not call my family or me at all to check on my condition after he released me.
On the follow up appointment, I requested a response to several issues. What I needed was an apology for his neglect. He screamed and shouted at me. He suggested that I go to another dentist to complete my implant procedure, which I did.
Dr. Carrigan only did the first phase, implanting the titanium bases into my gums, none of the subsequent procedures were performed in his office. He still insists that I pay the whole bill. I offered many times to settle the issue peacefully but he refused and turned my bill over to a collection agency in Jan .this year.
My family and I are so upset and disappointed by Dr. Corrigan’s treatment experience. The mental stress and anguish have bothered me the entire past year.
The reason I rated this u
out of 5 stars
