I received treatment for a pocket in February 2004. The pocket re appeared per my dentist in January 2009. Dr. Werkmeister decided to put me on periodontal maintenance rather than re do the procedure. I went back to my dentist in March 2009 as the pocket was bothering me. He confirmed that the pocket was bleeding on probing with possible subgingival calculus present. Per my request, my dentist called Dr. Werkmeister and suggested he see me for surgical evaluation. Only after all this did I receive the surgical treatment again. I was not mad at the fact that the surgery had to be re done, but I was very disturbed by Dr. Werkmeister basically putting me on the back burner. Furthermore, when I ask for my records in writing he flat out lied and mentioned in the records that I refused one treatment over another and I have no idea what the other option is to this day. He also would not copy the record the day I requested them; he told me I could receive them on my next visit. I am very un-impressed with this practice and would not recommend it to anyone!
