Dr Sordelli was recommended to me by the dentist I was using at the time. I had an accident that cost me 3 teeth when I was 16. After taking x-ray and CT scans, he determined that I had enough bone necessary to insert implants without use of bone grafts. After he began surgery, he saw that the actual bone in my mouth was not enough to properly place implants but for reasons still unclear to me, he placed the implants in (not using the surgical guide) at a deep angle. I knew something was off during surgery because my appointment was running well over an hour than I was told, Sordelli was acting anxiously when I incomprehensibly asked if everything ok, and I was bleeding excessively and feeling highly uncomfortable as numbing shots had worn off (he gave me more when he realized this). Implants are difficult to remove once placed (most docs recommend against this) but these implants were placed so poorly, they had to be removed. On top of all this, Sordelli was thoroughly hesitant to refund my money. Thankfully he finally did with advice from the dentist that had recommended him. I ended up paying for the removal, bone graft, and finally, a second implant surgery which was performed perfectly by a doctor in Los Angeles (Homa Zadeh).
