I had a very bad experience w/ Dr Tatakis. I had an older crown replaced and 2 new crowns. The procedure went smoothly enough - but afterward I experienced a constant ache and nerve throbbing - I was (and still am) unable to chew on that side and cannot eat or drink anything above room temperature or the throbbing really increases.Of course I told Dr Tatakis and her staff about this and was assured it would "resolve over time" that it was the initial trauma to the area and it would go away. I was told in order to find out the cause I would have to have it all redone again - at my expense of course - no reduction of fee or even a pmnt plan available. I have had several different dental procedures over the years (impacted wisdom teeth, dental implants and crowns and I have a farily high threshold for pain as well) but my complaints were dismissed as not relevant. As I no longer have dental insurance this is a hardship. And, not to mention, I have to take approximately 800 to 1000 milligrams of ibuprofen every day - not good. My advice - seek treatment elsewhere. I was foolish and simply went with a provider who took my insurance.
out of 5 stars
