This dentist was so rude, belittling and condescending that I walked out of my first appointment without finishing. It takes a lot for me to do that, but after the 5th insult, I was done. The guy at the reception desk who answers the phone was also very rude over the phone. In person he was a little more pleasant but he had a really bad cough and was coughing all over my paperwork and insurance card. I had my baby with me and he originally wanted me to park my stroller in another exam room....are you kidding??? Anyway the dentist came in and when I turned to look back at the stroller he said, "I'm sure whatever you're hiding in there is fine, you need to focus your attention on me now." Can you believe it??? He asked me what problems I was having with my teeth. As I started to answer, he interupted me with a finger to the mouth "shushing" motion and putting his other hand on my shoulder and then proceeded to ridicule me seperately for having my wisdom tooth pulled, having mercury fillings and basically anything that I told him I had done in my mouth was wrong. He said that today I was going to learn what is really going on in my mouth. He asked, "Why did you have your wisdom tooth pulled?" I said, because my dentist told me I had to, it was impacted. He said if your doctor told you to get a hysterectomy would you just do it? You need 18 fillings, do you believe me? You need to be a big girl now (I'm 37) and be responsible and educate yourself." All the while he's smirking and looking up to the ceiling. After every single question he asked me he would condemn my answer. He was so condescending after I had asked if the bond he suggested would hold my tooth together permanently that I said, "I'm just asking you a question." I finally had enough and stood up and said, "I'm leaving." In the most taunting way, he said, "Best of luck to you dear!" I was so angry, but held my composure. All I said was, "You're very rude," as I walked out. Something tells me that I'm probably not the first patient to walk out on him. This is not a human being that should be interacting with others. He should consider working solo on a submarine that has no dock.
