Fahey took over for her husband who had made a crown. She greeted me like a pit bull.In a word, she was ferocious - despite the fact that I had been a patient in good standing for years.Her husband and partner made a crown which was not yet properly fitted.He quoted me a price of over $1000.Having had several crowns made by various other dentists over many years,the price of the crown ALWAYS includes fittings necessary to fit the crown properly.Yet every subsequent fitting resulted in a charge for a full office-visit.Therefore,their own substandard work is thus an opportunity to charge more money.Clearly they are motivated by greed rather than quality.Fahey is unique in my 50+ year experience with dental care.Each time I returned, their own testing showed additional adjustments were required.This was no matter of a nagging patient taking up needless time.Had she not adjusted this properly it would have thrown out my bite resulting in tooth loss.Further, Fahey proceeded to angrily "yank" a bite plate out of my mouth, ripping it into pieces. She GLARED at me and dared me to say that SHE was responsible for breaking it!She even balked at a discount for a replacement plate!The plate required fittings due to their changes to the crown.

About Front Desk: The front desk staff was disorganized and outrageous. One woman actually ran after me down the street while screaming at me that I was no longer welcome at Fahey's office when I refused to pay for additional adjustments. She was obviously experienced in her well-practised routine but came across as nothing less than a camp vision out of a John Water's B movie. By the way the office and exam areas are filthy beyond description and the excuse of the 2005 hurricane is quite tired in 2013/14.
