I had the worst experience with this dentist. He performed re-treatment of a root canal. While knowing that the tooth was infected he sealed it immediately instead of proper treatment. It swelled next day. When I called his office and told about the problem, his office manager (!!) advised on the phone to wash my mouth with hot solution of salt -- no invitation to the office for a check-up. It got much worse over night. I went to his office next day: he insisted there was no mucus and advised to continue hot mouth wash and antibiotics intake. I had fever at 38.5 that night and the swell got even worse. On the third day I went to his office again, with f ever -- and he again claimed there was no mucus and urged to continue with the treatment. After I left his office I felt so sick that my husband and myself had to seek an emergency assistance whit another dental office on the eve of the Thanksgiving. The other dentist immediately diagnosed a severe inflammation with mucus deposit and had to perform a minor surgery to let the mucus out. I was also advised that hot mouth wash was categorically prohibited as it fueled the inflammation. Only after the intervention by another doctor the situation stabilized and healing started.

I know this doctor: one month
