I was a patient of Dr. William Lavigna. It was a terrible experience each time I had an appointment. He was always running extremely late. No apologies or anything. He had a horrible chairside manor. He was very arrogant. On almost each occasion he would snap and yell at an assistant or office worker. One time he became violent and threw an instrument against the wall and it almost came back and hit me. Lavigna acted as if nothing happened. The appointments with Dr. Lavigna made me very nervous and I was stressed going in there. It is bad enough going to the dentist, but his demeanor made it even worse. He needs to see someone because his violent behavior is not only unprofessional but indicative of an unstable personality. I would never return to Lavigna DDS.
I have since been to another dentist. He is wonderful. He has a very pleasant personality and is calming and skilled. It is a pleasure going to the dentist now.
