I used Dr. Pollard for several years and thought he was great UNTIL I had a problem. He had already done the major work on my crown and I was just supposed to have the permanent crown glued on. They put me in the chair, gave me Novocain and nitrous and then left me for an hour and a half. During that time the assistant fiddled around with buffing and shaping the crown. When he gave me the shot, I had a searing pain in my jaw, but I just ignored it. When I got home after 2 hours in the chair, the numbness began to wear off and my jaw really HURT. I looked in the mirror and my face was swollen and bruised. I tried to call his office, but only got the recording about hours and it said to leave a message, which I did. This was Thursday night, they were closed on Friday and the weekend so I suffered all weekend and had to take some of my husbands pain medicine. I'm not talking about a little discoloration. My face was back and blue for nearly a month. I even had a woman try to refer me to a counselor for battered women! When I called on Monday, I asked to speak to Dr. Pollard, but he had his assistant call instead. After a couple more attempts to contact him directly I gave up.
