I am disgusted with the lack of ethics shown by this dentist. My wife was told she should have her wisdom teeth removed; X-rays were taken. Dr. Eric Larson removed three of them and then called me to tell me I need to take my wife to an oral surgeon to get the last one removed. I recently looked at the X-ray with Dr. Eric Larson. He agreed that it was evident on the x-ray that the tooth he didn't remove was problematic. When I asked him why he didn't try to remove that one first, he said he "went after the easy ones first." I pointed out that if he had tried first to remove the one that he knew beforehand was going to be difficult, I wouldn't have had to drive my wife to the oral surgeon with three gaping, bleeding holes in her mouth. His response was, "Well, that's what happened." There was no apology, no consideration that he might consider a different course of action in the future. Just, "Well, that's what happened." I realize that had Dr. Eric Larson tried to remove the difficult tooth first, he wouldn't have been able to charge as much money. I am not saying that was why he chose the course of action he took, but neither I nor my family will use his services in the future.

About Hygienist: Diana is wonderful! I always felt that she paid extra attention to both me and my son; she wasn't just going through the motions. I will miss her very much.

I know this doctor: several years
