I've had some teeth extracted from this doctor, upon arriving you are given a questionaire about your past experience, it asks if you have any anxiety issues, I put in big BOLD letters " SEVERE ANXIETY ABOUT NEEDLES " You would think that knowing this, the doctor would be extra patient and careful with someone with this fear, he is NOT. He doesnt take the time to explain things, just throws what he thinks is best at you and basically begins his work with little consult with you. He offers " laughing gas " as a relaxant, however I must say thats a complete JOKE. No relaxation whatesoever, more like pure oxygen and alot of hypervenelating til you feel dizzy. If you tell him your in pain he'll basically tell you your lying and insist theres no way you can be in any pain, ( he's done this to me at least twice during my experiences with him ) he doesnt give proper aftercare either i.e doesnt perscribe proper pain medication nor antibiotics when they're obviously needed after a tooth extraction. Ive had to visit the emergency room after seeing him for pain and he's left some of my other teeth messed up as well. In general he's a smart a** kook of a doctor, If I had another choice to go somewhere else I totally would!!

About Hygienist: His assistants are always very helpful, or as helpful as they can be under a doctors supervision such as him.. :-/

I know this doctor: 2 years
