To start, if I could give zero stars, I would. My wife was scheduled to have 3 wisdom teeth removed. During the procedure, she was given anesthesia that DID NOT work properly. SHE FELT EVERYTHING! I heard her crying loudly from the waiting room, mid-procedure. When I confronted the doctor about the crying, he said that is how some people react to when their coming off of anesthesia. However, that was 10 MINUTES before he came out to tell me that she was finished. Which means, he knew she was in pain, and LIED to me about it. The nurse who was in the room was rude to both me and my wife after the procedure, indicating that she would NOT remember what was discussed, and that she DID NOT feel anything. Yet, she was able to recant everything to me afterwards, and sure as ever FELT the PAIN during the procedure. When she went back to the doctor, and told him everything, he said that he would NOT refund our money that we spent on anesthesia (over $1000), because she signed off on a line that stated she might feel pain. May feel pain? Maybe that should be more clearly stated to patients before the doctor starts, because she was nervous and riddled with anxiety. She was also immobilized from the anesthesia, so she could not voice it.
