I had an infected cracked tooth removed and although the procedure itself went better than I expected, his chair side manners were uncalled for. I have anxiety and expressed this both on the paperwork and to him. The numbing meds made my heart race and I got shaky. There were other meds without this side effect available. He was totally unsympathetic and said no when I wanted to take a few minutes from procedure to catch my breath. He then went on to tell me he was mad that he had taken me as his patient. He even rudely said that I should have gone somewhere else if I didn't prefer general sedation. There are so many other options to get a patient to relax than to put them to sleep. A kind word and some patience would have been suffice. When he walked out without even giving me any post procedure advice his staff apologized that he acted that way because it was seven o'clock at night. A doctor should be able to keep his professionalism despite long hours and difficult procedures. The kind receptionist gave me the advice I needed .
I would only recommend him to someone who has nerves of steel and a high tolerance for rudeness. He was fortunate that I am a forgiving christian in addition to being an attorney .
out of 5 stars
