HORRIFIC EXPERIENCE! Was told I have to have 2 cavities needing filling. Told he had to remove 2 fillings to get to the cavities. I told him I wasn't having any problems with my teeth and didn't want them removed. I inquired why and was told to "toughen up." Immediately following the procedure,I experienced severe non-stop toothaches and pain for weeks. I went back & inquired how long to expect this. He sarcastically said, "Ask God!" Never having problems & knowing last cavity/filling was over 26 years ago, I asked if it could be a nerve issue. I asked how to tell. He rudely said, "Because if I said I didn't hit a nerve, I didn't hit a nerve." Several weeks later one filling fell out. Needless to say, I sought care elsewhere & was told by 3 dentists who reviewed my x-rays that this was an unnecessary procedure. Now, 19 months later, I continue to have sensitivity with the 2 teeth. Additionally, the other filling fell out. Prior to this ordeal, I never had a tooth related issue. I have written several letters requesting my money back. This would seem reasonable considering the added expenses I have incurred. I have not had the courtesy of a return call to discuss. Save yourself the toothache, go to another dentist!!

Horrible!!!!! Had a root canal done and he left the file in my root canal without cleaning it properly!!!!! And was aware that I am allergic to metal!!! Asked him to fix it and he wouldn't!!! He didn't see how that would be bad to have that in there!!!! Are you kidding me!!! Don't ever go to this guy!!! Now I will have to go to a dentist who does endodonics for a couple of thousand of dollars! Don't ever go here!!!

I went to this office because I broke a tooth. I am a seasonal resident in MI. Dr. Farage agreed to see me without pressuring me to have xrays and a cleaning because I just had that done in May. The staff was friendly and made me feel welcome. Dr. Farage and Sherry did most of the work and were lively and talkative which made the visit go by quickly and helped me through the discomfort. I felt very little pain at this office as opposed to other office I have visited. I have more work to be done so I will be going back. I have faith that the next visit will be very similar.

With each visit I like his office less. I have had trouble with crowns he has put on. On my last cleaning he was too backed up to even see me. We are switching offices.

I've had crowns done there and they did it right the first time. No bite troubles. However, they need to extend hours to accommodate working people.

Dr. Farage's skills seem to be good and he is friendly. Office hours are limited and the billing system is not accurate at all.

About Hygienist: Very kind, gentle and funny. I always enjoy interacting with them. Very good with kids.
