For 25 years, Dr. G took very good care of my parents, my grandmother and me. Being a fearful patient, I always felt comfortable and well taken care of when I saw him (& his sweet staff.) He was very expensive, but it seemed worth it.
Then, all of a sudden, about 5 or 6 yrs. ago, this changed drastically. When I was in his office to have a tooth filled, it appeared that due to my great sensitivity and low pain threshold that I was going to require more novacaine. This showed itself by me "jumping" when he applied the drill. But instead of his usual patience and sensitivity, he exhibited the opposite--a tremendous amount of insensitivity and lack of patience, "scolding me" and saying that "I should just go home!" This left me in tears and I think I did let him go through with the procedure anyway. I was also surprised at his reaction because he was well aware that I wrestle with a mood disorder-and he had always been patient before!
That was the last time I saw him. Later that year, when I sent him my final payment, I included a long letter to him showing my shock,and sadness over this incident, explaining why he had lost me as a patient. I received no answer. Burnout maybe? So I can not comfortably recommend him.
I know this doctor: around 25 yyrs.
