I went to this dentist for a routine cleaning and instead of the hygenist he was the one who cleaned my teeth. I have had my teeth cleaned for 5 years every 6 months, and went to him because my dentist was on disability leave, and DR. BARBE did a TERRIBLE job. He broke my wire metal retainer and didn't offer to fix it properly, instead he was going to try and bond the two teeth with a thin thin piece of wire... not retainer wire. Then when I suggested I get a professional opinion instead, after arguing back and forth, and him sending me for a "second opinion" to his orthodontist.. which took more time, he opted only to pay half of the $250 to fix it. What a very unprofessional ordeal which ended up costing me a lot of time and hassle.
