I will NOT ever again go to the Dobbin Dental Suite.
2yrs. ago Dr. Paliotta recommended I get permanent retainer with ease of cleaning, which I did 2 years ago at the ortho to which she had referred me. This past week her co-practitioner Dr. Berne called it "stupid" and suggested that it be removed. W/o any numbing, Berne then performed a full-mouth debriding and said that was the hardest appt. and I should only need one, maybe two more that would be "easier." I kicked and screamed through the whole procedure. I was gushing blood when I left. Came in this following wk. and was numbed using topical which "wasn't covered" they said, charted by an asst., and then sent packing by Paliotta w/o any cleaning done!! She insisted 45 min. appts. only, suggesting I would need 4 separate visits, because they "didn't know my gums were sensitive" beforehand. She chastised me for having done homework (EZ w the internet) about how such procedures are commonly scheduled. 2 yrs ago, Paliotta did a shoddy job on a simple filling which still feels wrong often. I have many fillings and never had a similar problem before. I got up & left todays appt., missed 1/2 day work, angry. You can only give that many chances before saying NO
out of 5 stars
