I went to Dr. Ly for my regular cleaning appointment after seeing decent reviews of him at various websites. Well, he didn't know my left tooth from my right tooth - he saw the x-rays & said that my right wisdom tooth was coming out at an angle, when I knew that it was my left tooth (its my mouth & I have a fairly good sense of direction!). I asked him if he was sure; he said that he was. Anyway..I didn't think much of it until that same tooth started hurting the very next day (I had no issues whatsoever prior to this). I waited for a day to see if the pain would go away, but it only got worse. I called him & he sent an antibiotic prescription to Walgreens. 2 days later my face was swollen & I couldn't open my jaw, so I called him again & scheduled an appt for Monday. He called me back an hour later & asked me to come immediately instead (this was a Sunday). He saw me & went on to give me some lame analogies of babies with teething problems & basically said that I just had to wait. He saw me again on Monday & same story - he had no clue what was going on; all he did was get defensive about his cleaning not being the cause of the pain. I had to go to a different dentist ultimately for this problem . Then he sent me a bill for $400!

About Hygienist: I called the office about the ridiculous bill & the fact that he never really did anything to make me better. The front-desk lady was extremely rude & instead of discussing the problem started making threats about collection agencies. I don't have a problem paying if he would've taken care of the problem, but that was not the case! Moreover, he never mentioned that the visit would cost me $400, otherwise I would've just waited until Monday. Finally, I was going to wait until Monday, but he was the one who asked me to come a day earlier. The front-desk lady also filed the insurance incorrectly & billed me for charges that should've been covered under the insurance. When I pointed this out to her, she refused to correct her mistake & asked me to pay up. Please, save yourself the pain & the money & DO NOT visit this dentist!!
