I visited this dentist for a consultation to put a treatment plan together and get some work done -- and I was very disappointed.
He did not want to provide me with any treatment recommendation, and was very chaotic and evasive. He would not tell me, in a professional manner, what procedures he wanted to do or what cost.
His x-ray machine is very outdated. He takes old film x-rays, which have higher radiation than the digital x-rays used by other offices --- and they don't show as much information. Another dentist told me his x-rays were "crap." Having compared digital to Dr. Picone's 1950's film - I have to agree.
He suggested I pull a tooth, which I think is very unwise recommendation. I had a root canal and I am saving the tooth. Pulling it should have never been an option.
His hygienist did a cleaning, and when I went to another office 2 weeks later -- they couldn't tell I had a cleaning done. I had to do it over.
The desk staff is inefficient and rude. And not that professional.
I would not recommend this dentist. He seems friendly as a person, if unprofessional and chaotic as a dentist --- but my advice would be to go elsewhere --- if even based on the office's equipment/technology alone.
