Dr. Felipe Morales DDS - Dentist
2.0 based on 4 reviews
out of 5 starsAbout Hygienist: to complete the procedure and me enduring immeasurable pain he admitted he was unable to do the work. He indicated it was probably better to stop because I had run out of insurance for the year. He never admitted his malpractice. I went to another dentist, in disbelief, she said that Morales had destroyed the tooth and drilled into the bone. She took a Cat-Scan and sent me to a specialist. She asked me if Morales had done a Cat-Scan. When I indicated he hadn't she couldn't believe it. She said he couldn't perform the work because I had very thin roots and they were hidden behind each other. I went to see the specialist and she was shocked when she reviewed the scan. She confirmed the last dentist's diagnosis. She said the tooth was destroyed. She said I needed a transplant and quickly. I told her that I advised Morales that I had previously had a coronary stent placed in a narrowing coronary artery and did not want to risk a heart infection which could kill me. He said that would be no problem. The specialist indicated she had the same fear. I returned to see Morales with a copy of the scan. I took a witness. I confronted him with the scan. He took it and we went into the front reception area of his office. He took the scan and put the disc in a computer. He sat there looking at the scan for at least 15 minutes. When I asked him to explain, he immediately said he wasn't at fault. I told him I needed for him to pay for an implant. He said he would not, but said he would pay for a bridge. I told him he had destroyed my tooth and a bridge would be unsatisfactory. He them demanded that I leave his office. I left and to this day he has refused to pay for the implant and even refused to return the $600.00 he was paid to destroy my tooth and endanger my health. The pain continued,
