I had two cavities filled by Dr. Pivor. At the time I was about one month over having bronchitis and still had a very slight and occasional cough. I told him so and said that if I did need to cough at all during the procedure, I would raise my hand to ask him to stop. He seemed very annoyed. When he put the piece of equipment in place it pinched very badly, and very soon after he started tears were running down my face not from the cavity he was filling but from the pain of where the side of my mouth was being pinched. I raised my hand for him to stop and he didn't. I started grunting, trying to talk, and he ignored me. This went on the whole time while I was soon in a panic state. When he was done, I found that the whole corner of my mouth where it had been held was cut and bleeding - and in fact I had a big bruise on the side of my mouth for several months, which severely impacted my life as a public speaker. I was really traumatized by this man and will not even go to my dental clinic when he is there.
