Dr Uelk, although seemingly knowledgable in his field lacks necessary gentleness and finess. He scraped my gums and inner lip many times while cleaning and his hand seemed to shake a bit during the process. There was no one there to suction so he stuck the suction pipe independently in my mouth where it sharply jabbed at my already swollen gums and did not work correctly while my mouth uncomfortable filled over with blood and drool. My paper bib was covered in driplets of blood! The whole experience was dreadful and painful. I left feeling completely drained and in misery. Although he seems like a very nice and personable character, the experience was terrible for me.

About Hygienist: The last thing I'll say that really disappointed me was that he seemed to be more concerned with how much money he could get from my insurance, asking his receptionist, "How much will the insurance pay for this procedure?" or "What about this procedure?'" in front of me. It seems as if the main concern was to diagnose me with the most severe issue so the insurance would pay more!
