Ruined my life! All I wanted was to have a cap replacement that I lost.. He also noticed my left front tooth/crown loose.So he determined that I needed a removable bridge and proceeded to extract two capped teeth and two good porceline crowns! I also needed to have an abscess tended too which he did last. Of which when I returned for a already paid for one of my two future cleanings included in $3,000 plus fee for service, he became irate and angered and asked me to leave his office and don't come back! I stated, "but, my cleaning a schedule for today! and I need to have it done." He still refused. Since the bridge, material was placed in my mouth, including the temp, I have experienced allergic reactions, including facial rash, swelling of left side of face, two days after root canal, large blotch below left eye, lips swollen, sore throat and inability to swallow. Which continues to this day. I have been taking Benadryl every morning to reduce the side effects of the bad chemical content of the bridge. I am frightened and having sleep deprivation due to the constant secretion of saliva due to the poison I am exposed to in the dental material. It seems that the dental lab that he uses is in Pa and owned by a the former dentist.

About Front Desk: Seemed very nice at first and them was not very nice after full payment received. Which I may say was paid in full for each visit. (office appointment).

About Hygienist: Was refused service and told not to return to his office, because I questioned his product and also the repitive exrays being taken on each visit. The dental assistant, made an error with the digital photo and stated "oh, I have to take it again." I was concered about excess radiation and she took of the protetive cover from my chest an threw it on a chair, causing it too fall to the floor. She was very irate and dislayed the same irrational behavior as her employer! I was being very nice and expressed my concerns in a calm and intellengetn mannor! I did not deserve such horrible treatment. When I exited the office I met with a senior woman and she too was upset over his bad treatment to her. She had some sores on her mouth and told her he doesn't know what it is. I assume bacteria from poor sterilization of equipment and lack of hand washing and no bio hazard containers in sight!

My Experience:

Duration: not long, showed inexperience, asked assistant what size tool to use!

I know this doctor: responded to add in paper
