I began going to Dr. Wherley after he bought the practice from my previous dentist, some 30 yrs. ago. I completely trusted him, even with some facial bruising. Not a gentle guy. A couple of yrs. ago, he was filling a tooth, the drill slipped and the tooth next to it needed a root canal. I couldn't afford it, he pulled it and nothing was said. With a devastating divorce came no $ to pay the dentist. He knew it, never mentioned alternatives, just kept sending those bills. I have found some dental grants, some help on my own. The Dental School @ the University thought complete extraction might be an alternative.
