I was a patient of Dr Brown (Dr Pollowitz' wife and dental partner). When I showed up for an appointment I was surprised to find that I was "given" to Dr Pollowitz. Dr Pollowitz placed 3 composite fillings, all of which had air bubbles which caused pitting and needed replacement after only a few years. During the procedure he was very stingy with the oxygen supply and refused to open the valve so I could breathe correctly. When he had trouble installing a dam in my mouth he left in frustration and had a trainee do the job. The trainee cut my gums rather severely and nearly chipped or cracked my molars with the pliers, and then acted like I was wasting her time. Dr Pollowitz then called me "paranoid" because I asked too many questions about the procedure.
I feel that some of the fillings he placed were unnecessary and that he was overly aggressive in drilling out healthy tooth material to place fillings with multiple surfaces (which cost more than single surface fillings). I have seen many dentists in my life and have never experienced such unprofessionalism and incompetence. I do not recommend Dr Pollowitz.
