I went to Doctor Powell almost 4 plus years ago. I had periodontal (spelling?) disease and had loose teeth in the upper front. He laid out a treatment program starting with removal of my 2 front teeth and 2 on the right with my wearing a partial until all the work was completed. He explained that I would have a partial that would hook onto my existing teeth and that I would have them in one day. I had them in one day but it wasn't anything like he advised. It was a partial that I would have to use adhesive, I went back to him after several days for adjustment as my mouth was sore where the partial was sticking into my gums. When I asked him again about the shrinkage and the alignment seemed off, he told me, "your teeth are falling out anyway - what difference does it make?!" Even though I was in pain I wasn't about to let him get away with it. I told him that I came to him for help and his idea of help was to publicly humiliate me. That I had every right to ask as many questions or to question the methods at any time. I told him he should be ashamed of himself. I was already traumatized. I took my teeth he extracted and left. He called me several days later on my workphone and apologized. I kept the message.

About Front Desk: Front desk staff was pleasant enough. As I left after giving Dr. Powell a piece of my mind, they almost looked like they wanted to give me a standing ovation. Today is the first day I am going back to a dentist (that is how traumatized I was by what happened to me with Dr. Powell - 4 plus years later).

I know this doctor: 5 years
