Cost:

This was the first/only urgent weekend visit for swelling of the gum r/t a root canal with a chronic infection. I waited approximately 35 min to be seen prior to an Xray/examination. I had to pay an upfront fee of $256.00 for a Panorex and consultation even though I have 2 PPO dental insurance plans that are effective,(this office does not accept or file insurance); A costly full-mouth Panorex was done for a single tooth consultation. Dr Padolsky presented 15 min after the Xray,wearing a sock without shoes on one foot (the sock was exposed to the bare floor and dirty) the other foot was sock- covered and he wore a flip-flop. He said he has gout and couldn't wear a shoe on the affected foot. His scrub top was stained and dirty, I observed him coming from another patient, into my room, without washing his hands. He looked at the Panorex, and told me I needed a tooth extraction w/an implant.. The price for both was excessive based on prior experience.I was given 2 Rxs, told Publix would fill them as several pharmacies had refused to fill his Rx r/t of the paper He uses for prescriptions. Needless to say, I was grateful for the antibiotic and weekend availability, but made the decision NOT to return to this practice for treatment.

About Front Desk: Pleasant and friendly.

About Hygienist: I did not see a Hygienist. I am not sure who performed the Panorex, but he was pleasant and quick.. Also, he was the one who entered, printed and discussed the "treatment plan" with me along with giving me the prescriptions and instructions to have them filled at Publix instead of other local pharmacies.

My Experience:

Duration: 30 minutes
