I recently had some work done with dr. Joel rifkind. I am just starting to recover from the treatment two months later. I found out that after seeing my doctor, that the tools that were inside my mouth contained harmful bacteria. I was sick for several weeks and was unable to eat. In all my years of going to a dentist, I have never encountered this kind of painful mess. At my age, I do not need this! I was skeptical of going to this doctor after similar instances reported but figured it was just rumor...have turned this over legally and fear for anyone using this practice. These guys should have there license revoked!! Horrible experience!!!
