Unfortunately my wife and siblings have had similarly negative experiences over the years that only recently FINALLY reached the point where we switched dentists. Our primary issues were:
- Repeated fillings issues (need to be replaced, replaced again, and eventually a full crown is the only option...much more involved and expensive)
- near constant upselling into more expensive procedures (veneers, etc)
- 1 somewhat-botched root canal
Maybe our experiences were not typical. Ask around before you consider this dentist.
About Hygienist: The hygienists in charge of general cleanings were very capable and friendly.
