this dentist could use a course in proper bedside manners. he's extremely curt and impolite and hardly allows you the opportunity to ask questions or address any concerns you may have. this character flaw wouldn't be an issue if the dental work were up to par, but it's not. if you bring to his attention any problems you're experiencing, he's awfully dismissive and bullies you into thinking the problem is all in your head and there's NO problem with the dental service he provided. i eventually went to another dentist and he was able to fix the problem promptly and with a pleasant disposition (!!!). i would advise you steer clear of this dentist.
