The pain lingers for a long time (weeks) after almost any procedure: he often has to repeat procedure - usually due to a miscalculation on his part. He leaves his patients hanging in emergency situations and does not return emergency calls. The crowns often fall off shortly after they are put in (incorrectly applied or wrong adhesive). He SHOULD NEVER do multiple root canals (often messes up). He undertakes tasks he (or his staff) cannot perform. He is extremely expensive and you have to pay before the procedure is completed (after the first visit of each procedure. Other doctors in his office are fair,but his support staff seems incompetent ,with few exceptions. He does not give you a fair warning about possible complications or pain so you often caught unawares (at work, or during a vacation). The hygienist is good. Dr.Ritholtz's chair-side manners are very good. The front desk people are disconnected and aloof. They are not really there for you when you need them.
