I chose Dr. Katz from a list of DMO providers because his office location was the most convenient. After my first visit (cleaning, exam, & x-rays) I have no reason to doubt his technical competence but his bedside manner leaves much to be desired. He seemed rushed and was fairly aggressive shoving instruments & x-ray films in my mouth without telling me what he was doing (he also basically threw the lead apron on me, and that thing is heavy!). I've never really minded going to the dentist & handle dental procedures pretty well, but the thought of going back to this guy for the 2 fillings he says I need is a little scary. I just didn't feel comfortable.
