***********Beware of Dr. Poindexter********
I found him on the internet. His office was located on my route home from work & he was on my insurance plan. I went to his office for a Root Canal. I should have left running when I saw how defensive he got when I asked him to use gloves as he went from patient to patient. He attempted to play it off but if I had not insisted he would have used his bare hands. He began the root canal by popping off the crown with a screwdriver, yes screwdriver, the ones found in a toolbox or the trunk of a car, not a sterlized dental tool. After he did what he considered to be completed work & the numbness wore off, the pain set in, it was like something exploded in my jaw bone & ear. It took the new dentist 2 weeks to get the infection under control before he could extract the tooth. It was no longer a decision of mine to save the tooth by having a RC done. Now I need an implant. $$$
The new dentist told me that Dr. Poindexter actually missed my canal with his drill & had drilled a hole on the side of the canal & into my jaw bone. He said this was the work of someone who knew nothing about what they were doing. Dr. Poindexter has to be one of the worst dentist in the world.!!!!!!
