Made me wait over an hour after scheduled appointment before being called to the chair.
I've been seeing a dentist every 6 months for the last 20 years and had braces as a teen, but Ricketts said that my teeth need over $3000 worth of repair work plus braces! Keep in mind my teeth are straight (according to my previous 2 dentists) and he found no cavities. I haven't had a cavity in 15 years. He wanted to change out all of my amalgam fillings, although they are only 10-20 years old.
Very poor chair-side manner. Very rough on the mouth considering all he was doing was a cursory exam, and seemed to be in way too much of a hurry. In 10 minutes he had his assistant list a page worth of procedures he wanted to perform on my mouth, then off he went.
I've had two dentists in the past 20 years, both of which would comment how straight my teeth are and how little tartar was on my teeth. I brush 3 times daily and floss 3 times a week or better. My teeth are probably in better shape than 95% of the general population, but somehow he wanted to milk $3000 out of my mouth? No thanks.
I felt like I was in a factory operation instead of a dental office. I'm finding a dentist that cares about his or her patients, instead of the $.
