Very expensive, but that would be ok if the results had been even adequate. Long appointments, disorganized staff, she refuses to give basic opinions especially regarding the advisablity of removing amalgam fillings (you'd think a holistic dentist would do that much), overdosed me on nitrous oxygen, cracked a rear molar while removing an old filling; after a period of great pain staff told me what it likely was and that sometimes it resolved on its own. So I left on a trip, and suffered for weeks -- it cost me a root canal (great dentist -- O'Dell in Seattle!) & now a crown, about $3000 . Her dental hygenist staff member over-scraped & damaged a tooth in the process of cleaning it & it was very sensitive for over a year. Overall way too much chatting, time wasting & building "rapport" (obviously not too successful a rapport in my case, huh!) Staff was abrupt or even rude, certainly insensitive to someone I referred there (sure won't be referring there now of course.) Bottom line: I would rather tie a string to my doorknob and pull my own teeth than ever be in the hands of this self styled "enlightened" dentist. The worst dental experiences of my long life, over and over -- each thing she or her staff did. Truly dreadful.
