I went in for my six month checkup/teeth cleaning, and to have a new set of xrays done. Dr. Brian Shaffer came into the exam room where I'm having my teeth cleaned and we started to discuss a problem tooth I have, and a couple of cavities I need to have filled. I informed him I dont have the best insurance, and I don't have a ton of money; so if something serious needed to be done I would have to wait until I couldn't wait anymore, ie, I was in pain. Dr. Shaffer lost it, he said if I was the kind of person that just wanted to come in every six months or a year and have my teeth cleaned, then I needed to find another dentist. Then he stormed out of the room. I was shocked, the sweet dental hygienist was shocked and followed him out of the room. Comming back in a few moments later telling me he "wasn't right today". Now call me crazy, but when it comes to medical care I want a Doc who is, at least, "right" when he is AT WORK. So I have decied to take Dr Shaffer's advice and seek a dentist without an anger control problem. After all, he uses a lot of sharp instruments, and they are in my mouth.
About Hygienist: Dr Shaffer's hygienst is the knidest young women. She was smart capable and recommended a new tooth brush six months ago that really cut down on my plaque.
