I had a horrific experience with this dentist. He explained absolutely nothing, charged me for the procedure before it even took place, and did not give me the tools for proper aftercare. I ended up with twofold infection and prolonged, severe pain. Six hours after surgery, I experienced high fever and excrutiating pain, to which the painkillers were no match. I couldn't stand the pain and fever suggested infection, so I went back 24 hours later. He saw me for less than 3 minutes and said that everything was normal. I suggested that maybe I was sick with an infection, and he said no and wisked me out the door. My fever and pain contunued and the following day I went to urgent care out of desperation. The doctor prescribed me an antibiotic for a throat infection but said that I needed to see the dentist again. My fever broke the following day [from the antibiotic treatment, I'm sure] and I thought I would get better. I still had tremendous swelling on one side of my face and severe pain from my front teeth up to my ear on that side. I went back to Dr. Needle the following morning and he said, yes, your wound is infected. He prescribed an antibiotic and said it was a "bump in the road." More like a roadblock.
