I was referred by my prosthodontist to get a molar removed by Dr. Abrams. I was told that he was a great oral surgeon. I got an appointment quickly enough, but it only took Abrams maybe less than ten minutes to work on me. While he was extracting the molar, he also broke off the temporary crown on the molar next to it. Instead of contacting my prosthodontist, whose office is close by, Abrams simply put some cement on the crown and pushed it back on my tooth. Then he sent me on my way, saying nothing. Later, when the numbing wore off, I realized that the crown was hurting more than the extraction site, and was not placed properly. By that time I was at work, over an hour away . As a result, I will have to drive back to see my prosthodontist early tomorrow morning. He wants to see me ASAP, to fix the crown. I will miss more work, and have to drive a total of two hours. This would have been avoided if Abrams was more thoughtful about the situation.
1 visit was enough to make me ponder about the benefits of ever returning to this doctor if I needed more oral surgery (hopefully I never will).
About Front Desk: So so. To me they had a money orientation that was a bit unprofessional. I am aware that they should be paid for their services, but their presentation of this fact was somewhat "pedestrian".
They made sure that I paid the correct copay prior to seeing the doctor, which is fine, but it made me think he had a history of patients leaving without paying. When I made the appointment, the woman did not recognize my dental insurance name. Therefore, she quoted me the exact price of the procedure, that I must be able to pay it all when I come in, and that "we don't take checks."
Yep, he must have had some bad experiences in the past.
I know this doctor: 1 visit
