I was so absolutely displeased with the way Dr. Jan A. Kooning treated me while in his office. First of all, upon calling to confirm my appt, I was told, the day of, that I would need to come in 1 1/2 hrs early to be seen & treated. When there I waited in the lobby 20 minutes and was treated rudely by the dental assistant, once seated, the dr didn't say a word to me, he just began with a needle to anesthetize me- which startled me as I thought a topical anesthetic was common practice before that. He laughed at me, placed topical on the outside of my gum, and then used the needle, without topical, on the inside of my gum and hit a nerve in my jaw that shot such a severe pain through me it felt like a 9 on the pain scale. I still have no feeling in half my tongue (29 hours later), and am worried that he damaged a nerve. While he was waiting for it to kick in, he pulled the tooth of someone in the next room, and with brute force yanked the top of my tooth off, leaving the roots in my gum, causing more digging and damage than necessary. I had a different tooth removed the week prior by Dr. Donald Wells in Hillsboro and the bleeding stopped before I left the office. I bled for 5 hours after seeing Dr. Kooning, awful experience!
