I was not impressed with this doctor or his staff. He was very unfriendly which sets the mood for the rest of his staff. He washed his hands VERY BRIEFLY before putting them in my mouth and did not use gloves. He did explain what was happening as he went along but he was so rough that it has now been six days and I am still taking pain killers. The site has healed but he pulled so hard on my jaw with his hand that I thought it might be broken. He did not prop it open with an appliance of any kind, just pulled very hard with his hand. When it was over he said, "you're done" and walked out of the exam room. The nurse threw away the paper towel he had used and left on the counter and directed me to stop at the front desk to pay. The receptionist took my credit card and then handed me a small OPEN envelope with some loose gauze pads in it, definitely NOT sterile pads and gave me instructions to change the gauze in my mouth if I needed to. I wondered how many hands had touched the pads and where the hands might have been previously. I also wondered if the gauze the doctor had put into the extraction site was sterile. All in all, it was a VERY BAD experience. I recommend STAYING AS FAR AWAY FROM THIS PRACTICE AS POSSIBLE>
