I should have done this a few years ago when I had my teeth done. Let me start by saying that I had only been to a dentist once before in my life as a child. I went in this time to get dentures. Before this I had never had a tooth pulled or anything so I was pretty scared. It was the best first experience I could have ever hoped for. I did have to have several appointments and wait 8 months for my teeth but it was due to Medicaid. He first pulled my wisdom teeth and I never felt a thing long enough for it to bother me. He was so patient to. If I started to feel something he would stop and numb me up and we would watch and play along with the game show on tv. I thought that was pretty awesome. And all the nightmares I heard about teeth being pulled were gone because he didnt pull it. He chiseled and they popped out. He said it was his own technique so I felt pretty special I got that for my first experience. The other top of my teeth were just as easy but took so long. At least 3 game shows. But when I came back 8 months later and got my new mouth it was worth it! If I dont tell people that they are dentures they dont know. Its been about 5 years now I think and I still love them Im the older one

If I could give 0 stars I would. I partially blame myself I should have known from the first visit that this place wasnt a good place for an extraction. There are humidifiers in each room. Which attempts to cover the mildew smell. But I hate to say thats not even why they get 0 stars! I went in for 2 extractions which took the dentist 2 weeks to even submit a referral. After the referral was approved I went in for the extraction. I made a 8:** appointment but didnt even get called until 12pm. So I had to reschedule. Still not why I give 0 stars. My next appointment I cleared my day, asked my husband to take off, and came prepared for 2 extractions. I went back into the room. I let the dentist know that I am extremely hard to numb. (Told him this at my last appointment too). I do admit he gave me about 4 shots for 2 teeth on separate sides ( past dentist used 3-4 for 1 area in the past on me). I kept telling him I could feel it. He kept touching the numb spots on the outside of my mouth. Of course I couldnt feel that. Then he proceeded to hammer at my teeth again. I tell him I CAN FEEL THAT! So he gets into a huge argument with me about what I can and cant feel. Asks me to open my mouth, and hammers again. After 2 good pounds, He then tells me he cant pull the tooth. I gladly got up in tears. I was pissed because he should have known from the first hammer & my yelp in pain, that he couldnt pull it and wrote a referral to a surgeon! But hes rude. Always has slick comments. He got an attitude on several occasions & He feels that he can say whatever he wants. I got my referral directly thru my Insurance company because he wouldnt do an emergency one. The representative said I had to wait until he does his referrals on Fridays. Ill also be Changing to another dentist. This one is so ghetto. Im already scheduled for an emergency surgery this dentist could care less. He doesnt give 2fcks about his patients!!

My son is a approx. on appointment number seven. All he received was a root canal and a cap for his tooth. I don't understand why there's so many appointments that each last two to three hours a piece. Yesterday we went there at 10:30 a.m., he was given Novocaine, an hour and 45 minutes later he still hasn't been seen yet, the novocaine is wearing off. The doctor goes ahead and gives him more Novocaine. Now we all realize medicine is not free so obviously the states being charged twice for medicine. Come to find out that the doctor drug the appointments so far apart that Medicaid no longer covers the cap because it expired. I filed a report with Medicaid. I'm not a lawyer but I'm not stupid either. You are obviously just coming up with random appointments and wasting so much time just so you can charge Medicaid more and more. Any reputable dentist could have done this and maybe three visits tops. And not only to top it off my son came back out of the appointment which nothing happened at all even though it took 3 hours, but the doctor himself degraded him, a child, (17yrs.old,) for complaining about being left alone in a room by himself for over an hour and a half. I suggest you don't go here and I suggest that the state looks into this. So many people can get Medicaid because there's not enough money and then there's people like this that are just taking so much of the state's money and not doing any work for it. I would give negative Stars if possible. Please Google somewhere else or if the state tells you this doctor argue them. Even the work he did in the first few appointments fell right out of his mouth. I could have done better with products I bought at walgreens. And don't even get me started on his preferable treatment for special people. Remember I've had entirely too many appointments not to see what really goes on there.
