Creve Coeur Periodontics

I've been going there for two years, and from the beginning it was documented that she scared with anxiety etc... but I've always held it together. This morning, I had a hygienist that I've never had so I asked her can you please be a little easy but I also know you have a job to do, she gave me a white napkin and said raise this if it hurts. I'm like cool. So I make it through a few painful hits during this cleaning then she hit the point, I jump and was like whew I can do this, I need a minute, she aggressively pushes the light to the side, threw done her implements and stopped. I said I just needed a moment she resumed but pushed harder and was shaking her head saying to me " you are a trip" repeatedly. I got up and said I'm done. She grabbed the dentist bib off of me and snatched the classes off my face. She assaulted me. 10 yrs ago I would've kicked her...But instead I called the police and you know that the white hygienist played victim against the black patient. The police let it happen but I got an incident report. Dr Radar did come out and said "what do you want us to do" just defending his employee that assaulted me. Another racist case of a white woman in the wrong and plays victim to the police against the black patient that did nothing. This place is racist! It doesn't even have any black employees. Don't go there if you are black. Now, let me contact my legal team.

I've been really happy with my experience with Dr. Radar and the staff. I had to have a gum graft done (twice) and both times it went as well as a very not-fun procedure can go.

This is a good office. I had a broken tooth and no insurance. Not a great situation to be in but Dr. Rader was able to clearly explain to me what was going on inside my mouth and recommend a proper treatment. I only went there for an exam by this guy is clearly knowledgeable and knows what he's doing, so I recommend going here.

I took my mom here since we were referred to them by her primary dentist. Let me say this if you are a person of color, dont go here. If you speak English as a second language dont go here either. They treated my mom like she was a kid that couldnt understand. I was her translator and they wouldnt let me in the room on the first appointment. The assistant that wears black scrubs and has dark hair is very rude and unprofessional. My moms primary dentist office sent over X-rays so we wouldnt have to pay for them again but the assistant with the black scrubs clearly didnt give a damn and just took X-rays anyway. Since I couldnt go into the room, I wasnt able to tell them that my mom had an extraction done and her socket was still healing. The assistant made my mom open her mouth very wide and was very rough when taking the X-rays. My mom stated days after this appointment that her mouth was still very sore from opening her mouth so wide. We only met the doctor on the first appointment and didnt meet him after that. The second appointment where my mom got her cleaning done, they took less then 20 minutes to clean the left side and were teaching her how to brush her teeth. The older assistant stated that she has done this for 35 years but when I watched her clean my moms mouth she wasnt doing a good job. This assistant treated my mom like she was a kid as well and probably thought my mom was unintelligent. My mom is in her 50s and does understand a little English to get her by. My mom was very disappointed with this office. She didnt like how they didnt clean her teeth thoroughly. We called the office stating that my mom wasnt pleased with her appointment. The front desk stated there was a communication barrier since my mom doesnt speak English. They put the blame on my mom saying she wasnt sure of what was going on. I grew up in America since I was a baby and I wasnt pleased with how they cleaned her teeth, and how they talked to my mom. Also the older assistant was very hard to understand underneath her mask, she mumbled too much and didnt speak properly. It was very clear the staff did not want to treat my mom since my mom wears her traditional clothing. One more thing about the second appointment. We came 10 minutes early but we waited 15 minutes past her appointment time. Every other patient that came in was Caucasian and was taken back immediately while we were kept waiting. This is unprofessional. As much as the doctor is nice and kind, the staff is disrespectful and unprofessional. I didnt mention this to this office to see how they treat their patients: I worked in a dental office for several years and am becoming a dentist. You dont treat any of your patients like this. No matter what differences you may have between you and your patients, you treat them with care and make sure they enjoy their experience. This office also billed insurance for the X-rays and for her cleaning and sent us a bill for over $300 that they expect us to pay.
