Very professional yet gentle and patient dentist. I found his work to be quite good and basically painless, taking every effort to assure my comfort level.
Very pleased with results.
He and his staff are very accommodating and understanding.

I had a bad experience with this dentist. I was given an option of either getting my upper front teeth pulled, or get them crowned. I agreed to have the teeth crowned, this was one of the worse mistakes of my life. I trusted this dentist, when looking back I should have gotten another opinion. I was given no pre or post instructions, and never anything for pain. He let his assitant make the 2 piece temp. cover that were full of holes, causing me ice like shocking pain. When I went back and told the dentist, he just laughed, so I wore them till I got the permanant work. I was only shown the perm. teeth once under floresant lighting. I was unhappy with somne of the teeth being dark. When he removed them he knocked out an additional tooth, causing me $2,000, at my cost. When I made the last visit this was an evern worse mistake, thinking he was going to do something about the sharp pain I had on the right side of my mouth, he just hurt me again, and did not even look in my mouth.

Bad experience. For some reason I was singled out, and will never knew why. The treatment was rough and unprofessional,and dishonest. Super expensive. I made a very critical mistake and trusted him, and did not get another opinion. What needed done and the cost would always vary. At the time i felt in over my head right away, and wanted him to fix what he had done to me, and then I was going to leave. I made a very big mistake with going in on the last visit, when all he did was to shove very forcefully he sharp metal explorer in an opened he had created above the right cannine. The dentist then had his office manager to bill me insurance for an examination that never happened, as he never even looked in my mouth. During my treatment he had knocked out my left upper back tooth, which caused me to have a toothache for almost 3 weeks, then $2,000 to save the tooth, at my cost.This visit was not documented in my chart.Severe sharp pain on the right of my mouth, also not documented.
