These people are the most unprofessional and the most unsanitary dentist I ever been to. I will never go back to this dentist again.

This was BY FAR THE ABSOLUTE WORST EXPERIENCE!!! This man was completely unprofessional, neglectful, and ultimately painful to me. I left bleeding and in tears. I picked his office because it was nearby and took my health insurance – yet I did look him up on Unilocal and saw more positive than negative things.
Upon entering and being told to «watch my bag closely,» I was ignored for about 15 minutes. Then someone called a name, NOTHING LIKE MINE, and said, «come fill out this form.» So I did, and 45 minutes later, a jolly, cool, happy guy said, «Hey! You missed the storm!» So I responded, «Really?! I’m right across the street and thought it was nice all day!!!» He then said, «No, I mean it was very busy before, the waiting room was PACKED! we just scarfed down some Chinese and its 3:00!» (my appointment was at 1:30…) he had someone who didn’t speak English X-​ray my teeth and upon looking at them he said – «Eh, you’re ok – no bone loss. But I think I’m gonna recommend a Periodontist.» I was like – «Oh omg, ok…» And he left. I didn’t even have a cleaning. I didn’t know why I needed to see a specialist. I called my insurance company and they listed a few, so I made an appointment with one. The periodontist’ office said, «we need your X-​rays and a test showing why he recommended us.» So I made another appointment with him…
THIS Is where my long winded story gets good. He greets me with, «we have a periodontist HERE, why didn’t you make an appointment with him?!» I responded with, «oh I didn’t know that, I had no idea.» (Thanks for letting me know the first time I was here…) Then he says, «YOUR INSURANCE ISNT GONNA COVER THE PERIODONTIST ANYWAY, so this is a waste of time.» THEN, he plucks my gums at the base of EVERY TOOTH, with a tiny pick, stabbing hurriedly and rushing and complaint – while I BLEED, and says, «ok we’re done. No more calls to my office CUZ your insurance won’t cover anything anyway.» I asked what I needed done and he said «Maybe nothing. Your teeth are good – no cavities that I can see. But your gums are high». (I’m thinking — they always have been — you didn’t ask…) so as HE WALKS AWAY – OUT OF THE ROOM, I said «Well thanks Doctor, I’m sorry to have wasted your time.» I was bleeding and crying. I went to the Periodontist and they had no idea why he would think I needed them. They said he was lazy and unprofessional. I think he’s an absolute MONSTER. I’m suing now. JUST DONT GO HERE!!!

So after my rant, my fiancée decided to return to this dentist. We had gotten a better offer somewhere else, but overall my fiancée was very confident with him. He worked with us billing wise and more than made up for the crap they were trying to pull there.
