Handel Brian E Dmdpc

On this, my second visit to Dr. Handel, I resolved to not return. Our family, granted– we we’re using a Groupon to try a new Dentist a year ago — all visited (3 young adult children and my husband and I). I was the only one who Dr. Handel actually met with and I was the only one who’s mouth he briefly examined. Everyone else only saw the technician. Should have realized THEN this practice is not about great dental care.
This week I returned with a toothache. The technician came in, asked where did it hurt. I indicated «somewhere in here» pointing, not really being sure which tooth was the problem. She didn’t probe at all– just x-​rayed. After waiting another 15 minutes Dr. Handel came in, Explained he couldn’t tell what the problem was but that I should go to a specialist he recommended who has a special tools to check the root. He never looked in my mouth –he never probed any teeth, he just accepted the $ 121 payment and gave me a phone number for someone else. After seeing another dentist, (paying again and getting another x-​ray this time after they determined which was the right tooth, they were highly recommended on Unilocal) It turned out Dr Handels office didn’t even x-​ray the right tooth! SO it was a complete waste of $ 121!
