This person uses scare methods in order to make you think you are doing preventative care.  He told me I had two large fillings.  One tooth was fractured and the other would.  He said, and I quote, 'I will save you time and nerve damage and do two crowns at once.'   This was supposed to be a knowledgeable person of trust.  The total opposite was true.  The result of his unnecessary surgery was immediate excruitiating TMD/myofacial pain that has lasted 3 1/2 years to-date.  I am in chronic pain and I am told I will have to live like this the rest of my life.  I wear a splint 24/day; this only gives me marginal relief.  When dental records were requested the first time, I was told they had to go directly to the specialist.  This is against the dental law.  The second time I requested them, I was told they were sent to another office, they did not know where, but they did not have them.  The third time I requested them along with a copy of the dental law attached, I received them.  However, there was false information on them.  The two crowns that he had made for me were too large for my mouth.  Both had to be replaced at my expense; however his dental records claim I was reimbursed.  I am still under medical care and always will be.  I have tried every type of therapy and medications that there are.  This has cost me multi-thousands of dollars.  If you know what is best for your health, stay as far away from here as possible.
