No words, he would even act as if he were giving the numbing agent so the assistants wouldn’t catch on. He just loved torturing children. Evil

I am 28 years old now and this incident happened when I was about 9 or 10. It was my first time ever there ,(jus a check up) and he wouldn't let my mom go in the back with me, next thing I know he's pulling teeth and putting in caps and fillings, so I'm crying for my mom and then he holds me down by my throat and says if I don't stop crying then I'll never see my mom again.. he didn't even really give me the stuff to numb my gums.. I was too afraid to tell my mom until we got home about 1.5 hrs away.. so needless to say, that gave me hella bad PTSD about dentists so I avoided them at all costs.. and now here I am 28 years old trying to figure out how I'm gonna afford dental implants because all of my teeth are f**Ked.. honestly , what he did gave me PTSD about any and all doctors. He's the type that just to get off, he goes and reads all the negative reviews and reads all these that we post about our horrible experiences.. .....such a scumbag. Dillon Hobbs..

So sad, so much trauma and PTSD. Told me the same thing 28 years ago, to “shut up! Stop crying, you did this to yourself!” While he put unnecessary fillings in every single tooth just to collect the Medi-Cal insurance money. This man in Satan! Now as a young working professional I am mortified to go to the dentist because I look like a sloppy neglectful person who doesn’t take of herself when they do x-rays and discover that every single tooth has a filling. Not to mention how much money it cost me as an adult to out of pocket replace every Medi-Cal silver filling to porcelain in order to fit in and my mask my childhood trauma from this man. Stay away, I hope he gets what he deserves!

I hate that bastard. He papoosed my 18 month old, and performed unnecessary dental work, silver caps on baby teeth. My son has been so traumatized by him that after 31 years still has a problem going to and trusting any dentist. Thank you very much, Dr. Ronald Zirkle formally practicing in Redding CA. P.S. Medi-Cal also thanks you, for all the business you unnecessarily billed them for. God Bless you. You need it!

I took my daughter to this bastard about 25 years ago. She is tough as nails. Came out with tears in her eyes. Said she told him it hurt. He ignored her plea for help. I thought for years that I'd love to shoot off his kneecaps. His only saving grace is that I've managed my anger. May that fucker rot in hell.

I had almost the SAME experience with Dr Zirkle as a child! Unnecessarily forceful, told me to shut up and stop crying, my mother was not allowed in the room..I'm 28 years old and this man is THE REASON I have only been to a dentist four times in MY LIFE! He's the reason I have PTSD, and he's the reason I cry when even thinking of making a dentist appointment...I can not even go to a dentist and take care of my dental health because of the trauma I received as a child from this horrible man! DO NOT take your kids! And if you do, believe them when they try to tell you he's mean and it hurt! They won't have the vocabulary to say he crosses the line of malpractice, unprofessional, evil, and has no business working with children.
