I was a dental patient of Dr. St. Elmo Crawford, who has 2 offices in Washington, DC.
For many years when I would go to get a filling for my teeth, Dr. Crawford insisted on me having a root canal and other expensivie dental work. I would explain to Dr. Crawford that I could not afford extensive dental work and just needed him to fill the cavity. He would refuse and for many years I thought that dentists' no longer filled tooth cavities.
To my horror, I learned by a chance conversation with a stranger that dentist do indeed fill cavities. So for the last 15 or so years, my teeth have broken off and the holes have become larger and have caused much pain and suffering for me.
My last visit to Dr. St. Elmo Crawford was approx. 2 years ago when I politely asked if he could fill my cavities. He very rudely and harshly informed me that "you get a root canal or get them pulled out, that's your choice."
I have now come to find that Dr. Crawford is a rip-off, money hungry dentist who can make more money doing root canals while a good filling is much cheaper and lasts longer. He has ruined my dental health by denying me simple services. I do not recommend him.
