LaFrom is a dentist who is very, very good at marketing himself and also very good at defending his actions. Unfortunately, he isn't very good as a dentist. I saw him for a while. I had a problem with a rear molar. His solution was to put a crown on it. The crown didn't fit right and had to be redone, causing me a lot of misery. After it was redone and re-installed, I was still miserable. LaFrom's solution was to grind it down and laser out the surrounding area. Again. And again. No improvement. Still hurt like hell. I'm in constant pain, I'm frustrated, and LaFrom says just give it some time. Finally I'd had enough. I went to see my endodontist, who said "The root is exposed and essentially gone. Looks like it's been like that for quite a while. If it were my tooth, I'd pull it out". Then I went to see my oral surgeon, who examined me and said "I agree with the endodontist. I think you should pull it out. You can't save that tooth. It may even be infected (it was)." So that's what I did, and all the problems went away! What, LaFrom didn't see that while he was working in there?? No doubt it was even visible when he first suggested putting the crown on, since according to the endodontist, it had been like that for quite a while. Maybe he just can't tell. Either way, I paid him a lot of money for the crown, and the whole thing had to be thrown away because he didn't recognize the real problem. Or maybe he did, but just didn't say anything. There's no way for me to know. He does do nice fillings and crowns, though. At least they look pretty when he shows them to you on his high tech television. He loves to do that. The teeth they're in may be rotten and have to be extracted shortly thereafter, but they sure look pretty....

I know this doctor: years
