I took my child (that is 6 years old) to see Dr. Stratmann because he was having a tooth ache. When we went to the appointment they took x-rays and did a exam. They called me back to tell me everything that needed work and gave me a price quote. I asked them if they could give my child some lidocaine to help with the pain. They told me that I just need to use orajel. Two days later my child's jaw stared to swell so I went to the dentist office to see if they will give him a antibiotic. They told me that the dentist could do that but would not do it because my child needed a shot to get a boost of the antibiotic and that I needed to go to are family doctor. So I called are family Doctor and took my child in to be seen by are family doctor and they told me that the dentist should of given my child the antibiotic and something for the pain my child is in. I made a few calls to find another dentist and when I found one that was cheaper they asked me if I could get the x-rays from the other dentist I told them that I should be able to get them. Well when I called to get the x-rays I was told that I could not get them until they could make copies of them and that they will not let the original leave the office so I called the new dentist up and told them what they had said and they called to get the x-rays well they were told that they could not get the x-rays until late the following week because they only make copies on Fridays only. So the new dentist called me back and told me that since Dr. Stratmann's office was being impossible that they were going to take there own x-rays and not charge me for them. I am a cash customer we do not have any dental insurance so we are having to pay for everything are selves. I just wanted to let other parents know that Dr. Stratmann is not a good dentist and not to take your child there because they DO NOT CARE ABOUT A CHILD IN PAIN and anyone that has ever had a tooth ache knows that they hurt a lot and for a child that pain is not good. My child's teeth are very important to me and there is no way that I will let my child be in pain due to incompetence. I also found out that Dr. Stratmann's office is way over priced compared to the other dentist that I called as a matter of fact they run around $100 to $150 more then other dentist around and there is no difference between the ones I called to get price quotes from. Please save your self some money and save your child from pain and go to a dentist that cares about your child's health and not about how much money they can get from the parents.
