I came to Dr. Bowne for a general checkup and was told I needed all of my fillings replaced. As I was leaving the office, Dr. Bowne casually asked me if using a 'white material' was ok with me. I said sure - as long as it was covered by insurance. He said it was. When I came back for my appointment he proceeded to drill down my two back molars for what I eventually learned were to be fitted with custom porcelian onlays. He never got my consent for this cosmetic procedure, never took xrays and had to use such force pulling out my silver fillings (which according to him were about to fall out anyway) that he severely cracked both of my teeth. Then he sent me home to wait for the onlays. I was confused because he never explained what it was he was doing to my teeth. I was also in excruciating pain. I went back to him and he sent me to a endodontist for two root canals. I also received a bill in the mail for $2,400, none of which was covered by insurance. This man - I can't call him a real doctor - is incompetent, a total rip off artist and only cares about one thing. Money. Oh, and of course his impeccable Gucci loafers. An astounding display of incompetence and avarice. Save your teeth and your money and don't go.
