Dr. Wiczer has a good, comforting manner, and did acceptable work. Unfortunately, I found her office rushed and confusing. My first appointment, I found that I needed to have a bridge replaced. I spoke with her front desk, who told me that the procedure was cosmetic and would cost $4000. One very stressful day later (and a thousand calls to my insurance company), I learned that she was wrong, and the bridge would only be $1000. It bothered me that I never received an apology for this misunderstanding. Also, in retrospect, I believe I was rushed into the new bridge. I wasn't aware that it would involve reshaping two healthy teeth (my previous bridge didn't). We only spent a few minutes talking about it, and I didn't know that many dentists don't recommend reshaping healthy teeth, or that I had other options. Unfortunately, one of the previously healthy teeth became infected after reshaping, and I subsequently had to have a root canal. In retrospect, I should have gotten implants instead, or opted for a less-intrusive Maryland bridge. I will say that her work did look very good, cosmetically-- no one can tell it's a bridge! But I should have been more assertive about my care

I know this doctor: a few months
