I was kept waiting almost two hours for a scheduled appointment. I could hear "screams" coming from the treatment room while waiting. The receptionists spoke to each other in Russian and were reluctant to answer my questions about anything. They did not accept personal checks and required payment "up front" in full before I was even seen for treatment. The office was dirty. When I asked the Dentist whether the anesthesia he used was Novocaine, he told me "Novocaine was never used. It had been out of use for the past 15 years." I saw this as a very bad sign: obviously because this is not the truth. The Dentist sprayed water from the drill all over my face and when I went to wipe it off he told me, "Don't bother, plenty more to come."
This was a terrible experience, sort of on the level of Marathon Man. I could not wait to get out of there. I felt disrespected and understood how many of my own patients feel at the mercy of "Medicare Mills." This was an experience worth of nighmares and little else. I changed my practitioner immediately thereafter and would not recommended this practice to anybody. I never met Dr. Polin, and have no idea whether she exists. L.P.
out of 5 stars
