Dr Cruz was fine as a general dentist but he missed the crucial sign of my abcess earlier this year. I told him the symptons (temperature sensitvity, later on pressure sensivity) but he dismissed it as TMJ and told me to take pain killers. I endured pain for five days and gave him daily update but he still thought it was TMJ. The abcess was finally visible at the bottom of the tooth and i had to have emergency procedure to drain it.
