On referral from my primary dentist, I went to Dr. Thomas for an "evaluation" due to pain in one of my teeth. Dr. Thomas did not explain anything prior to working. He told me he thought I needed a root canal, and that the day of the evaluation he would remove the filling that was currently in that tooth. The procedure was extremely painful, and I was crying/hyperventilating during the procedure. Neither Dr. Thomas nor his staff cared that I was in pain. As I was trying to just get to my car, his office assitant handed me an invoice for the procedure (filling removal) and attached an estimate for a root canal and finance options. I went to my primary dentist a few weeks later and told him I would not be going through with the root canal due to the lack of care from Dr. Thomas and his staff. My dentist informed me that Dr. Thomas actually did the first step of a root canal. I feel he did that without even checking with me first.. I am now stuck with a hole in my tooth and the option of completing a root canal I didn't ask for or getting my tooth pulled. To top it off, I got a bill from my dental insurance because Dr. Thomas's office coded it incorrectly. I am now fighting with my dental insurance for coverage.
out of 5 stars
