Very disappointing experience. Dr. Pavlov gave me an estimate for 8,000 dollars worth of work (after insurance!) and my husband a similar estimate, including a very expensive whitening treatment that we had never even discussed and premium fillings (because he doesn't bother with the less expensive ones)! All this in spite of the fact that we have been seeing a dentist regularly throughout our lives. Even though our insurance covered 100% of cleanings, he found a way to charge us a fee on top of that (all 3 of our family members had to pay this fee). My husband needed a crown - Dr. Pavlov put one on, but it fell off within a few days. Dr. P. was on vacation at the time and told him not to worry. He ended up having to take more time off work to get a second temporary because the original didn't fit anymore. It was such a bad experience that we opted to pay out of pocket to go elsewhere rather than subject ourselves to his treatment any more.

I know this doctor: 8 months
