The office is very small, w/o privacy of any degree. I only saw her 3 times. She replaced a crown that had come off, but did not fit it correctly so that it hurt for several weeks afterwards. When I mentioned this, she dismissed it casually, and did not offer to check it. Her attitude seemed cynical, patronizing. For example, she suggested I was a smoker, which I denied, then kept referring to me as a smoker -- that kind of thing. My real problem came when she repaired a visible cavity on the outside of one of my eye teeth. The filling was far larger than the cavity it replaced, and bulked out of the tooth, and was not matched at all to the color of the tooth, so it looked like bread stuck to my tooth. I asked her to bring it down more in line with the curve of the tooth, and she did but it still looked terrible. She did other teeth perfectly, so I don't know what the problem was. Obviously there was nothing she could do now about the color. It was grotesque, and I'm not exaggerating. I wrote a letter later explaining why I wasn't a happy patient. She made no comment. Now 2 years later a line of decay has appeared along the bottom where filling meets tooth. Other dentists have remarked on it out of curiosity. It's embarrassing.
