Dr. Roschkowsky gave us OK routine care for years, but he was worse than useless for serious problems. At first we liked his low-key manner, but now we realize that the calm manner is reatlly just indifference and lack of concern. One family member lost a tooth unnecessarily. He complained at every appointment that a certain tooth gave pain every time it was used, but there was never any follow-up. No additional xrays or even additional questions or comment at all. It turned out that the tooth was cracked, and by the time the pain became so great it couldn't be ignored, it was way too late to save the tooth. An implant was necessary, and so several thousand dollars of prosthodonture (from another dentist) later, the patient can use that tooth again. During treatment by the other dentist, Dr. Roschkowski's indifference and lackadaisical attitude became much more apparent by comparison. The spouse refused to believe anything bad, but saw the light when a filling simply fell out. There too, another dentist revealed that the filling had been badly done and had fallen out because it had allowed continued rot to accumulate underneath the filling. Her gum had even grown over into the space under the filling. Never again!
