I have visited Dr Gara three times. I was recommended to him by my dentist Dr Kadosh for gum work. On the first visit, he examined my teeth and gums. I expressed my concerns and my anxieties. He made me feel relaxed and explained to me everything I wanted to know. He performed a deep cleaning on my upper left quadrant on my second visit and it went well. Also during my second visit he prescribed 500 mg Amoxicillin and 250 mg Metronidazole three times a day for one week. I had strong reservations about taking these drugs. And Dr Gara did NOT alleviate my concerns. I decided not to take the prescibed drug regimen until I spoke with him again. At the start of our third meeting, I asked if it was possible to lower the dosage and extend the treatment. I also asked if a topical treatment was an option. Dr Gara was absolutely committed to his approach without taking into consideration how the drugs might effect the rest of my body. I mean, if the drugs produced sickness, or if I suffered an allergic reaction, then Dr Gara would have to prescibe a different approach. So why wouldn't he work with me to determine a safe and effective medicinal approach to treat an apparent infection of the gums? I am looking for another periodontist.
