Do not go to this dentist!!! I have been here twice in the last 2 weeks and both times I was not seen until over an hour past my scheduled appointment time. On my very first visit she barely spoke to me, neither to introduce herself or explain the outcome of her intial exam. She simply told me as she was exiting the room that I had cavities and to make another appointment. I returned a week later to have them filled and it was a horrible experience. Once again she barely spoke to me, she entered the room, grabbed my chin, turned my head to the side and said "open" and with no warning whatsoever, started injecting the novacaine into my gums. The rest of the experience was just as bad. If I relaxed my jaw a teeny bit she would roll her eyes and say "open" while tapping whatever instrument happened to be in her hand on my lower teeth until I opened my mouth as wide as I could. She seemed angry and annoyed the entire time. When she finished she simply got up and left the room. I didn't even know she was done until the hygenist told me to rinse and removed my bib. It was a completely dehumanizing experience. I have never felt so uncomfortable in my life.

I know this doctor: 14 days
