I went to Dr. Kafko last year because I didn't have a dentist and he took our insurance at the time. I have never posted a negative review before in my life, but I was literally traumatized by this man. He informed me that I had cavities (my first ever) that I had to have filled. I told him I'm a terrible needlephobic, so he "tried" to give me a partial nerve block with fewer shots to drill them which didn't work. When I jerked in the chair from the excruciating pain when he started drilling, he didn't believe that I could feel it. His disbelief persisted despite the fact that my body was overtaken with tremors and I was crying uncontrollably. It was only when the nurse shouted, "Doctor! She's going into shock! " did he relent in his torture and said " I wasn't trying to hurt you!". He then had to do a full 4 shot nerve block to drill all over again. I locked myself in the bathroom for 15 minutes before regaining my composure to leave-- totally out of character for me. This morning I was informed by my wonderful new dentist Dr. Fred Grapel that he must redo the shotty fillings that Dr. Kafko did a year ago.

I know this doctor: 1 year
