My porcelain veneers are beautiful, but he didn't make them,his lab did . My enire appointment all he did is speak about himself and his problems with his staff and personal issues that I don't want to know about. He seems edgy and unfocused. He is very rough also. I have never had injections that hurt that much and both me and my friend (who is also a prior patient) had bruising and swelling after our appointment with him. I wasn't able to floss very well after my appointment with him. I was afraid to go back to him because he is so rough, in fact, he reminds me of someone who may be on medication or drugs. When I saw a new dentist to help me resolve my 'shredding floss' issue, he explained to me that 4 of my new veneers were fractured and would need to be replaced. Furthermore, he explained why my gum tissue was bleeding; multiple shards of cement and two open margins were left. I beleive that any dentist who has a staff turnover rate, like Dr. Ellicson does, must have issues that extend beyond 'normal'. Is he a good dentist? Maybe sometimes, but my experience is that people who drag their personal problems into work and lay them on their patients, aren't putting their patients first.
