I met Dr. Abbott socially and even supported him heavily when he ran for school board in my city. I had a crown break and Dr. Abbott bragged he could make crowns in his office. I did not have dental insurance and the crown was going to be approx $1000 (this was in 2005) He would not allow me to make 2 payments had to do it all at once. # 2. Once the anesthesia wore off I was in total, total pain for 3 full days.. When I called the office, his little front desk girl called 800mg ibuprofen into the pharmacy but I never heard from Doctor Abbott.
Although the crown looked beautiful.. I was in total pain for 3 days with no contact from my dentist.. He just flat didn't care, had his money and that was all he cared about. It also felt like I had a vise grip on my tooth for a number of years. He traumatized my tooth so severely that the pain was excruciating.
A few years later I had a crown put on a different tooth by Dr. Barnhill and had absolutely zero pain and then knew this is how it should have gone with the first one.
