I had a very traumatic experience with Dr. Sims. He failed to realize I had an abscess (even after several visits and multiple x-rays). He randomly decided that my tooth had a crack & needed a crown. He tried to numb my tooth for the procedure, but he couldn't get it numbed. He pushed his needle right through my abscess while physically holding me down in his chair! I have a high tolerance for pain, but this was absolutely beyond excruciating. He left the room (with me trying frantically to regain my composure & stop crying) to look at the same x-ray he'd already viewed & returned to tell me he now realized I had an abscess! Somehow the diagnosis of a "crack" went away completely & now I would need a root canal! Every appt I ever had with him left my face looking like I'd been in a fight; all swollen & pulled from multiple injections. In stark contrast, the endodontist who did my root canal left my face looking as if I'd never even been in his office, & the tooth that Dr. Sims couldn't numb was perfectly numbed with one shot.
His office is archaic & cramped. My head was bumped every time the assistant exited the room. His hygienist is horrible; she poked through my gum, never cleaned above my bridge, & yapped incessantly.
