Dr. Starks has a very poor chairside manner. He rushes procedures including major procedures and also talks down in a condescending way to his assistants while working on your teeth. My husband had a surgical procedure done where tissue grafts were transplanted in his mouth. He administered the anesthetic very roughly and didn't even wait for it to kick in before he began the surgery. Then he was rushing so, most likely because this was the last appointment of the evening and hurt my husband's mouth to the extent that he yelled. Dr. Starks then said outloud that he was rushing and needed to slow down. If this isn't a clear indication of this doctor's NEGLIGENCE and lack of care, then I don't know what is. We've been patients for 3 years now and we were displeased from the first appointment. We've just been patient and stuck with him hoping that it would get better and it's just got worse. We've since switched and are now seeing another dentist in the Medical Dental Building. Another thing to mention, if you ever need to rescheudle an appointment, you're looking at a minimum of 3 months down the road. They are too understaffed to accomodate.

About Hygienist: Selena - I have seen her about 5 times for regular cleanings and she has a bit of an attitude and not thorough in her work. If you're booked to see her, I'd highly recommend rescheduling for another hygienist but that may not be for 3+ months! Tracy - Very gentle yet thorough. She seems to be the only person worth seeing on this entire staff.
