Recommended expensive treatment not needed. He insisted I needed a root canal and sent me to his friend, the specialist, who agreed. I got a second opinion and the other dentist told me I didn't need a root canal, and I didn't have an abcess. I went without treatment and the discomfort went away in a couple of weeks. I returned to Dr. Culver and he insisted that he and his friend could not have been wrong, that I still needed a root canal. I stopped going to Dr. Culver. That was 1993 and the tooth hasn't bothered me since. I sure am glad I got a second opinion. I believe Dr. Culver is an aggressive salesman of his services, and does not put his patients' needs first. Later, my family had similar experiences with Dr. Culver and all stopped going to him as well.
