I went to see this surgeon by referral from my dentist saying he was extremely successful at implants and a great surgeon my Dr. had worked with for years. First visit was for a molar extraction which had broken in 1/2. I waited 1/2 hour and once was in the chair he approached with very little conversation, injected with novacaine, and without any explaination of what was coming next, had my tooth extracted. He asked if I wanted to see it, that was our entire conversation. FOR A PERSON WITH DENTAL ANXIETY THIS IS NOT YOUR MAN NOR OFFICE! Though it is clear, he is an experienced surgeon, not the greatest bedside manner. Next, I consulted with him (per again my dentist recommendation) for an entire upper jaw reconstruction, 2 weeks later. I waited one hour for him, no polite apology, never inquired how the extraction felt and explained a 50K proceedure very flipid. Finally got out a model, and I understood. IT IS A BIG DEAL TO LOOSE ALL UPPER TEETH> I AM YOUNG>.At the end of the visit I was charged more than the original consult fee quoted because apparently I took more of HIS time (40 minutes) than estimated . Needless to say, I would never feel comfortable with this surgeon performing implants and expensive proceedures.
