Dr. Uyeda was my dentist for 3 years from 1993 to 1995. I took my mother (who had no insurance) for a check up. He recommended removing all her lower teeth and placing a full lower denture. He charged $2,000 for this procedure. We went to his office every week for two months. My mother went through extreme pain and discomfort, lost weight and suffered at his hands. She would bleed profusely could not sleep at night due to the pain she was in. The denture was useless because Dr. Uyeda did did not size it correctly. When my mother returned home to her regular dentist he indicated that most of her teeth should not have been removed as there was nothing wrong with them and my mother had to pay for a new set of dentures. Dr. Uyeda reimbursed around $375 for the botched job - hardly adequate especially considering the pain and suffering my mother went through. I will live with the guilt of letting this "dentist" torture my mother for the rest of my life.
