I was referred to Dr. Meeks, who is an oral surgeon by my regular dentist to get my wisdom teeth removed. He seemed more than pleasant at my inital consultation, and even the day of the procedure. However, 3 days after the surgery, I could still not swallow, eat anyting etc. and was in a ton of pain. I demanded he see me, even though he didn't want to. He literally called me a drug addict and said I was "milking this" so I could get more pain pills. I just wanted to know what to do to make the pain stop, and was this normal. He went on with stories about, how he has prescribed pain meds for NON patients, how his patients have sold meds, etc. Eventually, he said, fine your in pain, this will make it stop, and prescribed DEMEROL! I objected saying I didn't want demerol, but he refused to prescribe anything else. At the end of the appointment (who I went to with my mother), I was crying, he was acting aloof, and then before I left he said I should bring any remaining pills back. Now a month after the surgery, my sockets have opened up from a raging infection, I am still in a ton of pain, and am so swollen I can't talk/eat/drinks,etc.
I did some research after the fact and boy do I wish I had done it BEFORE! DO YOUR RESEARCH!!
I know this doctor: 2 months
