Was having a lot of discomfort after crown lengthening, suffering for five days which I was told is not normal. Made appointment for Dr. Coatoam to check the tooth. When he took the packing off I cried because it hurt so bad. He then announced that I was "being a big baby and exaggerating my pain". And I said "no I'm not, it hurts really bad! Then he said "it doesn't hurt and THIS IS ALL THEATRICS!" I told him "I'm in pain!" He said "you are not in pain you don't have a nerve there you had a root canal. It's just a little tender and healing beautifully." I said "I can't believe you are telling ME how I feel!" Then he said "SHUT UP AND OPEN UP!!" Shocked and toothless I did open my mouth because I didn't have a choice and he jammed his fingers in to place the temp crown back in the sore gap... But I felt violated. He then said he was releasing me back to the care of Dunwoody Dental (I love them there they are very caring) and the assistant tried to comfort me at that point and I said to her, "I know you know this treatment is not right, he told me to shut up!!" She said nothing but I'm sure it was bc she wanted to keep her job. What an uncaring person he is! He claims he is compassionate, well not today apparently!!! Do not go here! He is so FAKE! He thinks, "Take the money and run!" Also he makes sexist sounding remarks! I feel bad for his whole staff, who were wonderful. If it were possible I would give zero stars! Atrocious treatment. Unprofessional.
