I would NOT recommend going to see Dr. Alberto Cataneda as he is very unprofessional and rude. I had to have a filling in one of my teeth. He handed me a device with a button and advised that if I feel any pain while he is drilling to push the button and it will stop the drill and he will evaluate if I need further shots to relieve the pain. I pushed the button twice and upon the 2nd time I pushed the button he started complaining about my pain tolerance. Note: I have a pretty high pain tolerance but it was clear that I did not have enough medication to relieve the pain. He then proceeded to tell me about one of his patients which is a chiropractor next door to his office. He told me how the chiropractor was such a baby and had a very poor pain tolerance. My mother is now seeing him and she had to have dentures. She has been dealing with getting dentures since December. This is now over 6 months. She has paid them a lot of money and has yet to see an itemized bill. In addition, she has had to pano scans of her mouth. The 2nd scan was because they lost the first scan. Now I am curious if he has submitted the 2nd scan via her insurance. I will now be taking action on behalf of my mother and will be contacting the insurance commissioner and possibly a lawyer. I would also like to mention that her dentures DO NOT fit properly. He first told her that the first set was a temporary set. She did not receive the top and the bottom at the same time. When she receive the bottom teeth a few weeks ago, they were so BIG she looked like a horse. She scheduled an appointment and he proceeded to shave down the teeth and one side of the denture is almost completely wore down. He then told her that these are the permanent teeth and if she wanted another set, she would have to pay for them. Again, I will be taking action as he is taking advantage of her and it is obvious he doesn't care since her shaved down one side of the denture almost completely down. It is time to stand up for my mother and believe me, I will.
