This dentist caused extreme pain during extraction. Could not extract all teeth in planned visit. Had to return next day and he still could not deaden the area after NINE injections. Pulled tooth anyway saying that it had to come out. Unbelievable. He tried to bill me for teeth that were not even present to begin with, so he could get more money from me beyond the up front $4,300. He left a tooth that was supposed to be extracted and when the lower plate came in, he simply removed the tooth from the plate, telling me that is was "doctor's perogative," to leave the tooth in. A lie...He also told me that the other two teeth he left behind for lower support would be covered in the initial estimate. Lie again... I switched to another dentist in Seaside and wound up spending another $1000 plus. It's been over 36 months now and I just spent another $2,200 for another set of teeth. I've spoke to an attorney, but no help. Still pondering... DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS DOLT OF A DENTIST!!!!
