I contacted Dr Gamble's office for an emergency tooth extraction on April 1, 2022. I was informed that he could pull the tooth right then and head to the office I spoke with his sister whom is the only other person who works in his office. I arrived and paid my $100 cash had a pleasant conversation with his sister and explained that I had a bad abscessed tooth horrible pain up to my ear and my normal dentist said I should find someone to pull it because they were booked so I called them. I also explained that I had bad anxiety and that the novacaine made my heart race and feel flush.
I went back and the Dr did two shots, and I noticed that he did not wait any time for it to start working like at all my other dentist visits before so I was a bit apprehensive.
He said ok your going to feel some pressure which I felt but there was a sharp stabbing pain radiate down through my tooth and up my jaw. It was so horrible I began to cry out loud.
Dr Gamble immediately pulled away from my mouth and started to yell at me.
Said that there is no way that hurt. That I didn't know the difference between pressure and pain. I was over reacting. He has been doing this for years and knew what he was doing. Still yelling at me the whole time in my face. I was absolutely terrified. His sister was standing there and grabbed my hand to hold. He yelled at her as well telling her to get the heck out he would handle this, thank God she didn't leave I was horrified by what was happening. He kept yelling about trying to save me money and there was no way I could feel anything.
Meanwhile the pain was so intense I felt like I was going to pass out.
He said you want another shot! I nodded yes and he kept yelling and gave me another one. I should have just left at that point but I didn't know what had happened to my mouth because as he had applied pressure I heard something break so I was terrified not to finish the process.
So he gave me the shot and did not wait at all and started pulled. Yelling at me the whole time. I held onto that ladies hand so hard all the while enduring an even more horrible experience. He pulled my tooth out and I felt the whole thing. The lady handed my things as I got up to leave and as I left I heard Dr Gamble beginning to yell at the top of his lungs at his sister who stayed by my side to comfort me. Even inside my car I could still hear him yelling at her.
I have probably been to about 20 different dentists in my life and have never experienced something so horrible as this. I am honestly afraid he would do something to get me back for coming forward about this event but something needs to be done.

I had a small gap between my front teeth and decided to look into veneers or crowns, upon research of prices I went to Dr Gamble for a consultation. I would like to stress that I had nothing wrong with my teeth, this consult was solely for cosmetic purposes. Dr Gamble suggested I have all of my front teeth crowned... He was very rough, left my gums in a mess from drilling off my teeth in order to crown them. Once I got my new teeth, I felt they looked bucked and they were a lot larger than my original teeth. 7 months later, I was having pizza at a local restaurant where one of the crowns broke completely off! There was no more than a tiny peg remaining! Horrified I rush to Dr Gamble's office the next morning, he examined my tooth and said "it happens, you need a bridge"... He gave me a numbing injection and came back 5 min later and drilled my other two crowns in the front off in order to make one big bridge! I left his office devestated and charged an additional 1800.00, less than 5 minutes from his office the temporary teeth fell off, so back to his office I went, where he glued them again. This time they stayed on for 3 hours. I went for a 2nd opinion with another dentist in anther town, he said that my teeth hand been ground too small and nothing would hold, not a bridge, nor a crown! Sadly I am now seeing a surgeon to do surgical implant on the broken tooth and have the other teeth that Dr Gamble crowned "rebuilt" . This error is costing me thousands of dollars! If you value your teeth, do not go to Dr Gamble!!!!

My first visit I needed a root canal and 2 crowns. My crowns look like blobs they do not resemble teeth at all. He dropped a drill on my face and said gd it open ur mouth wider. He continued to cuss his assistant the whole time he worked on my teeth. Charged me 1800 and told me he couldn't do anymore work on my teeth til next year. By far my worst experience ever. He pulled my mouth so far apart it split the corner of my mouth.

Very cheap but made up for it with very painful treatment! He did not numb the area well at all and was very unpersonable! He pulled 3 teeth and did not even stitch up the gum! I now have very deep "trench" in area and malformed gum! My worst experience ever!!!
