I hate to leave a less-than-stellar review, but maybe some positive change can come from it. I am grateful to have a job where I make enough money that finances aren’t an issue. I paid for my treatments up front and didn’t have to discuss payment with staff much, but on the one occasion where future procedures were being discussed, I felt very pressured to agree and go ahead and get them scheduled and to pay up front, even though I wanted to wait.
My main issue with Dr. Kvitko and his assistants was pain. I have a pretty high pain threshold but there seems to be little regard for for patient comfort with this dentist. No gentle touch, no rinsing when tons of gross chemicals were being sprayed into my mouth. I had to swallow pieces of my old filling as he drilled them away because his assistant lackadaisically handled the rinse/suction equipment. At one point she accidentally stabbed me with the sharp instrument she held in her hand as she adjusted something in my mouth. It was painful and unexpected but there was no acknowledgment that she was sorry. In addition, Dr. K got visibly put off any time I moved my mouth or asked for rinse water or suction. He sighed in annoyance anytime my tongue had to relax for a moment while he was placing my crown. He was forceful in moving my tongue and jaw into his desired position, and along with the lack of proper water/suction, there were times during the procedure when I felt like I could not breathe.
I wish I hadn’t felt too uncomfortable to say anything directly to the doctor and his assistant at the time. I felt as if this feedback would not have been received well. They were so aloof. I’ve had positive experiences with other debatable assistants in his office, but overall I felt it was best to look for a new dentist.
