I took my daughter to this dr bc she had 4 impacted wisdom teeth. Office smelled like an old old mobile home! There were flies in the light fixture in the bathroom. Lots and lots of them!! Dr NEVER used gloves when checking my daughter even though they were on a shelf although they had been removed from their sanitary carton and placed in a plastic thing. Office workers looked to still be in high school except for two nurses. Dr seemed to be "hitting" on my daughter when I returned to the room from the restroom as he was talking about wishing she could work there!! CREEPY to say the least!! Needless to say we left there and NEVER looked back! I would never ever even let this doctor work on my pet pig!!! I will look for another oral surgeon even if I have to go out of network and pay more.
AWFUL EXPERIENCE!went to have 2 teeth removed,was very rude,numbed both sides of my mouth (didnt think they were supposed to do that)and also did not wait until i was completely numbed, felt everything. and he broke both my teeth, said it would cost me more if a teeth breaks. my knowledge is that a tooth will not break unless its a bad tooth, or its an accident. stitches are all over the place and very painful. it has been a week and a day and i am still sore. not to mention my appt was at 2:45, wasnt seen til 4. he yelled at me cuz i was crying. well no**** i was crying! i was feeling everything he was doing!!! arent they supposed to ask if you can feel anything FIRST!?!?! he shot me like 10 times with the shot and started pullin n tugging. i wasnt completely numb til i left the dark gloomy creepy office. my insurance only pays for him. im going to demand i be able to see someone else!!!!!!! DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS DR!! i cant believe hes still in practice!!
I had to go to this surgeon b/c my health insurance wasn't accepted anywhere else in town. He was rude and obnoxious and so was his staff. He didn't introduce himself and he wore cowboy books with his scrubs. He hounded me about as to why I still had my wisdome teeth and tonsils. He gave me a hard time about my weight and asked me personal questions that were in no relation to my surgery. He also said that b/c of my weight he couldn't put me under b/c he didn't know if he could resuscitate me. What a way to make me feel comfortable! On the day of my surgery I was upset b/c I had never had any type of surgery before and quite frankly, he scared me! The nurses weren't friendly and barely said a word to me while they were hooking me up to the montitoring equipment. Dr Wallace came in and said that he wouldn't start until I "grew up, stopped acting like a baby and calmed myself down." I was so thankful when the surgery was over and I was still alive! I DO NOT suggest anyone go to this man!
What an awful experience! No one sells hello, and the doc did not even introduce himself. He did not know what tooth #17 was, nor even what my common heart med was. Tried to talk me into having all my wisdom teeth done, at age 47, regardless of complications, even though I only needed one out. The place is gloomy and dirty. I think the carpet there is original in this old building. The staff got all my insurance info wrong, and tried to charge me $75, when I had a $50 deductible. As I checked out, there was a pathology report facing me, right in front of me, of some man who had a diagnosis of squamous dysplasia of his tongue. Talk about HIPPA privacy violations!!!!!!I suspect these people there are all unhappy and underpaid. I did not schedule my surgery and paid again to go elsewhere. Please, go somewhere else if you can!
This was the most arrogant and hateful man and STAFF that I have ever come across. I came in for a consult for a tooth extraction due to fracture. I was right on time at 2 pm. Another guy came in 15 minutes after I did and was taken back. I asked the staff at 3 how long it was going to take. With no apology and with disgust she said he's in surgery. So around 3:30- my appt was at 2- I was taken back. He looked at the xrays from my dentist-who is nice- and said well it's a fracture and needs to come out and asked why was I there. I told him because novocaine didn't work and my dentist said to have me put under.I was told to do something about my weight and he wouldn't do it.At this time I'm upset and he walked out and said to make an appt.(NOT)So I went with the "lady" to make an appt and she asked if I was ok and I said no.She then walked out.She came back and said I have to pay for this.This place had water spots on the ceiling too. There's not enough room to describe all of this.
I had to see this doctor for a few tooth extractions. I am only in my late twenties but my teeth, due to a documented family history, are awful. I am also overweight. When I went in to see the doctor, he first told me I was lying about how much I weighed and asked me "if I was sure" I put the right weight on the form. Then he said he can do the work, which was extensive, but I cannot be put to sleep because he "doesn't know if he could save someone as large as I was" even though a man twice the size of me walked out of the office right before me and thanled him so much for letting him be put under because "he gets nervous at the dentist's office." I am assuming this dentist/oral surgeoun only likes to do work on thin, model-beautiful female patients, but with men, anything will fly. The office also kept asking if I had enough to pay even though I had already assured them I had MORE than enough. Jerks....you can't be fat or poor of you see this doctor!
Hiddeous, hateful, arrogant @$$. I actually went to him for wisdom tooth extraction over 20 years ago and got up and left. Took my son 5 years ago, same experience. They hound u for $ the entire time you are there, even if paperwork is done. He is a nasty, nasty hateful man. Do NOT go there.
