DO NOT DO IT. This dentist pippin ,pulled a tooth for me I got a infection .

I think well It happens .I pay to have a tooth filled he gets the wrong tooth .What is the chance of that happening ??? It is the last tooth in the back the very last one exray was took of that tooth .I call I say you got the wrong tooth He denies it says that was the right one . I guess being nice does not always pay .so I say well Sir I heard you talk to the assistant and ask did you get the wrong one ? I did not know then you where talking about me but I do now .He laughs and says well you can't always be sure of these things .That I can come in and he can fix it . really I thinking o.k. this guy has made 2 mistakes but wants to make it right .I WAS WRONG he wants to charge me but atleast he could get me right in . No Thank you It is untelling what would happen next Infection first time second time wrong one . I know many people in this area . I will tell them all first hand but to anyone just looking on the internet for their next dentist please people look else where . It is not worth the sedation cause it wears off and your left out alot of money and in more pain than what you began with . I called my good buddy the lawyer but it really is not worth the court cost so instead I am just writing this TRUTHFUL review to save some one from the same thing or worse . I did find out from a friend that august 31 01 until around oct. 02 {That is a full year } he practiced dentistry without a liceans .Next time I will look better before I go to the dentist for anyone intrested read below .P.s. Thank you lawyer buddy for the info and talk again to you soon .MAYBE ????

disciplinary action before and by the Board of Dentistry is authorized:
