Very sad experience. Dr. Sullivan performed a root canal on my number 13 molar. The root canals of this tooth are very narrow and extended. I warned the Dr. that I had a traumatic experience with elongated tooth roots which for teeth being extracted both as an adolescent and as a young serviceman in the Navy. Both of those times the dentists had a rough time with the teeth. The procedures lasted over 4 hours for the tooth when I was a child, and two visits over 3 hours each when I was in the Navy. Dr. Sullivan assured me that he was capable, and that his skill was superior. I believed him. After his first attempt at root canals on this tooth, Dr. Sullivan sent me home telling me that there wasn’t enough time that day to finish the procedure. Mind you I’m under the influence of sedation at this time. I told Dr. Sullivan that I would rather have the tooth pulled than go through another 3 hours in the chair. Amazingly I believed him again when he told me the reason he couldn’t finish was because of scheduling. He also said that he wanted to prove to his dental assistants he could finish the job! Being as high as I was on the anesthesia I made the poor judgement call to return. Two days went by with excruciating pain in my upper jaw. I was having to take Tylenol and Advil to relieve the discomfort. I went back to Sullivan’s office, asked AGAIN if it would be better to just extract the tooth, and he said it was his opinion he could save it, and this time he could finish the job and apply the cap. So I strapped on his gas mask and knocked myself stupid only to have the “Doctor” root around, stretch my jaw and break off half of what was left of the tooth. When I came to I distinctly remembered the snap, the dental assistant saying “Oh God!”, and the good Dr. scurrying away into another operatory. What was I told this time? Of course that I’d have to come back since it was the tooth’s fault it was so damaged that it cracked, and now he had to make a new cap with his machine. Stoned on the good Dr.’s laughing gas I told him “that’s okay, mistakes happen”. What an idiot I was. The laughing gas wore off and the Tylenol Advil routine lasted a week. I went back to Beacon Dental Center, this time for the last time, to finally get the remnants of my tooth capped. This time he squirted the glue in to fill the root canals, fixed the cap on the tooth, and away I went. Fast forward 5 years and I’m in the chair of a very competent dentist. The dentist asks if I’m in any pain and I mention the constant pain I’ve had on my left sinus area. I’ve felt this pain for three years. I’m shown the current X-ray of the area and the Dentist tells me that it’s not normal. The capped tooth is great work (machine made, remember) but there is stuff in the canals of Number 13 tooth that extend into the sinus. After visits to an Ear Nose Throat MD, Oral Surgeon and Endodontist specialists, I’m scheduled to have an operation to remove the so-called saved tooth, and resultant fistula created by the extensive overfilling of the Number 13 root canals with guttapurcha, the latex based root canal filling material. Predictably I could sue and win to recover the costs of these procedures, but the good Doctor has closed his practice, and is now enrolled in a school in Detroit. The lawyer I consulted doesn’t see that my case is strong enough to show the pain I’ve been living through since I trusted Dr. Sullivan. Of course there are risks to root canals. I accepted the possibility of a dry socket, and possible infection, but was re-assured by Sullivan that he’s done thousands of these procedures with no bad outcomes. General dentists can perform root canal procedures along with other dental procedures, but often they refer patients needing endodontic treatment to a specialized practice, who works in collaboration with your dentist. An endodontist is a dentist who specializes in saving teeth. Dr. Sullivan should have not touched that tooth after I warned him of the history of my other root issues, and certainly after he saw the roots narrowness and length.

I am dying because of Dr. LaVille. I saw this man for twelve years. I never missed an apt. for anything. About four years ago I questioned a growth on my check. He dismissed it as me chewing on my cheek in my sleep and offered to make me a set of night guards. I told him that he made me a pair two years ago. Then he said, well maybe your crowns need contouring. On my last visit to his office, I asked him to look at the growth on my cheak. He said,"that is nothing to worry about." One month Later, I was told at MD Anderson Cancer Center, that I had about a year to live and that it would be a hard death. I chose to do life extension Chemo and radiation at the same time to try and save my life. Now I'm in palliative care therapy. Keeping me comfortable until I dye. Many other doctors who treated me after doctor LaVille were shocked at his gross negligence to biopsy such a large tumor. I would not ever recommend this man who practices dentistry. I wouldn't even refer to him as a doctor.

Money hungry and greedy. She doesn't pay her staff for travel to Barrow once a month all year. She doesn't pay for any medical or dental. She also does unnecessary work and her billing is also questionable. She is a POWER hungry lesbian who doesn't care about her staff or clients who owe her money. I have seen first hand that she treats patients who owe her money badly and treats the people who have insurance and money better. I have also seen her bill out for a $500.00 extraction when in fact, it was an easy extraction and should of been billed out at just over $100.00 and YES, the insurance company did want verification why it was billed out at the more expensive rate. I would never in a million years go have treatment done by this woman.

I would like to do another review for Dr. Howard Chasolen: Especially Of my serious mistake of going to Dr. Howard Chasolen in the first place,as I was given a referral to have the extensive ,serious and precision work that I needed, "BUT the referral was given to me as to see Dr. Chasolen" -and when I googled to find the address- I confusingly went to Dr. Howard Chasolen,not realizing that there was in fact a Dr.Ginger R Chasolen unbeknown to me as the google search just showed Dr.Howard Chasolen's address. However- When I did see Dr.Chasolen- I Questioned him as to the two names being the same -and if they are working together? He responded by saying they were married at one time -and that she should not be using his name in a profession manner- as was supposed to be from the final decree, so I assumed I was at the right address and with the right Dr. I still- "to date after making several requests and attempts to have him return the dental model,molds, and most importantly the failed screw-in inferior 12 unit bridge that he still has -But earlier in the game of the misleading events he stated not to worry that he was sending it back to the (Discounted ) lab located in California for a full refund- as they failed on the 10 attempts to make the unit -even though they kept on making the ten same mistakes over and over. Truth of The Matter is -that he no longer has it (but he told me on one occasion that he did not send it back and that he still has it trying to make me believe that the Lab kept all the money in which was part of the $38,190.00 that I paid to him long before the lab work was ever started. So in reality -the Lab got the shoddy work back and minus any of my money "as should be for their mistakes" So again learn from my epic mistake, that I unfortunately made and do not ever give 100% of the dental bill before the work is ever started ,and do diligence including where the lab is located, and please do not let 95% of the work ever be performed by an assistant "and to go on for 2 yrs." the assistant did do nice work -but my work needed full time by Dr.Chasolen -And shame on me for not doing as -the 5 dentist that I paid for on 5 different consultations- and that they could not do the work that I so desperately needed but said most importantly" in telling me to seek only a Prosthodontist to attempt the work that I needed" Dr. Misch that did all my extensive front bone graft and implants- stated to me that his wife is a Prosthodontist and that she could not take on such a endeavor, let alone a assistant do the 95% of my case that took 2 years and turned out to be a disaster and never any attempts to correct my issues, even them chipping a 1 yr. old molar crown,while being treated at Dr. Chasolen's office -and Dr. Chasolen having the gumption to charge me $3,000.00 to remove the chipped crown as he stated would make the lab wk.easier.I also paid $550.00 twice for a guide that was lost in Dr. Chasolen's possession. In short really I received "Sub-Treatment From My 2 yr.old nightmare"

I'm not sure how Jessie represented my situation to you Dr Bruno, only you & Jessie are privy to that information. I called Dr Urbanski first, but because I hadn't had my 1st appointment with her & she didn't have my medical history to review, she not only couldn't prescribe pain meds, she couldn't even prescribe Tylenol for me. She urged me to call you & assured me you would prescribe something for my pain. NOT. As Jessie informed me, she has & I quote "BEEN" with you for 8 years & she has never known you to prescribe a pain med for any patient under your care. I only reqested 2 pain meds to get me thru the night until I had my appointment with Dr Urbanski the next morning. She rearranged her whole schedule the next day so she could treat me medically. I didn't need a lecture from Jessie about the opiate crises in this country. All she had to tell me was that Dr Bruno doesn't prescribe pain meds. I had another option, the ER. Skip the lecture from Jessie. Within an hour I would have been administered a pain med & had a script called into my pharmacy. Dr Bruno, you never call your own office as a patient, perhaps you should have your Mother, your Wife's Mother or an Aunt call & ask to talk to Jessie. I could write down pretty much my everything I said to Jessie. You could find out what their response to the way they were treated. Ultimately, you are responsible for the care & comfort of your patients.

Was an Employee of Dr Duling and I was never given complete direction on how to complete a task I was asked to do. She seemed to think since I was in the industry for so long I should know how to do everything in the office,not just the job I was hired to do . When I asked questions I was treated like I was stupid, and then my rating as an employee went downhill. So then I was let go on the first time I was confronted with the problems she had with me. Her Dentistry is good but very expensive, and she seems to focus more on sleep apnea because she can win a big bonus if she works with this sleep Dr and sends so many pts to him for a sleep review

Just moved back to PA and researched carefully. Chose Dr. West at Garden Spot Dental. Could not be happier. First visit and cleaning in May. Lost part of tooth and big filling over weekend. They took me first thing Monday and actually got me out in 2 1/2 hours with a perfect fitting new crown fashioned by a machine right in office. Sweet. Love modern dentistry. Excellent support staff and high-end dental assistants. I made the right choice.

Dr Belani may be an amazing dentist, but a first-time patient would never know it because they would have to deal with the FRONT DESK. My first visit has been nothing short of a circus right from the first phone call to set it up. The hubby set up the appointment, then I got a call from the office denying that I was even in the system. It took about 2 hours during my work day to sort that out. Then, they could not accurately give their own address, so I had to spend over an hour driving around town looking for it. Next up, they took x-rays and gave me a referral to an oral surgeon. 2 weeks between my visit to Aurora Dentrix and my appointment with the surgeon, and nobody could be bothered to send the x-rays over. How hard is it to hit the send button? Surgeon's receptionist called them, once again, they denied I was even in their system. I had to call from the waiting room and yell at AD's front desk person. She finally admitted the mistake, and I had to yell at her to send the x-rays. What a frackin freak show! I am looking for another dentist as I type this.
