Dr. Michael Sullivan, Gaylord, MI


Rating: 1 out of 5.

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.

Robert Testen, 20500 Seneca Meadows Parkway, Germantown, MD


Rating: 1 out of 5.

At this office, it really doesn't matter if the dentist is good or not - the office manager and billing practices are so horrible it will make your run screaming! They don't know how to bill insurance correctly, then blame the insurance company. They never send you a bill and then send you nasty messages saying you didn't pay the non-existent bill, then they send your account to a collection agency. It took them over 14 months to send me a bill - even though I was in the office during that period and asked if I owed them and could I pay - I was told no. It's just not worth it - there are probably hundreds of good dentists in this area, so find one whose office management isn't scary than multiple root canals!! :o

Dr. Murat Atli, 24000 Alicia Pkwy #18, Mission Viejo, CA


Rating: 5 out of 5.

I had not been to a Dentist in decades. Like many others I dreaded the prospect of going and luckily had no pain until it finally happened, I took a bite of food with a hidden bone inside and broke a tooth. The throbbing pain wouldn't stop so I called a friend for a referral and they could not stop, or slow down, the amount of amazing praise for Dr. Murat Atli. They went on about how "Lucky" I was and how much "Fun" I would have and that I was in for a "Great Experience". So at this point I'm thinking I've got to remember to have my friend looked at for mental health issues as soon as I get rid of the excruciating pain I was in. The tooth was so shattered it needed to be extracted piece by piece. Not normally an event one looks forward to experiencing however my friend wasn't looking so crazy as Dr. Atli's bedside manor was truly refreshing. In this age of go fast next patient, now next hurry hurry he took time to alleviate my fears and explain all that would occur and the changes since I'd last seen a Dentist. The process was truly remarkable, I did not feel shots to numb the area nor the stitches placed once removed. I felt only the pulling sensation when removing but No Pain, simply Unbelievable. Dr. Atli was Professional, Accommodating, Enlightening Caring and yes Fun. A Wicked sense of humor he definitely has. I now go out of my way to reccomend to friends, family even strangers the Amazing Dr. Atli. I've handed a business card (I keep some with me crazy as it sounds.) and even hand introduced people to this Brilliant, Talented and Very Rare Special Man on numerous occasions. I have never had a bad experience with and I Highly Recommend Dr. Murat Atli ! ! !

Dr Robert LaVille, 95 Mathews Blvd., Lafayette, LA


Rating: 1 out of 5.

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.

Robin Nickleson, 30 East 60th Street, New York, NY


Rating: 5 out of 5.

I'm a physician, so I know that finding a good dentist is very very important. Robin is the most talented dentist I've had in decades. She's smart, fast, and clear. She's not a big schmoozer--if that's what you want to pay for,--but she's plenty pleasant and pleasantly direct. She replaced a crown for me and got it in one take. I've got a strange bite so it's usually hours of grinding to get a so-so fit. I was amazed! It's the best fit I've ever had. Sincerely, G.H.Beachum, MD

Dr saxena, Burlington, NC


Rating: 2 out of 5.

The front office staff is much much better than the last time I was there. Brittany is friendly, professional and helpful! A lovely girl all around. My cleaning was very expensive but very good nonetheless. Amy did a great job and her expert evaluations gave me a lot of confidence. BUT . . . I cannot help but feel that Dr. Saxeema is in this strictly for the $$$$$$. Clearly, the actual care and wellbeing of her patients is a distant second place to revenue. I have an extremely busy work schedule so booking and keeping appointments is very tough for me. On top of an expensive cleaning of $271, Dr. Saxena pointed out additional work that was very important and needed to be done. The additional work totaled about $700. Along with the cleaning $, this was considerably more than I had budgeted for that day's visit. I offered to pay for half of the additional work right then on top of paying for the cleaning and commuted to pay the balance in two weeks with an automatic CC payment. NOPE . . . Full payment takes a front seat to care & need of her patient as well as consideration for her patients time. Dr. Saxeema turned my offer down because she wants every penny right then and there despite my need for relief. This tells me that my actual dental needs and oral health are less important than how fast she gets her money! Basically, it was made clear that the Dr thinks I'm a deadbeat. That I would cheat her out of $350 even with numerous follow up visits and much more dental work to follow. This was a bad business decision . . . Really unbelievable. I cannot trust a professional that makes such small minded business decision. I will have my records moved to a doctor that cares as much about my health and time as they do about lining their pockets. My girlfriend is moving to another dentist as well.
