Good luck with this one. He is what everyone fears in a dentist. He wouldn’t listen to me, didn’t ask about my history, and even though I was TOLD I needed a root canal by the dentist I went to while visiting my parents out of town, he insisted that the immense pain I was feeling and subsequent TMJ(which had he checked my history, he would have known was acute and something I suffer from constantly) would be fixed by ammoxicillin and a couple pain pills(which I didn’t want, I wanted something to relax my jaw). His staff insisted on a full set of x-rays when I went in, and I said no, I had just had them done at the previous dentist, and they seemed to be upset that I wanted to focus only on the problem tooth. In short, not only did he NOT fix my problem, but it left me worse off, and I had to visit another doctor an hour later who shockingly put effort into feeling my jaw, and understanding my history and did finally help me. So, visit Dr. Hatley if it’s free. Visit him if the world falls apart and you need a tooth cleaning. Just don’t visit him if you have any other option.
