Smyk-Fidel Ewa, DDS

This is an experienced dentist with a good touch, she has a calming effect on me.
I hate to be treated by hyper people. Her office is clean and modern and her fees are reasonable.
Twice she recommended me to an oral surgeon specialist who was also tops.
I moved away from the neighborhood but I come back to this dentist when I need to.
My former landlord told me she treated her 85 yr old mother at no charge.
I would recommend Ewa Smyk-​Fidel to anyone who is looking for a long term
dental care relationship.

At first, she pretended to be friendly and competent, but personal demons must have gotten the best of her. Just before she was about to complete the procedure to put a crown on an implant (a screw that takes the place of a missing root after the tooth has been extracted) she approached me with a miniature 2-​plated garden hoe-​like instrument and viciously gouged the inside of the tooth socket, grabbing and twisting the main lower-​left jaw nerve in the process, causing so much pain that I couldn’t breathe or move. She later denied there were any nerves there at all. She then put on the crown seconds later and, assuming she knew what she had done, I said nothing, and left her office. The crown was also loose. Pain and infection followed for the next several months. When I summoned up enough courage to speak to her and described the pain I continued to feel, she clenched her fist defiantly while saying the words, «It’s a tightness.» I got her to remove the painful crown, and she followed that up by saying another tooth in a different location was cracked, and I said okay, to fix it, and she reached into my mouth and barely brushed the tooth with her finger. She then pushed a blue piece of plastic with a light in and out. The whole thing was bogus, and she ripped me off for $ 120. She also refused to return my $ 1700 after removing the crown from the completely infected surface. She had said that she needed to break the crown off, since it was loose. But it could have probably been tightened without breaking it off, I later learned. Turns out both she and the oral surgeon (who had placed the implant as the base for her subsequent crown) would later deny there was an infection, or that the crown was even loose, implying I had made up the whole story about there being any problem at all with the crown and implant, even though he once TOLD ME IT WAS LOOSE A MOMENT BEFORE WIGGLING IT WITH HIS TWO FINGERS. Suing in small claims court usually requires an «expert witness» that costs $ 5000, so I doubt I will get my money back. Fidel did this to me in March, 2009, and the low-​level but persistent infection-​type pain is still with me.
And it wasn’t funny, a-​h.
