Mark Alexandrunas DMD

The dentist was over-​nice, trying a bit too hard, and I felt like I was visiting a used car dealer when I went for my cleaning. I had at least two requests to recommend them to friends for cash; a bizarre survey that was essentially asking me to recommend them to friends; and a seemingly endless barrage of extra products and services to buy, not to mention a dental plan of action that would have cost a king’s ransom. I live in Granville and they keep sending me junk, on what seems to be a weekly basis. They gave me a stack of their business cards with my name on them, like I was starting work for Amway. I want the dentist to be like any other doctor: I go in, get the work done, pay my bill and leave. Won’t go back, although the rock and roll hygienist did a nice job.
You know, I erased all my other negative reviews, but this is the one I’m going to let stand, since getting a bad pizza isn’t the same as a bad dental experience, and if I can save someone the pain (literally), then I think I have an ethical obligation to do so.
I had to edit this review again because I only alluded to how painful the work was that I had done here. I also noticed what looked like spam reviews that have been rightfully filtered by Unilocal and thought I should add additional detail to dissuade people from making my mistakes. Other than my cleaning done by the rock and roll hygienist (he has a well-​respected band in Columbus, and I hope he’s not there anymore), the dental work done by the doc was more painful than any I’ve ever had. Even my wisdom teeth being pulled was CONSIDERABLY less painful. If the government was trying to extract information from Al Qaeda operatives, they could do no worse than hiring the good doctor to make a trip to Guantanamo and work his magic. I seriously thought it would never end. I would rather light my fingers on fire than go back.
I have nothing against Dr. Mark personally, but I think he should have chosen a different profession. He would have made a heck of a salesman with his boyish good looks and penchant for sales: it’s never too late to change careers.
