Jorge D Hernandez, DDS

I went to Dr. Hernandez because a filling fell out and I hadn’t yet found a dentist in the area. I needed someone who could see me quickly and would take my insurance, so that’s how I ended up with Dr. Hernandez.
They looked at my tooth and determined that I needed a crown. The filling I had was a really big one, so that didn’t surprise me. They suggested that I get a root canal, because I would need one on that tooth eventually. They also had someone in house to do it. I decided to go through with it, though I now wish that I hadn’t. After the root canal, they put on a temporary crown and sent me on my way. I had to go back several times to finish the crown process and finally get my permanent crown. When they were fitting my permanent crown I asked them if my tooth should hurt when I push on the side of it and if it would stop once they put the permanent crown on. The dental assistant was non-​committal. The Dr. stopped in for 2 minutes to fit the crown and then left again. On my way out they cornered me and asked me to write a Unilocal review then and there. I declined, because I didn’t want to feel pressured to write a good review.
It is now about a year later and the tooth they put the crown on still hurts. There is also a big gap between that crown and the crown on the tooth next to it that I had already gotten prior to the visit at this dentist. I do not think that they did a good job with the root canal (I’ve had them before, and I’ve never had lasting discomfort, nor have I had dental assistants be so cavalier when asking about something like that). Additionally, you get no time with the actual dentist. Compared to dentists I have had in the past I was really not impressed.
We have now found a new dentist, Dr. Deam, and I would highly recommend him. I think Dr. Hernandez and his staff are just like a factory and want to churn you out to make more money. They really don’t have any personal touch. I wouldn’t recommend this dentist.
