O’brien Daniel M DMD

I regret having to write this review, but I think others should be informed. First, the good. Dr. O’Brien is a nice man, and obviously very skilled. However, he talks so fast and assumes you understand everything he is saying at warp speed, I rarely know what he is saying about problems, treatments, etc. When you ask him to slow down or ask questions, he appears annoyed. He makes lots and lots of referrals for procedures (which he assures you he knows how to do, but would prefer you go elsewhere) and his referrals are in distant locations (CT, Harriman, etc.)-for folks in pain and with limited time constraints, this is impractical. Surely there are specialists in the MIddletown area who offer these services.
His office staff is a nightmare. They lie, plain and simple. They will tell you whatever it takes to get you in the office, and then say «oh, she should not have told you that, we cannot do that, or that is not what she said» and make you think you are nuts. Gaslighting.
Dentistry is expensive and I understand some of the reasons why. A good dentist is worth their fee. Dr. O’Brien charges more than average, in my experience, and not where I am going to spend my healthcare dollars.
