Woodhaven Family Dental

WORST DENTIST EVER !!!
I had a really bad toothache in May 2014,
There was throbbing & pulsating pain in my tooth, mouth, jaw and cheek. It would come & go in severity but I couldn’t eat at all.
So I went to Woodhaven Smile Center & had a checkup and full mouth X-​rays taken for $ 125. Reason for visit was a very painful & throbbing toothache pain that got infected in my lower left back «Wisdom Tooth» with a huge cavity in it that needed to come out! The dentist gave me antibiotics for the infection & ibuprofen for the pain but I still needed to schedule a surgery appt as my wisdom tooth needed to come out asap.
He also told me that as per the x-​rays, I grind my teeth while I slept and I needed to be custom fitted for a mouth guard that would cost me $ 300 !!! The pain persisted and I couldn’t wait for the tooth to come out.
When the time came for the dentist to extract the wisdom tooth, the surgery cost me $ 525 which was EXTREMELY PAINFUL & he had no «bedside manner». It felt as if he hadn’t given me any novocaine at all. The surgery lasted for what seemed to be forever! I kept tearing up and grunting when the pain became unbearable! He didn’t even stop or ask me if I was okay. He just continued to torture me.
Once it was finally over, he prescribed more medication but it wasn’t working this time. He told me that once the tooth came out, the pain would go away but it didn’t. It just grew more & more intense! My husband finally had to go back and ask the dentist for a stronger prescription because what he initially gave me wasn’t working at all. I was in more pain now than I ever was before the tooth came out. He actually have my husband a hard time and told him I didn’t need a stronger dose and that the pain should subside in a matter of days but my husband was smart and did mot give up — he made a scene in front of the other patients waiting to be seen and demanded stronger meds or else he wasn’t leaving !! He finally gave in and my husband left with the new prescription. HOW DARE THE DENTIST ASSUME TO KNOE THE KIND OF PAIN I WAS IN !!!
The facilities aren’t private at all either. The receptionist who is also the dentist’s wife is very unprofessional and highly untrained. She does not respect privacy issues as everything she was advising me of, the other waiting room patients had to be privy of as well. As if I wanted them to know my business! She was hard to understand with the heavy accent she has. Whenever the dentists overhears someone giving his wife I hard time, he peeps his head out to spy even if he’s working on a patient already since there are no separate patient rooms — everything is out in the open with absolutely no privacy!!!
I finally went back a week later to have the stitches removed but at least there was no charge for that! NEVER going back there ever.
