The staff wonderful & the hygenist, Lillian terrific. The dentist Dr. Fernandez I found arrogant, insensitive, and lacked professional courtesy. After a complete set of Xrays and teeth cleaning, I first met Dr. Fernandez without an introduction, then he paused & introduced himself. Upon evaluating my mouth, he advised my top left back molar's cap was damaged. He explained it would take a minimum of 5 separate appointments to remove the crown, evaluate the natural tooth to see if it could be "built back up" but thought I would most likely lose the tooth. I asked if I lost the tooth what next, he said "You live with it" I asked what other options did I have and he said my sinuses made me a poor candidate for a transplant. Transplant? What is a transplant, he never advised other options or what a transplant procedure encompassed. Additionally, my bottom back molar had lost a sizeable composition filling and was showing additional decay. He suggested an additional 5 visits to perform a root canal and crown. Past dentists required 2 visits for a crown. When I asked why 10? he said, "That's my treatment you can take it or leave it." I asked him if he wanted the job he replied, "No, not really" He showed no compassion
out of 5 stars
