Very sad experience. Dr. Sullivan performed a root canal on my number 13 molar. The root canals of this tooth are very narrow and extended. I warned the Dr. that I had a traumatic experience with elongated tooth roots which for teeth being extracted both as an adolescent and as a young serviceman in the Navy. Both of those times the dentists had a rough time with the teeth. The procedures lasted over 4 hours for the tooth when I was a child, and two visits over 3 hours each when I was in the Navy. Dr. Sullivan assured me that he was capable, and that his skill was superior. I believed him. After his first attempt at root canals on this tooth, Dr. Sullivan sent me home telling me that there wasn’t enough time that day to finish the procedure. Mind you I’m under the influence of sedation at this time. I told Dr. Sullivan that I would rather have the tooth pulled than go through another 3 hours in the chair. Amazingly I believed him again when he told me the reason he couldn’t finish was because of scheduling. He also said that he wanted to prove to his dental assistants he could finish the job! Being as high as I was on the anesthesia I made the poor judgement call to return. Two days went by with excruciating pain in my upper jaw. I was having to take Tylenol and Advil to relieve the discomfort. I went back to Sullivan’s office, asked AGAIN if it would be better to just extract the tooth, and he said it was his opinion he could save it, and this time he could finish the job and apply the cap. So I strapped on his gas mask and knocked myself stupid only to have the “Doctor” root around, stretch my jaw and break off half of what was left of the tooth. When I came to I distinctly remembered the snap, the dental assistant saying “Oh God!”, and the good Dr. scurrying away into another operatory. What was I told this time? Of course that I’d have to come back since it was the tooth’s fault it was so damaged that it cracked, and now he had to make a new cap with his machine. Stoned on the good Dr.’s laughing gas I told him “that’s okay, mistakes happen”. What an idiot I was. The laughing gas wore off and the Tylenol Advil routine lasted a week. I went back to Beacon Dental Center, this time for the last time, to finally get the remnants of my tooth capped. This time he squirted the glue in to fill the root canals, fixed the cap on the tooth, and away I went. Fast forward 5 years and I’m in the chair of a very competent dentist. The dentist asks if I’m in any pain and I mention the constant pain I’ve had on my left sinus area. I’ve felt this pain for three years. I’m shown the current X-ray of the area and the Dentist tells me that it’s not normal. The capped tooth is great work (machine made, remember) but there is stuff in the canals of Number 13 tooth that extend into the sinus. After visits to an Ear Nose Throat MD, Oral Surgeon and Endodontist specialists, I’m scheduled to have an operation to remove the so-called saved tooth, and resultant fistula created by the extensive overfilling of the Number 13 root canals with guttapurcha, the latex based root canal filling material. Predictably I could sue and win to recover the costs of these procedures, but the good Doctor has closed his practice, and is now enrolled in a school in Detroit. The lawyer I consulted doesn’t see that my case is strong enough to show the pain I’ve been living through since I trusted Dr. Sullivan. Of course there are risks to root canals. I accepted the possibility of a dry socket, and possible infection, but was re-assured by Sullivan that he’s done thousands of these procedures with no bad outcomes. General dentists can perform root canal procedures along with other dental procedures, but often they refer patients needing endodontic treatment to a specialized practice, who works in collaboration with your dentist. An endodontist is a dentist who specializes in saving teeth. Dr. Sullivan should have not touched that tooth after I warned him of the history of my other root issues, and certainly after he saw the roots narrowness and length.

I have been a patient at Eastern Dental for several years, and have had procedures ranging from normal maintenance, crowns, an implant and braces. The experience has been totally positive, and Dr Hoffmaster and Dr Wei are perfectionists who pay great attention to detail. The support staff is very professional, helpful and courteous. I can highly recommend Eastern Dental Of Burlington. Lisa B., Cinnaminson NJ

Avoid Dr. D'Alise and his Oakbrook Center for Dental Implants at all cost! Review his history on line first, I wish i had before getting ripped off and still having missing teeth. Dr. D'Alise has several complaints and license suspensions for incomplete and shady medical and billing practices according to numerous internet complaints and the better business bureu. I had one implant in December 2017 which failed and was promised to be replaced at no cost, it never was. I had two inpalnts in March 2018 that were never completed. Since the Dr retired without notice it never will be and he ran off with my money. Be ware though the office is still open and under his control. No effort to contact me or complete the work has ever been made. After contesting the charges through master card, I was informed that the Dr. was reached for a reply at which time he lied and stated that the work had been completed and no refund was due. I am out $7500 and still have no teeth. I now have to start over and pay twice. RUN RUN RUN and please tell everyone you know not to go near this guy. I am currently discussing felony charges for fraud with the Oakbrook police as well as speaking with a lawyer to file class action law suit against Center for Dental Implants toassist others who were defrauded.

Not sure when they will get back to me. I have been in the back room since 2:40. I arrived at 2:00 for my appointment. I just needed a crown reset and now have been sitting with guass in my mouth for 45 minutes. I got to overhear all about the dentist personal life from the hallway... not happy at all.

This review is specifically for DR. SARA RAMIREZ of Mission Hospital - Mission Viejo and Saddleback Memorial Medical Center- Laguna Hills. My rating would be a ZERO if there was an option. I hope this review will help save some soon-to-be parents from the experience we had. My husband and I are having our very first baby and as a first pregnancy it can be very stressful. This "doctor" was so dismissive about every concern we had and on top of it gave us FALSE and unnecessary test results; stating that our baby will absolutely be born with specific complications. When we asked Sara Ramirez for specifics on the test results, she was unable to give us clear answers and referred us to a genetic counselor. We met with a genetic counselor who was able to explain our test results in a more caring and precise way that made me and my husband less worried and more informed. Our genetic counselor who SPECIALIZES with this specific testing actually told us that chances were not as high or as problematic as the doctor told us they would be. That the test simply showed a non-specific abnormality and that it was too soon to be certain what it was, or if it would even still be there at full term. After talking with this specialist we were relieved! Already hesitant to continue my visits with Sara Ramirez, I figured I would give her the benefit of the doubt, thinking that she was having an off day... I had to schedule an emergency visit with her because I had gotten into a car accident and was hit pretty hard while stopped at a red light. Before talking with her about the details of the accident, she cuts me off, doesn't ask if I'm ok, and the first thing she says is "Oh you're fine, nothing to worry about." This was unsettling because she didn't check me or ask about the details of the accident. (I would have hoped for more care from the person I'm supposed to entrust with the health of my unborn child.) Sara Ramirez then asked how my appointment went with the genetic counselor and I told her that the specialist was very informative with the test results and that my husband and I felt comfortable and more assured moving forward with the pregnancy. Disregarding what the trained specialist told us, she then said, "you know that the test is 99% positive that your baby will have this 'specific complication'". She then continued to speak to me in a very demeaning manner as if I wasn't making the right decision. It was almost as if she was persuading me to get an abortion. I was baffled that this lady was questioning my decision even after I told her multiple times that I was going to keep my baby. This doctor seems more interested in preserving the idea that she is "right" in her conclusions rather than truly caring for her patients. If you want to feel worthless then "Doctor" Sara Ramirez is the perfect doctor for you. Otherwise, please don't put yourself through the same stress we had been put through with her ill-informed, uncaring and un-compassionate bedside manner.

I have seen this Dentist for many years. I had insurance when I worked and then paid for services when I retired. I purchased dental insurance and explained to receptionist that one of the dentists was in the plan and to make sure she filed it that way. She filed it incorrectly and that led to many calls to her and the insurance company. I never received payment as both the receptionist and insurance company bungled the claim. The receptionist never understood what was needed after several calls. It is their job to interact with the insurance and she simply never understood the situation and failed miserably. I cancelled the insurance and will never go back to Robeson + Robeson due to the incompetence of the receptionist. It was not the $$$ but my time wasted over this. They never offered to waive the fee and lost a patient of 3 decades.

I felt like I was being milked. Multiple appointments that resulted in little more than being seen for less than 10min and multiple cast! Negative attitude of the physician. He acted as if I had something contagious that he could catch. The bill is outrageous and every time I asked how much office visits were everyone said oh we don't know that!

It was the best dental experience I've ever had in my life. I do not dread future appointments as I have with other places. Love the staff. And the dentist was so professional. I can't believe I'm looking forward to my next appointment!
