Dr. Michael Sullivan, Gaylord, MI
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.

Silverman, 4464 Carner Woods Drive, Cincinnati, OH, 45242
This office has repeated violated HIPPA by sharing information about patients' charts, even in front of other patients, without a right to be reviewing patients' records. Also, the receptionist/insurance staff person name Ashley is very unqualified, rude, & unresponsive. The office is a little sketchy.

Robeson & Robeson DDS, 4001 Whipple Ave NW #101, Canton, OH
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.

Ryan Hoehner, 1229 Napoleon St., Fremont, OH
In Feb. 2016 I saw Dr. Ryan Hoehner at Gentle Caring Denistry.for a crown on an upper molar My long time dentist recently went into partnership at this office and Dr. Hoehner, instead of my regulare dentist, was apparently assigned to do the work without informing me in advance. He told me that the decay was very deep but he could save the tooth and put the crown on without having to have a root canal. I paid him almost $700 after insurance for this work and was assured by him that I would have no further problems. Six months later this tooth became abessed. I went to a different dentist and was told that Dr. Hoehner had likely cracked the tooth allowing bacteria in. The tooth had to be pulled and I now face getting a bridge costing me an additiona $1,100 after insurance. I cannot say he knew he cracked the tooth, but my dealings with him was anything but reassuring. I do not recommend Dr. Hoehner or Gentle Caring Dentistry. I felt Dr. Hoehner rushed through each appt. with me and he and the office in general appeared more concerned about how many patients they could see in a day as opposed to the quality of care they gave their patients.
