| - From start to finish, nothing felt right about my consultation experience here...
I pulled up & the main parking lot has 4 spaces, which seemed pretty strange to me.
I got out of my car & walked in & it was a very dark lobby, which isn't very welcoming. As I walked in, Carly Fiorina greeted me on the big screen TV! (haha she *was* on the TV, but it was part of a report, not to actually greet me! HAHA) I walked by the TV & to the reception desk & the receptionist was nice & seemed competent (best part of my experience). She had everything needed & just had me fill out the paperwork.
I sat down (alone in the lobby) & saw that the TV was tuned into Fox (so-called) News, so that was a huge negative. At least have it on something neutral for patients! CNN for news or something else entirely, but not garbage like that... But that's beside the point...
I got into the exam room & the nurse was really friendly, but, as much as I hate to say it, didn't seem very competent for a medical setting. I had to take my earring out & I'd set it on my paperwork w/ my keys on the counter. We discussed unusual keys & I pointed out my apt key, which is pretty unique, & she picked up my keys & knocked my earring on the floor. Which happens, I suppose, but she didn't even notice it until I got up & got it myself.
Then the Dr came in & he had either wet or clammy hands when he shook my hand. He had my X-ray & asked me why I think I need surgery. Well, a Dr can see that I need my jaws worked on, but he wants me to tell him some mysterious keywords to point toward surgery. I've been dealing w/ this for most of the past 20 years or so, so I shouldn't need to explain to him why I need it. He should look & see that my teeth are being destroyed without surgery!
He eventually decided I don't need surgery & suggested that I have my orthodontist grind down my GOOD teeth, instead, to match the worn teeth! The point of a GOOD dentist, orthodontist, oral surgeon, in MY opinion, is to SAVE your teeth, not DESTROY them further!
Needless to say, I don't care that he didn't deem me worthy of surgery since I wouldn't allow him to do more than a consultation w/ me anyway! He seemed like he was working w/ the insurance companies to save them the $$$ of surgery rather than trying to help find the best thing for me!
Fortunately, it was suggested that I have consultations w/ 2 different drs! Pagani was a definite NO! Dr. Sabol was my other consultation & was more highly recommended & I was very impressed by Dr. Sabol's consultation, so I'd suggest you check out Sabol & Golding's office & skip the Pagani visit! (Btw, I do *NOT* work for or get ANY compensation from recommending Sabol & Golding! I just hate seeing anyone have no alternatives when they are looking for a good Dr. GOOD LUCK!!! :-) )
