| - Currently my mouth has decided that I am a walking money tree and that I should give in great quantities at this time in my life. Dr. house was referred to me a few years ago. I went in to see her, got my xrays and startling news, that basically my entire mouth had to be overhauled. I think I was in such shock and disbelief that I neatly tucked it far far away in the depths of my dental mental hell, hoping it wouldn't rear it's ugly head again. Well, that did not happen! That being said, let me give you a little of my dental hellistery, so you can fully comprehend how amazing Dr. House is and why you should call her your dentist!
I started having dental work when I was 8 years old. Fillings, Root canals, crowns, etc. Not because I necessarily needed them, but because my parents were naive to a new young dentist just out of dental school who wanted a new house and fancy sports car, and wanted my parents to pay for it! I was his practice patient. ( I know this to my core) He did however do great (if not excruciatingly painful) work. It lasted me 30 years. I decided I wanted the amalgam / silver crown fillings out of my mouth about 8 years ago. This was done and I had to also get 3 root canals redone at that time. I developed some autoimmune symptoms to say the least, but never correlated it with my "new" supposedly holistic dental work. Fast forward to this past Labor Day Weekend 2011.
A crown cracks and splits in half as I am munching on my lunch. OMG! Holiday weekend what do I do? My SO and daughter both use Dr. House. He said call her, see what she says. Her office is 5 minutes from the house. Maybe?? Well, she not only returned me call, she met me there in 10 minutes. Mind you I am not a patient at this point. She was gracious and welcoming, although she was leaving on vacation within the hour with her husband and two kids. We get suited up, etc. in the chair....oh geez..here we go!
I am looking in her eyes as she is looking inside this tooth and I see a look of, "OMG! WTH! and OH MY!", yet she says, "yes it's cracked, it's bad, and not only that, but someone left packing gauze in your root canal 8 years ago. So, I got that out, sterilized it, put a temp on, calling in antibiotics and pain meds for you till I get back from my trip." Awesome and nerve racking! She never once said, " I told you so a few years ago", NOT ONCE! Dr. House just gave me a hug and said, "Let's just move forward." and we have.
Since then, I have had 3 root canals ( referred out to Dr. Axx), 2 extractions ( referred out to Dr. Sabol) and 2 crowns, 2 fillings and a 3 part bridge and 1 filling to go in the next couple of weeks. Had I listened to her 2-3 years ago, I probably would not have had to endure all of this in emergency situations.
She doesn't take my insurance, but I don't care!! I trust my teeth only to her and whom she refers me to. I have been to dental hell and back twice. Dr. House and her crew are my saving Angels. Finally! I had such anxiety and fear all of these years. Putting it all off until it all became an emergency is not the way to go! However, it landed me with her, and there's no place I would rather be in a dental emergency or just for a cleaning or filling than with Dr. House.
Dr. House has an amazing new beautiful , state of the art office great staff and warm environment. If you are looking for a great dentist..you just found her!
BTW: I had friend that cracked a front tooth off, opening a box two weeks ago. I called Dr. H for her. She met us at her new office (not even open yet) on a Friday night, numbs her up, cleans it up, puts on a temp and gets her out the door within an hour. My friend was not a patient of hers either at that time.
Dr. House has amazing customer service! She texts you, emails you and follows up with phone calls. Love a dentist that's hip on the communication!
