.Statement of facts about our Friendly Dental experience:
1) The initial treatment plan I was given called for root canals and crowns on 2 teeth with large cavities.
2) I forwarded my treatment plan, xrays, and symptoms to several other dental offices for opinions.
3) 3 Dr.'s reviewed my situation and thought the treatment plan was excessive, and that a more conservative approach would be to mend the teeth with fillings first since I had no pain and the decay didn't appear to be to the nerve of the tooth.
4) I gave these opinions to my Dr. at Friendly Dental and asked if they would treat with fillings first. Upon receiving this, they became defensive and uncooperative.
5) We then picked a new dentist and gave Facebook and Yelp reviews about our poor experience. The Dr. was unhappy with our review, so he contacted my wife and threatened her with legal action (to sue us for "slander") unless we changed our review to cover "the facts," which is what I'm doing now.
6) My teeth were filled yesterday and they're in great shape.
My opinion and the opinions of other dental healthcare workers:
-This office/Dr. over-treats and is excessive with treatment plans. Find a Dr. that is conservative.
-The Dr. and Staff are unprofessional and don't respond well to feedback.
