| - Dr. Golpa has been my dentist for over 10 years. I have never been so disappointed in a doctor as a patient until just recently when I scheduled an appt. for a broken tooth, and what I thought was a broken filling. After taking off work with special request and sacrificing 2 hours of prime sales time at work to have him fix my tooth, after an hour getting there, x-rays and waiting, he sends his assistant to tell me "they don't take insurance patients anymore." She informed me the cost was $1000 for a porcelain inlay. I was beyond upset - the time to tell me this was not when I was sitting in his chair, it should have been when I called to make the appt. I bought special PPO insurance just to go to him. I decided to make an appt. at another dr. that took my insurance. Dr. Golpa did not even bother to come look at the tooth when I told his assistant I was in pain, he just wrote a scrip for pain meds. When I finally got another appt. at a dentist (emergency appt.) Saturday because I was in so much pain they sent me home from work Friday night early, I was told that an inlay (filling) was not even needed. This dentist showed me pictures of the lacerations under my tongue that the broken tooth with a jagged edge had caused, and simply filed it down in 5 minutes. Dr. Golpa could have done this in 5 minutes. Instead he wanted money, and didn't give a shit about a loyal patient for 10 years who has sent him referrals upon referrals. Dr. Golpa if you end up reading this, you have shown the worst side of what success can do to a professional. You care nothing about the people who have made you successful. You care only about your money. Don't go to this dentist, his staff since Rachel left are all idiots and Dr. Golpa will leave you with a knife cutting the inside of your mouth instead of helping you, and then try charging you for something you don't even need. SHAME, that's all I can say.
