Tell us has your experience with this business or person been good? What's this?
This alleged high end dentist send out a fancy brochure with all these great treatment claims. But beware, his butchy wife/secreatary will have you coming back and coming back for more. I literally had nothing wrong with my teeth. I should have been in and out with a cleaning. When I finally came to about 3 weeks later, this guy had bilked me for about 4 grand. $2,200 for a Crown on a molar including a root canal, where he actually sent me to a pricy endodonist who did her part for $1,000.

Turns out they missed one of the nerves in the tooth so in the end it cost me another 2 grand to have a another dentist re do it. He replaced like 5 of my old fillings with new ones whcih he claimed I had to have done because the old almagamted fillings were "toxic" I owed him 1000.00 (After he raped my insurance for its limits) which he sent me a bill for..then promptly filed a friggin lawsuit against me 16 days after he sent the bill beacuse I disputed his bill.

Don't ever go to this guy or this office..this guy is only after outrageous fees for BS treatment you don't need. Then he sues you if you disagree. He never tells you how much..and will bleed your insurance dry before he comes after you.

Let the bills sit and stew, don't tell us how much it costs...bill our insurance then wait about 30 days and sue us.. thats is totally a nightmare.. Can't do that my South African Friend..like the pictures on your wall of Animals you shot and killed, too bad my friend so bad- Don't f**k us regular people over. A root canal and crown is worth $1800 not 3 grand. Next time tell us the general public how much it is before you do it... IN AMerica we call and ask and say hey man why aren't you paying? We don't just sue...by the way my a*****e friend, you spelled my name wrong on the lawusit so it doesn't show on my credit report and thus your judgegment isn't worth s**t... Thank the Lord for RipOff report it exposes guys like as the scammers you are...Go back to South Africa and be the Apartheit a*****e you are..

I have served my community diligently for 15 years and take pride in the high standard of care that my office provides. Many of our patients have been with our office since the beginning. I continually educate myself to keep up with the latest techniques, trends and materials in dentistry. Recently I completed my Fellowship in the Academy of Genral Dentistry after completing 300 hours of education and a full day examination comprising all aspects of Dentistry I have practiced dentistry for 35 years and have never told a patient that amalgam filligs are toxic. In fact the scientific evidence is clear that amalgam does not contain any free mercury once it has set, but forms a new inert metal called amalgam. However we frequently replace old amalgam fillings for the following reasons:- 1) Fillings that are worn, chipped or fractured. 2) Fillings that have caries or new cavities underneath. 3) For cosmetic reasons. The fillings of choice today are tooth colored bondings, porcelain, and composites. I have not placed an amalgam filling in my office for 15 years and have placed thousands of white fillings during this time.
