Dr Montgomery seems a decent and concerned individual. she came in to assess my situation and explain what my dental problems were and then sent me home with referral slips and a prescription for antibiotics. my x-rays were forwarded to the other doctors along with the notes so all I had to do was make the appointments and take my meds. when I get the urgencies all taken care of I'll be back in for the more mundane treatments and evaluations and some more roller massage chair. when society collapses and the barbarians commence to pillaging I hope someone has the sense to preserve the tools of modern dentistry. yea for teeth doctors plying their trade without pliers!

What I was originally shown was a lightweight piece with no metal. After my extraction (which took about an hour), I was given something totally different -- a large prosthetic that didn't fit right. I couldn't close my mouth properly and could barely talk without a lisp. The dentist tried to file it down, which just made it worse and left a gap between the roof of my mouth and the denture. When I said I was unhappy, she offered to cut it, but told me if she did, I wouldn't be able to eat with it. I agreed because I was sore and ready to go home, but the result is a prosthetic I can't wear at all. My insurance won't cover another one, so I'm just stuck with it. When I tried to talk to the office about it, they weren't kind or helpful -- and I was dismissed from the practice right after paying for the procedure. I don't enjoy leaving negative reviews, but this experience left me disappointed and without a usable prosthetic. I hope sharing my story helps others ask more questions before committing to major dental work.

After having to sit thru four sittings to get them made and then another four for adjustments . Well I had had it, I asked for my money back, and was met with A semi hostile response from the doctor who was doing the work. So they did a soft reline and was told to come back in six months. So about a week later I stopped by to have them worked on and dropped the dentures off, ( I can where them for six hours if I eat nothing). I get a phone call from them saying never to come back because my actions at the office were hostile and not up to their standards. REALLY !! My wife witnessed the whole thing, and said ( the doctor screwed the dentures up and wanted me gone! ) I am calling the ADA and the BBB about getting screwed out of my time and my money.

I wish I could give a zero to 1/2 star. I made an appointment to see a dentist here to help me…read moredetermine if the pain in my lower right jaw was a bad back tooth or if it was TMJ/TMD. I was given Ron Davidson and told he was their TMJ "specialist". I came into this office with pre existing conditions/details about my dental history that were crucially important in assessing an overall treatment plan. He over zealously spoke of one of his "inventions" the designed to treat TMJ/TMD issues such as pain and sleep. I explained that I was just out of Invisalign treatment on my top teeth and he said his "invention/retainer" would also take care of keeping my top front teeth aligned while the bone healed around them and they became more stable. I had spent $4000 on Invisalign. For the next several months I came into this office no less than 14 times with problems due to his "retainer/invention". During this time the top tooth that has the Invisalign treatment went back to its original position rendering my $4000 spent worthless. Davidson had to make a second retainer because he never could get the first one to fit correctly, even after multiple grinding sessions of both the retainer and my teeth, which are now hollowed out and sharp to the touch of my tongue. I clearly told him that the most important thing going on in my mouth was my front teeth as they pertain to my Invisalign treatment but that was not on his mind. He seemed obsessed with the idea that he would be able to put an additional notch in his belt in favor of his invention so he could get his pat on the back. I stopped going after, 14 visits, and grinding my teeth, he s=could not get my bite right. on my last visit, I came in and told him he needed to adjust my bite because on one side of my mouth only 1 front tooth was touching the opposing lower tooth and it was actually making any TMJ I did have, WORSE! He brushed me off and continued on with his inner dialogue about how wonderful he is and how he loves to solve PUZZLES! He also gave me pricing on not 2 (as requested) but 5 upper front crowns and 1 implant crown at (excluding temporary crowns and other "potential" costs) @ $24,000. Outrageous! In the beginning of this awful experience, Davidson said he would reimburse me for the retainer ($1100-very expensive for piece of plastic that never fit). I requested reimbursement weeks ago and I have heard nothing back from anyone in the practice). I went back to the orthodontist and my periodontist to confirm what I thought about his "treatment plan". He had ruined my Invisalign result, left my front teeth unstable and hurting, and ruined my bite. My periodontist sent me to a new dentist who had to fix my bite so I could even close my mouth. I don't leave reviews often, but will if I think I can help someone else out by providing inside information about the character of the people in this dental practice. Since Davidson is a principal/owner, it is only logical that he would tell his employees how to respond and deal with problems that inevitably arise when dealing with patients. I don't blame any of his employees, but I put the blame squarely on Davidson and his self aggrandizing behavior. Reimburse me the money you owe me Davidson...

The mistreatment and disrespect my mother and I received at Cox's office this morning was an…read moreabsolutely disgusting experience. She has been his patient for a few years so I already knew her past trauma with them. I am mom's caregiver. She is elderly and wears dentures. Cox fitted her about 3 years ago but it took 4 tries over the course of 6 months to get it right. Mom was in constant pain from sores because the denture didn't fit right. The sores had to heal so she couldn't wear the teeth at all between the multiple mis-fittings, and wasn't able to eat solid food. She dropped weight as a result and having no teeth affected her self-esteem, so it was a difficult and stressful time for her. Finally Cox got them fitted right and all was well until a recent cleaning when they insisted she needed them adjusted because she lost weight. Mom did not request this and even told them the dentures were comfortable. She was apprehensive and didn't want to risk it or go without teeth, but Cox's office persisted. They called our house and left messages for weeks, promising everything would be fine. Mom finally consented after many times saying no and telling them she was worried. They made the adjustments and she described to Cox how one side felt higher, but was ignored and they sent her home saying if you need anything just call. When she chewed, the edge of the denture was sharp and cut her. I found her in pain on the sofa holding the side of her face and her denture had blood on it from the cut, and she couldn't finish her meal. I went to Cox's website to make an appointment and indicated an emergency, stating details about the sore and needing to be seen right away. Mom couldn't sleep last night for being upset and in pain. Before daylight she woke me up that she was in A-fib for 1 hour. We went to urgent care and the doc confirmed the main cause for this A-fib episode was her stress and anxiety from this situation. He said there is a bad ulcer in her mouth and told us to go to Cox and tell him HE said to fix the problem NOW. Those were the doctor's words verbatim. We got home at 10:30 a.m. and expected Cox's office to have called about the appointment but nope. So I called and explained how mom's denture caused an ulcer and that Dr. G** was sending mom to them today to have the denture fixed. When we got there mom sweetly explained the entire situation to the receptionist who said she was putting the notes on mom's chart. Then mom sweetly explained it to the hygienist and asked for something to put on the sore like Orajel but the hygienist didn't acknowledge mom's request and showed NO empathy or compassion. When Cox came in, he first asked mom if she slept in the denture and mom said no, that she was trying to eat. He said, "You never want to sleep in them, make sure you take them out before bed." I confirmed to him "She takes them out before bed but she wasn't able to sleep last night at all. This happened when she was eating, she says she felt something sharp back there cutting her." He ignored me and started grinding the denture, telling mom there was nothing sharp on it, that maybe she had just felt a pinch, that he only sees a tiny sore, and talked about how all of this is perfectly normal anytime you get an adjustment. Completely dismissive. I told him we didn't understand why she needed an adjustment and how it brought on anxiety and trauma for her to the point she had a life-threatening emergency. As a healthcare provider he needed to know of her past trauma and how she had been scared to do this adjustment when Cox became furious at me and snapped "Do you think I just do this out of the kindness of my heart?" He defensively said he had nothing to do with her A-fib and took his mask down from his face, visibly very angry at me, berating me right over my mom's head as she laid there in pain and with a heart condition. He told me to "get out" and waved his arm. I said "She told me you guys have been nice to her and I appreciate that but I don't want her to come here anymore after all of this." And Cox said, "Neither do I" and he got up and totally left my mom laying down there helpless. Then the hygienist handed me the denture and I said "My mom is your patient and is your priority so you need to fix this (the denture)." She smirked and said with sarcasm, "We're done, bye" and she left too, and we could hear them down the hall laughing while we sat there in tears for this awful day. While I was in the bathroom, my mom found Cox and crew and they had the nerve to tell her they were offended by me and thought I was accusing them of causing her A-fib. She had to explain it all over again to them and then they acted happy and finished her denture. How dare they dispose of her like that and try to get sympathy from her that they were offended, instead of focusing on how to keep her safe and healthy.
