I had that recently taken out prior to her doing it. I was in horrific pain for four months from a doctor in not know what he was doing. I couldn't swallow my tongue was so sore. It hurts so bad all I could was cry and it wasn't done right and has caused a lot of heart ache with my dentures from the other doctor.. he left a lot of extra skin also.. so I had to go and get it done again. This is how I met this beautiful oral surgeon that knew what she was doing. She fixed me right up plus had to trim and trim on that extra skin so it wasn't as bulky.. I highly recommend her...

There are tremendous advantages gained by utilizing the surgical microscope with the principles of microsurgery. The surgical microscope has a magnification range of two to twenty-six times that of the naked eye. This increase in magnification allows for greater precision and hand control.

The office had confirmed my appointment several days before, but when I got to the appointment, after the receptionist telling me it would be a few minutes, I sat for 45 minutes with no one saying anything to me. Luckily I did not have to go back to work. I finally said something to the receptionist and she checked with him and said it would be another one-half hour. I asked the receptionist why no one had advised me. She didn't know. I rescheduled and when I did get my appointment with Dr. Feller, he acted as though he was doing me a BIG favor by coming on a half hour early one day to 'fit me in', although I had to take off work time two times to get in. He apologized for my waiting so long at that last appointment time, but he had 'no way to let me know he was running behind.' Really? No one in the office could get the message to the front desk for me? I told him I didn't appreciate it, but he was in an argumentative mood and tried to justify it by saying he was fitting someone in that had been in the hospital. OK, fine. Just let me know so I don't waste time sitting in your reception area. He said things like this happen all the time in business, and I told him not on my watch. Even though I told him I did not want to discuss it any longer, he kept on arguing with me. I was appalled at his attitude. Young and big-headed. I've left that office. Too bad, because he does good work, but though he was working for me, he didn't care about my time. Take your chances on his availability for you. Also no one from that office has questioned why I left, but they know I transferred ny records - not important, I guess. Does Dr. Santarelli know about Feller's practice and treatment of patients?

Yelp came through again!!!…read more Things don't always go as planned while in vacation. Last night while in Lexington, Kentucky at 11:30 pm my boyfriend's crown popped out. I yelped "emergency dental" and saw the post from a patient who had an emergency and was also on vacation. So, while on the road heading to Springfield, at 7:40 this morning we called Dr. Capati's after hours number and told him what happened. He said to call his staff at 8:00 and we did; they were able to squeeze in Stephen at 2:50 pm. The staff texted him a link for dental information (ie name, address, issues, etc) and by the time we arrived, everything was taken care of. He was done within 45 minutes and he said the tooth feels great. He's extremely happy and gives high praise to the staff and doctor.

I have made the call to do annual cleaning but it ended up be another "advanced" cleaning, named as: first time visit cleaning. This cleaning might be needed if you have not do your dental appt for more than 5-10 years, but for most ppl with insurance covered, we do cleaning annually, this advanced check make no sense, especially the dental trying to play the game to not mentioning specifically that they are doing a cleaning that will not be covered by insurance completely. So remember to ask clearly before they give you anything to sign!

I have had only a few very bad dental experiences in my life, but those few experiences can still instill fear into me, even now as an adult! It's a breath of fresh air to be able to come into the office, and actually feel relaxed and comfortable here at Ruggless Dental, despite my past "scares". The staff, literally all of them, are so sweet and amazing- and extremely quick to comfort if you feel uneasy! Not once are you ever confused about finances or billing here, either. The staff are great at expressing those throughout the care options given, which takes away about 50% of the stress, I would say! LONG REVIEW SHORT: I would, and do, 100% recommend Ruggless Dental! The entire atmosphere, alone, is welcoming and comforting- it really is the best dental experience of my life- and I am *terrified* of the dentist
