My recent experience at Dr. Waack's office for the removal of my four wisdom teeth was disappointing and concerning. Despite my autoimmune disorders and compromised immune system, Dr. Waack chose not to prescribe antibiotics before or after the surgery, despite my clear expression of concern about the risk of infection.
Post-surgery, I experienced escalating pain that was unresponsive to prescribed medication, reaching out to the clinic for help only to be offered more painkillers. By the fourth day, I exhibited classic signs of infection, including facial swelling, fever, and increased heart rate.
With no emergency contact available from Dr. Waack's office, I had to consult my dentist via telehealth, who promptly prescribed antibiotics and advised me to seek emergency care if my symptoms worsened. I eventually ended up in the ER, where I received IV antibiotics and pain relief.
During follow-up appointments, Dr. Waack dismissed my concerns and symptoms, attributing them to dry socket rather than infection. His condescending demeanor and refusal to acknowledge the need for antibiotics post-surgery, despite my worsening condition, were deeply frustrating.
Overall, my experience with Dr. Waack's clinic was marked by negligence in patient care and a lack of proper communication and responsiveness, leading to unnecessary pain and medical intervention. I would caution others against seeking treatment at this clinic based on my experience. read more
