We cannot believe Dr Shelby is licensed to practice. Exudes much more confidence than skill level…read more Dr Shelby completely missed a bacterial infection that resulted in a failed donor gum grafting. Dr Shelby opted for a low grade antibiotic, ZPack , double dosed, to treat an abscess infection. Within less than 24 hours after visiting with Dr Shelby, I was rushing my husband to the ER as he could not hold his head up. He was extremely sick. The ER doctor could not believe that Dr Shelby did not choose a broad spectrum antibiotic to treat my husbands infection. 6 hours later, administration of high powered aiV antibiotics and a CT scan indicated that there was an acute infection. Luckily, the bacterial infection dI'd not yet enter the bloodstream or brain. We then had to have follow up Dr visits with our primary physician, ENT and a new Peridontist to evaluate the damage from the failed procedure. Please do not let Dr Shelby's confidence fool you. He's inexperienced. Dr Shelby's charisma carries him far, until you end up with a. failed procedure, additional medical expenses and a young dentist denying that he has any responsibility for my husbands condition. We called and spoke with Dr Shelby regarding the ER visit, accrued additional medical expenses and my husbands health and safety. Dr Shelby stated that he would call us back and obtain the ER records. it's been approximately 3 weeks and Dr Shelby NEVER returned a call. VERY UNPROFESSIONAL. Please do not visit this practice as the next patient may not be as fortunate to recover as my husband finally did. We are now going to see Southwinds for his re- grafting of the area that was abscessed, infected and not properly treated by Dr Shelby. if you value your health, stay clear of Lawrence Peridontics and Dr Shelby. Please consider Southwinds, where there is a team of experienced Peridontists that have a plethora of experience. They ensure that a team effort of knowledge and experience is applicable to every patients treatment. Please also pass this unfortunate incident to friends and family as everyone deserves a Dr that actually has procedural recovery experience, empathy and proper patient etiquette when procedures do not manifest as planned.

To date, I have had 1 cavity filled and had a crown put on a cracked tooth. I was terrified when I walked into the office not knowing what to expect. I had asked several people what I was in for and got everything from the bulging eyes and vigorous nodding when I asked, "Does it hurt?" to "I nearly passed out from the pain!" None of these folks had been to see Dr. Van Blaricum. Well, I almost didn't go. But, I knew I had to and Dr. Van Blaricum had my crown on in no time and it never hurt at all. I had brought a book to read and had hardly read any of it when it was time to put the crown on and after that it was a breeze. I really can't say enough good things about the great team and teamwork at this dental office.

Not only did the medicine not kick in yet because I had taken it upon arrival but I also have anxiety with dental work so I was really reliant on that medication to help me be somewhat unconscious. As I was not ready yet because the medicine had not hit yet, I was told that it was taking too long and that the procedure was not going to happen. You could tell the dentist was just tired of waiting and was trying to rush the process because he had other patients coming in.
