SCOTT LAWSON is arguably the worst oral surgeon that I have ever had the bad luck to come across. If you're my age, you remember "Little Shop Of Horrors".... yes, that bad.
I went in to have a tooth removed and he came in, asked the legal questions ( are you sure you want an extraction? and have you been informed of potential issues with the procedure?)
He then told me to open up and jabbed me with a needle, I jerked back - first because he didn't tell me he was stabbing me and second, because there was no numbing beforehand. I told him it hurt, he stabbed me a second time then he mumbled something and left the room.
Shortly after he disappeared, the lady in the next room started to moan in pain as he worked on her.
He then came back, put something in my mouth and asked if it hurt. I said I could feel the pressure. He said good, because that was a knife. Then he yanked the tooth out of my head, ripping the side of my gum. He told me he was done and left. The assistant handed me my prescriptions and showed me out the door.
(this review is only for the Dr himself - the staff and wait time were just as bad though)
If I had a little more money, knowledge and time, I'd pursue ways to get him reprimanded. If anyone needs a witness to testify to the treatment by this "Doctor" I will gladly be there in my best suit to offer sworn testimony.
(PS, no, I'm not a "wimp" and I have had many dentists work in my mouth over the past 40 years. This one is off the charts.) read more
