i'be been avoiding writing this for almost a year but unfortunately I feel i has to be done. I first heard of Maryland Dental Care thru a friend who after dental school worked there so of-course I went to support them. my friend did my crown and was amazing. a year or so later a few hrs before I was to be on a flight eating some candy the crown came out, in a panic i called my friend was told they no longer work there but they called the office (an hr b4 closing) and got dr Hawk to see me to fix it. I was so happy. I got there he didn't seem like the most pleasant person but I understood I was there last minute, but its still a business and i'm still a paying customer. anyways he did the crown, as i got home im looking in the mirror more closely at it and its not flush on my teeth. it's poorly placed, its literally just on top my teeth no attempt to make it look natural or some what flush on my teeth. i'm not an export nor a dental but i knew this couldn't be right so i take photos and send for my friend who initially did it and my friend is livid. they couldn't believe thats what dr hawk did to my teeth. me on my way to my flight im saying its okay it was last minute i'm just happy i got it done, my friend is like no thats unacceptable he's the practice owner thats sloppy and not something you should have paid for. my friend calls the office and speaks to dr hawk and i assume gives him a piece of whats on my friends mind. anyways my friend confirms that once i return they would fix it for me. i'm like cool but i personally don't ever want to have to deal with Dr Hawk again
oh but there is more
i come back into the country get scheduled go back in, a new dentist is there Dr Y. amazing guy. he takes a look at the bad crown cant believe it lol. told him who did it he's shocked. anyways he fixes it. love that man.
now a year or some later...crown comes out yet AGAIN. i go back in dr Y isnt there any more another amazing dentist is there he takes a look at the teeth tells me a crown isnt going to work i need an extraction and implant and the person who does those....dr HAWK. lord have mercy. he comes over and walks me thru what the procedure is about, keeps saying its very expensive and insurance doesn't always cover it. so i ask can we find out how much it will cost with my insurance i'm told sure thing. this was October 2019...i've called them 3 times after that and they give me the run around about they are still waiting. while the first time i called my insurance there told me.
so summerize...
there have been some great dentist come thru that place but they never seem to stay very long. it really makes you wonder why. and eventho the place may be a decent practice MY personal experiences with Dr Hawk has been horrible. just be warned read more
