I worked as a dental assistant for her for about 4 seconds years ago. She kicked me in the leg…read morewhile assisting when I pointed and verbally said that a pointed drill bit was going down a patient's throat. I wasn't allowed to speak about it! I also worked in the sterilization area and I poked myself with a needle. I brought it to her attention and I was told if I cry about these things I shouldn't be In dentistry. I have a daughter at the same age now when this happened to me... Character means everything and I won't ever forget. Disgusting!!

After many try-ins of the mold for the final one which I rejected them because none of them fit properly and the teeth they used were either too big to too small. She became upset with me and was rude and and tried to bully me int accepting something that was wrong for me. I finally told her office manager I would not be returning and that I felt she should return some of the money I had paid for the partial. She refused saying she had lab bills to pay. Why am I responsible to pay lab bills when they made so many mistakes. She should have made sure I had a good fitting partial. I wrote her a letter stating my feelings and she just ignored it. No class at all. Now I am paying another dentist for the partial I paid her for.

I am very picky and careful with regard to any proposed procedures to be performed on my teeth. I was amazed at how Dr. Strait was able to address my issue: prolong the life of my tooth, in addition to the skill and artistry he used to greatly improve the appearance of my tooth. I could not have been happier as a result of the procedure. Dr. Strait is one of the best doctors I have ever had! I trust him and cannot say enough good about his knowledge, manner and skills, not only as a DMD, but he possesses a great eye toward aesthetics as well.

First and foremost, this dental office was very unsanitary…read more New to the area, I chose this practice because of its proximity to my home and because it was in my network. I went in for a cleaning, X-rays and checkup. I told the receptionist that I only wanted services covered by my insurance. She told me that they didn't know what was covered and didn't have the manpower to check. In all my 66 years, I have never come across refusal. So I requested a cleaning only. The first thing I noticed was that there were no sinks. I had to spit into a FUNNEL! I also noticed that the X-ray bite wings were scattered all over the place.

I never went to a corrupt dental practice!! I made a 1st time dental appt, anticipating a cleaning…read moreafter getting X-rays: 1 - My appt was at 4pm, I did not leave until 6:00pm. The only positive sign was I was taken on time. 2 - I was taken in this room where you stand for your x-rays, there is no privacy as people walk back & forth watching you get x-rays like a freak show as your standing there with your mouth wide open. 3 - The technician could not get the mouth pieces in correctly; I was extremely uncomfortable & in tears from the pain as she could not figure out how to correctly fit them in my mouth. 4 - Now the hygienist comes in, scans my mouth, tells me I have to make another appt for "deep cleaning," and "it only costs $3000 to straighten my teeth & and this practice is the CREM DELA CREM." LMAO!! 5 - Now here comes the dentist who is explaining to me how horrible my teeth are and trying to sell me to wear something in my mouth, may be a night guard but honestly could not understand him. 6 - After the 2 hrs of torture, now they want me to sit with the insurance lady to review what my insurance will cover. I told them I have to leave, just freaking ridiculous, worse than car sales! And to top it off, she says I will call you Monday, never heard from her. 7 - End result, I had my X-rays forwarded to a real dental practice, go somewhere else!
