Had a cyst on the inside of my cheek which needed to be removed. Everything went perfectly smooth. It's a special thing having not having to drive to Miami over stuff like that. Braced myself after looking at other reviews. But if ya go in making yourself as low maintenance as possible, realize we are lucky to have such services down here, ya might be left thinking it was the people leaving negative reviews who where the issue. Yeah it's a "let's just get the job done" mentality. So what, was thrilled to get the job done and it was done as well as it could be. Felt everybody was friendly enough. If ya research deep enough online you will discover it's a favor that office exists. read more

I normally do not take the time to voice a complaint.....but in this case and after reading other complaints about this Dr. I will make an exception. My dentist told me that I needed a root canal and possibly an extraction, so I was directed to Dr. Slingbaum in Key West. I had been to Dr. Slingbaum before and I had a great experience with him. During the consultation he suggested that if he could restore the tooth, it would cost $1554 and to extract the tooth would cost $375 (which I have in writing). I opted to have the tooth pulled because of financial reasons. I was then referred to Dr. Ira Stone for this procedure. I arrived for the app in considerable pain and was told the extraction would cost $1095 and NOT $375!! I went ahead with the $1095, having the tooth pulled. After a few days I had some concerns about the procedure and called Dr. Stones nurse, who scheduled another consult. When I arrived for this app, Dr. Stone was quite obviously not happy to see me.....he came into the room with me and somehow managed to spend a whole 10 seconds! No joke!!! He stuck a mirror tool in my mouth and announced "you are fine!!!" When I voiced a concern about the procedure, he looked at me and said "Keep your fingers out of your mouth and it will heal fine" He stormed out of the room, I said wait a minute.....and he just kept walking. Bottom line here is that I will NEVER see Dr. Stone again for any reason and I would not bring my dog, or a goat to this guy for any reason whatsoever!!!! This guy has no people skills at all...and I mean NONE!!! I sincerely hope that someone brings this review to the attention of Dr. Slingbaum and he then reconsiders who he shares his office space with! Please note that this is merely my opinion and is meant to serve as a polite warning to my fellow Key West family. M Kilgos 305-393-9652 Key West, Fla. read more

Nope! His head is so far up his rear end. I took my boyfriend to him because he has four impacted wisdom teeth. When the doc was done, i was advised that my bf had to use the restroom and i needed to escort him. So i did just that! Walking back from the restroom, dr. Stone turned to me and yelled that "were on a planned schedule and take him back to the chair." Obviously he has no clue what the hell is going on. I held my tongue for the sake of my bf. Few mins later (15) he has to go again. I asked the nurse up front if i could take him. She said yes and to escort him. Came back to the room to take him and another nurse said he has to stay put. Wtf is going on lol. Ok so we sat for a few more mins and i advised the nurse that he really had to use the restroom. Shes saying no. Ok well i did not see a god damn urinal anywhere in that tiny cramped room! Get your shit together guys! No ones going to sit there and watch their drugged up loved ones piss themselves in your chair! Oh and after you pump IV sedation into someones arm, you don't act like an arrogant ass to them. They don't know what their doing! You should know this! read more

I highly do not recommend to use this doctor. He is arrogant and unpleasant to deal with. I felt like my experience with him was a complete waste of time and my insurance money. Natalie and Kelly in his office are absolutely terrible. I will not return! read more
