This Ortho emailed me and confronted me on posting my opinion here!! Then he stated he "can't continue treatment' on me because I "bashed his office." I guess I can't express my experience without retaliation from this Ortho. How sad. Also, he told me in "25 years of ortho", I'm the only unhappy customer he's ever had! How amazing. Then, when I asked him for my x-rays he told me I need to pay for all of them, plus copying fees. Interestingly, he told me this in same email he confronted me on posting my opinion. I feel this Ortho is a narcisstic, passive aggressive man. He is more obsessed with his image than patient care. He failed to monitor my progress, which led to a cant developing over a four-six month period. Then, downplayed it. Also, ortho may have placed elastics wrong, which pulled jaw joint around, messing up bite. Yet, he claims I "had prior jaw problems. My question is: what ortho--even if I had undetected prior jaw problem--wouldn't have the latest technology to catch this, or during treatment--notice a cant developing? I'll tell you what kind: an office that shuffles people in so fast and relies on dental assistants to do most of work--they missed it!! What a terribly disappointing experience!
