I went to Dr Gerard Boquel, DDS for a 2nd opinion. Dr Boquel said that I required treatment immediately since it was a pretty severe problem in a few areas. This was in stark contrast to what my previous periodontist had found. Because I was concerned by Dr Boquels evaluation I started treatment right away even though he was the most expensive periodontist in the area. I assumed I would receive quality treatment from a professional with experience & education, but thats not what I found. Every office visit I had scheduled required that I wait between 20 - 40 minutes to be seen. When I explained to the hygienist and Dr Boquel that the waiting was a concern it was dismissed a requirement for the privilege of being seen by him. I had to ask about the status of my condition and for a treatment plan & when I did Dr Boquel always provided an evasive & vague response. Dr Boquel at 1 point basically said I was taking too much of this time with my questions. This behavior made it seem like the only thing he was interested in was generating revenue, rather than patient care. Dr Boquel recommends this strange home treatment they ask you to complete everyday with a toothpick that takes about 30 minutes where you push your gums up and trace them with the toothpick I found Dr Boquel to be arrogant and have a terrible bedside manner.
