Cost:

Had a routine cleaning followed by fillings to treat gum recession. Pain and stress were greated than average because drilling was started before Novocaine kicked in. Ended up with 4X the normal dose of Novocaine. Dr. Willerman was nice and professional but seemed annoyed that I was expressing discomfort. Procedure was quick once Novocaine started working. However, I felt like this office kept trying to push optional procedures (tooth whitening, invisalign, etc) on me to increase my bill. Very annoyed that I was not informed that insurance would not cover my fillings until I was in the chair. The bill was $850 and a phone call before the day of the appointment would have been nice to discuss the cost/benefit aspects of the procedure.

About Hygienist: Hygenist was sometimes nice, sometimes rude. Told me my gum recession was "my fault" without offering further explanation - just told me to buy a fancy sonic toothbrush. She did help me through the Novocaine, however - I'm terrible with needles and began to pass out; she brought a cold towel when I asked.

I know this doctor: 1 month
