I went in for a cleaning (my first visit with her), and after looking over my teeth, she said that I would have to come in for a second visit. I have had 30-40 cleanings in my life, and I know that the amount of tartar I had did not require two visits to remove. I explained to her that I was relatively poor and that I couldn't pay double to get my teeth cleaned, so she agreed to clean my teeth in one session. However, she was visibly annoyed, and she proceeded to start cleaning very roughly and hastily, not being gentle at all, which of course was painful. When she gouged one of my gums, I stopped her and told her I had to leave. There was then an altercation in which she refused to give me back the patient-information sheet I had filled out (which had all my private information on it). If Dr. Torres had had a professional attitude, she would have cleaned my teeth at the price I had been quoted and not tried to squeeze more money out of me. Some cleanings take more time than others -- that's just the way it goes. This is a dentist with an exaggerated idea of what her time and services are worth.
