This review is for treatment Dr. Gathecha provided me in 2005. I'm writing this because I still apparently can't get over the experience. Note: I had a crown and post on my front tooth for years (done by another dentist) when I went to Dr. Gathetcha. I went to see her when I suddenly got an infection in that tooth. I was treated by a separate root canal specialist who was in constant contact with Dr. Gathecha about my case as she would take over after my root canal was repaired. The metal post was removed from the crown and Dr. Gathecha proceeded to put some kind of cement filler back in my tooth and sent me on my way. At the time I was thinking, wow they really must have made advances with fillers, knowing how much force the front teeth endure and the fact that she didn't replace the metal post. Two weeks later my tooth fell out of my mouth. Thank god I went to a different dentist who told me 1. I need a post 2. the crown was ill-fitting that's why I got an infection. He took care of my tooth the right way and it's still fine to this day. Dr. Gathecha clearly lacked basic knowledge and I would say common sense, in dealing with my front tooth. I should have questioned her. Silly, I assumed a professional would know better than me
