Everything about my experience here was weird and bad. The Dentist seemed nice enough at first. However I'm pretty sure he charged me an extra $50 out of pocket for no reason (he claimed it was an activation fee which my new dentist tells me isn't a real thing.) The office (house) was gross there wasn't another soul in there but the Dentist and the receptionist. They were both watching Maury or something when I got there.

(I'll take numbness over intense pain.) Turns out the other 'cavities' are NOT there and I believe he 'filled' 2 just to get money out of me. Also my new (real) dentist found a real cavity that he did not. In hindsight I feel appalled that I let this guy touch me. When I left they gave me a weird calendar with a turkey on it, a magnet with a bible verse and a menu sort of thing with all of his services. Some were crossed out and changed in pen like a Chinese menu after they change their prices. Save your time and money and go to a real dentist! Everything about my experience here was weird and bad.
