Help me understand my dentist!
|
|
|
I finally found a great,young Endodentist.. Last Oct. She did a Root
Canal(part 1) in 2 days.. paid in `cash..I praised her.. recommended
her,, etcetc.
Then,..a very Blizzardy winter closed our roads, and I had to cxl the
next 2 visits.(giving plenty of notice...
i n March I made another appt. but had emergency Angioplasty, and even
called from the CCU 3 days before the appt. so they could schedule
another patient.
When I called to make an appt. for the Post and Crown.. I was told :"
Bcs. of your history of cancellations, (2 )! we won't see you.. we'll do
1 emergency appt. (bcs the temp.filling is leaking"
I'm devastated bcs.. it's hard to find a capable Dentist I feel
comfortable with.. (Had had 2 bad experiences with verbally abusive male
Dentists..so now I'm more apprehensive about the rejection and further
search.. than I am about the tooth!!
Is there anything one of you can suggestI say to her to convince her to
keep me as a patient?? I even offerred to pay EXtra!
and I'm a really nice, polite lady..
This is so strange to me...
Could it be that she's young and fairly inexperienced in practice?
Thanks in advance..

Could also be an overzealous front desk person and the dentist doesn't
even know what went on.
Send a note marked "confidential". If the dentist has a direct e-mail
or you know where she lives, consider a note at home. You could be
doing a favor for the dentist. If your story is accurate, I cannot
imagine a patient being turned away by a dentist who knows what went on.

Absolutely.
Things happen and the astute practitioner doesn't let this
interfere with the doctor/patient relationship.

Endodontists don't do posts and crowns.

I don't know many dentists in Suffolk cnty (I'm in Brooklyn) but I had
an office in Lindenhurst in the early 1980s. If you're looking for an
endodontist, I can recommend without reservations Dr. Anthony Fragola,
who was president of our dental school class, a classy guy, and a
first-rate endodontist. I haven't seen him in some years, but unless he
moved he is on Montauk Hwy in W. Islip.
Good luck,
Steve

That's another possibility. Patients that have had recent heart surgery
'scare' some dentists. They don't want any possible liability should
more heart trouble ensue.
