Medical professionals should be that. Professional.I have never been scared of the having work done until Dr Maines. If they had read my chart or asked even one simple question about the medical condition I listed in my chart, maybe things could have been a little better. Nobody in the office ever asked me about the cervical dystonia (a chronic pain condition of my neck) that was listed at least three times in my chart. After I sat down, I had to ask for eye protection when they shined the work light into my eyes. When he started to numb me, he moved so fast and hard that I was whimpering loudly. He asked if I could scream a little louder so the other patients could hear me. I ended up sobbing in pain and embarrassed about it. He left me in the chair to "get numb" while I tried to calm myself down. The assistant was kind but didn't apologize at all for Dr Maines' attitude. Then when I shrieked during drilling that it hurt, the doctor threw his hands up and said he would be right back. While I again calmed myself alone in the tiny little room, the anesthesia was already wearing off. After he said he couldn't do it without putting me under he prescribed a steroid. When I asked if I should have a antibiotic, he said he thought someone had told him I was on one and conceded to giving me one. Again. Could have read the chart. It was closed behind me while he talked to me. I was shocked at how callous and careless Dr Maines is. And don't get me started on the office that doesn't look like it has been cleaned in years. Dirty leaky windows, water damaged ceiling, it smelled slightly of must. At least the place is hard to find. It might actually be a benefit to society.

I would not recommend this endodontist to anyone (Jason Maines I believe). He was extremely rude and defensive when I asked him one question. He told me I needed a root canal and I got another opinion from another endodontist (who was very professional) and my regular dentist, and they both recommended that I not get a root canal and just fix the cavity. I left this office feeling like I had just been ripped off and like he just wanted my money. He told me I should just get the root canal that day, and when I asked him why since there was no root infection on the x ray, he basically said "Im the professional, I do this for a living." In a very short way and walked out of the office. I would recommend northern colorado endodontics. They went above and beyond expectation.
