Stoneham Dental Care: Fitzgerald Daniel B DDS
Reviews
Staff is so nice. . .which is what the one star is for! Needed a new dentist and they had an opening so I tried it. Cleaning was fine and then I returned for two fillings. The first filling went in easily the second, not so much. They could not get the Novocain to take and tried five times before I was numb. I woke up the next morning with the WORST tooth pain I have ever felt and a very swollen face and gums. I called them and went back in that day and saw a different dentist who took x-rays and irrigated my mouth and was not sure if I needed a root canal, had an infection, needed a crown or had any idea what was going on. She prescribed me pain killers and antibiotics to reduce the swelling and told me to page her tomorrow if I was not better. Well I woke up the next day more swollen and in worse pain so I used the emergency number to page her and boy did they get right back to me. . .three hours later!!!! I explained to her what was going on and her response to everything was "I believe you will get better soon" (patronize much?). Not the response you are looking for when your face is swollen, your gums are inflamed and you are in excruciating pain and all from a filling, what I thought was a routine procedure! Today is five days later and the swelling has finally gone down a bit but I still cannot chew on that side of my mouth or even touch that tooth without pain. I have had numerous cavities filled (unfortunately) and never experienced pain like this before and never did it take so much work to numb it. The dentists hands were actually shaking from the pressure she was using to insert the needle, that might have been a clue to lessen the pressure. So if you are looking to drop over $100 for a week of pain and a swolllen face I recommend this place!!!!
I have been going to Stoneham Dental Care for 9 years now. When I first started going there I had my usual jitters about being in a dentist office. After my first visit I knew this was the place for me. They are very accommodating to patients with fears and make you feel at ease. From the moment you walk through the front door you are greeted with smiles from the professional staff. The waiting area is lovely and has a refrigerator of water and juices for you to help yourself. I honestly look forward to my cleaning appointment as I have developed a nice relationship with my hygienist. I would highly recommend Stoneham Dental Care.
I have only had one visit to this Dentist Office so far, but even with that one visit I would recommend it to anyone. They were very kind, explaining everything they did each step of the way. A friend recommended this Dental office to me, and I'm very thankful that he did!
