Reviews
I do not even know where to begin to start with this review. I cannot speak on the competence of Dr. Pape or the people in this office, but I can state that I am absolutely horrified with my and my husband’s experience at Judson Cosmetic and Family Dental. After going and getting very thorough X-Rays and an exam of our teeth we were told we each had no less than three sessions of fixing cavities, prior fillings, or deep cleaning. This may have been true, I am not questioning the honesty of the establishment but rather what proceeded each visit. ABSOLUTE PAIN. In the past month my husband and I had to go back at least once after each visit to get our bite aligned or sealant put on a now sensitive tooth. My husband will shoot up out of bed with tooth pain, I cannot eat on either side of my mouth, and one of my existing fillings now needs a crown. The kicker to all this is there was no pain before we went to the dentist and Dr. Pape’s solution is to “floss more to toughen the gums” but it is our TEETH that we are having issues with. I have never been so upset with a service. My insurance has a cap on it, $1500 of which has already been used, $700 already on my credit card, and I have to pay a different dentist to try to fix whatever damage Dr. Pape has caused because I do not trust her to actually listen to my concerns and pain. I am constantly stressed thinking about my teeth, I can’t concentrate at work, and now I have to find a way to pay to get this fixed. Dr. Pape has yet to send my records and X-Rays to my new dentist as requested in writing. I am horrified at what the answer is to my mouth and teeth.
Dr. Pape was wonderful. I'm not going to say I was relaxed in the chair, because that would be a lie. I am and always have been completely terrified of the dentist's office. However, she and her assistant were very laid back and patient with me. Another plus - they are always VERY fast, but not rushed. I've been twice now and have not had to wait longer than 5 minutes to be seen; yet at the same time, they have never rushed through seeing me in order to move on to the next patient. I highly recommend Dr. Pape!
