I had been a loyal patient of this office for several years, cleanings every 6 months, the occasional filling, and even a root canal. Recently I've had more issues with my teeth and continued to go back and go back and go back because all of the work he had done was constantly falling apart. The same filling was redone 3 or 4 times in a 3 month period and I dont open beer bottles with my teeth or chew on rocks.The final straw was right before I went on a family vacation in August as per usual one of his fillings fell out, so I called and left a message asking to get in before I went out of country. It is now October and still never received a call back, however I did get a very large bill and on the bill it stated that all of my dental coverage had been used up for the year and i was now responsible. If you hire a plumber to fix a leaky faucet, and the next day its leaking again doesnt the plumber come back and fix it for free? Not this guy, enjoy your money Doc. I would not recommend

Tomorrow I have to have oral surgery to get 2 of my molars removed. Two teeth I allowed dr. Scott to "fix" by giving me crowns. He did such a horrible job I am more forced to lose my teeth because they are behind repair. I'm 37 years old, I go to the dentist twice a year, I brush and floss everyday I do everything I can to care for my oral health and to think that I trusted this man and I have to now go through pain, anxiety, lose of molars, I'm so beyond hurt and upset. Do not trust him!
