interesting/shady Russian dentist operations

Filed under: — admin @ 3:36 pm

When it comes to having a dentist, or any other professions in your basket to call upon, watch out for these guys on these insurance sites. If your like me and don’t really have a traditional doctor that you go to all the time. Lot of us here in SF are transplants, so I imagine that this is the case most of the time, then its hard to find someone you trust, or even know.

Don’t go the insurance website route:

So I went to the PPO site to find a dentist that was close to my work or home. Many were very close but I had the problem of trying to decide based only on a name. There wasn’t any sort of profile, or stats on ‘patients treated’ (like an ebay rating system). All there was is dentists name and address and phone number. So I picked a name that seemed like of fun and went with it.

A gentle dentist and thus the gentle toothbrush is where I’m at:

They sit me down and just pound on my mouth. I was used to a mild mannered dentist that took care to make sure I was comfortable (like a masseuse on a bad day…because it is a dentist’s office). Hence I say that that hurts, in the only way you can with all the tubes and shite in your mouth. And basically they laugh, these Russians think I’m a girly man because I can’t take the gums bleeding pain. I’m appalled…truly.

Hello…Who is the customer here:

I’m saddened by the fact that they take SO LITTLE CARE in a patient and just keep grinding away. They even spilled water on me and didn’t even notice and when I pointed it out they kind of just shrugged.

Anyone else have an experience with a dentist, maybe of Russian decent,
to verify this type of treatment?

  1. I had a similar office visit with a one that was Polish, must be different culture out there.
    This guy said ‘dentist, san francisco’ as his greeting on the phone. I should have known from this creepy tone that he was hardly ADA certified.
