I had a terrible experience with this dentist, Dr. Harris. I have a pretty healthy record with the dentist, going every 6 months for a cleaning and check up, had years of orthodontia so I know how to care for my teeth, a couple cavities but nothing terrible. When I went for my first and ONLY appointment here, I was told that my teeth were in terrible condition, that I had FIVE cavities, and that I had to pay extra for a deep cleaning because I apparently don't ever brush my teeth. Considering they had already started the cleaning when they told me this, I felt obligated to continue; I wish I hadn't. I have a pretty high pain tolerance but I - a grown woman- CRIED sitting in that chair. The woman tore apart my gums. They were visibly swollen for a week. I have no idea what she did but I have never had a dentist treat me so terribly. She kept telling me that I took terrible care of my teeth and gums, that it was obvious that I had been to bad dentists in the past considering all of these cavities I apparently had, etc.
I refused to let her fill any of the cavities. I went to a different dentist, two weeks later, for a second opinion. By that time, TMJ had settled in my left jaw (I really have no idea if it is connected to my cleaning with that woman but it coincidentally appeared within days of this terrible cleaning and is still reoccuring). The second dentist told me I did not have five cavities- I did need an old one redone, which he did in 10 minutes with little to no discomfort. He told me that this woman was not looking at new cavities- she was going to charge me to redo all of my old silver fillings into white ones, on the premise that they were either bad or new cavities.
This woman is a joke. She was rude, painful, and tried to scam me into procedures that I did NOT NEED. I would not recommend her to my worst enemy.
Pros: Small office
Cons: Scam
