My children's initial visits over 15 months with this dentist were uneventful, the office is new and very nice. There is a problem with the phone being answered but not a deal breaker. When a problem arose with the treatment of one of my kids, which I informed the dentist of within 20 minutes of her leaving the chair. After speaking with her in the car outside when she was done crying I walked back in the building and was told "she" was being over reactive and he was dismissive of her pain. No parent likes to see the child in pain so a day later when the pain had not gone away we had a second opinion on her tooth by another dentist, who had to redo the work on that same tooth to relieve her discomfort (not covered since it had been billed under that "tooth number" just days earlier, insurance rules). The second dentist recommended returning to give Dr Oduyelu to allow him a chance to remedy the problem, that it what he would want his patients to do. We returned that very day with the Xrays from the second dentist. Dr. Oduyelu listened to our issue reluctantly but assured us he would refund the amount of the visit since the insurance would only cover one dentist's work on the individual tooth.
It would be a good review if he had followed through with his promise. I understand that problems can happen but the mark of a good doctor is that you can trust them. When Dr. Oduyelu didn't keep his promise, it has now been six months, for work that needed redone by another dentist he made me question his work on all my children, how honest was he with their needed dental work, were their earlier complaints of pain ignored, how much of the billing was accurate. We will now turn this over to the insurance company.
