I saw Cheek in July 2018 when I had sore gums. They did an intense cleaning and I ended up in the hospital with an infection, and losing a tooth. Despite the fact that he took x-rays, he didn't see the crack in my tooth, and the cleaning aggravated it. I'd also called their emergency line and left numerous messages, since i was running a high fever, and nobody responded. Before the cleaning, I signed up for a one-year program, quite expensive, that covered one more cleaning and another set of x-rays. I wanted to ask for my money back, after my hospital visit, but opted to let it go. Five months ago, my mother was diagnosed with stage iv lung cancer. She never smoked and was never sick in her life. I called Cheek's office to cancel my appt. and reschedule. I ended up taking my mother to Yale, where they are saving her life. While dealing with that, I still managed to play phone tag with Cheek's office regarding rescheduling my appt. for when we returned to Raleigh. It turned out that we would be back just two days after the year expired. I called and asked the office if I could have an extension of a few days, just a few days, since we were away, getting my mother's lung cancer treatment. They said, "no." I was shocked. I called back and spoke to another person, and she said she'd talk directly with Cheek. I just heard back and the message is that "Dr. Cheek said you can't extend it." What a small-minded, callous, greedy man. SHAME ON THEM.
