Patricia Pass-Dudley, DDS

I went to Dr Dudley's office for a checkup and cleaning. I was told I needed a root canal and the price for a cleaning would be $750; my insurance would cover one or the other. I opted for the root canal. A 2 days after the procedure the temporary crown fell off and I went back to have it replaced. The new one fell off within a week and they were unable to schedule another appointment for 10 days. After the permanent crown was done I was in excruciating pain for a week. I finally made an appointment with another dentist. He reviewed my x rays and said a root canal wasn't necessary, only a filling. I had to have the tooth pulled. To top it all off my insurance covered none of the procedure and I wasn't notified by the office that I would have to pay out of pocket until the day before my appointment for the permanent crown. I wasted time, money, and now I'm missing a tooth due to Dr Dudley's negligence. I wouldn't recommend her to my worst enemy.

Please do not make the mistake of choosing this dentist. When 2 of my children went in for routine cleanings (appt.s had been scheduled for 6 months) the hygenist was not even in the office. The dentist came in a quickly and painfully cleaned both childrens teeth leaving them sore and bloody! Then the office person came in and dipped the polisher once and polished 1/2 of their teeth and never even flossed! My kids are 16 and 18 and they were both totally upset by this experience. I myself have never had this kind of treatment in all my 51 years of dental cleanings. When I called back to talk to the dentist she told me she had done the cleaning and the regular hygenist was not in on Thursdays. We are now searching for another dentist....all 6 of us!!!! If possible I would not give it any stars but it won't let me off until I choose one so that is why there is one....
