Dr. Maya R Muthuswamy

Today I had the worst dentist experience of my life. I'd like to preface by saying that my current dental location was a wonderful place for my family for several years-- we received excellent service from very kind and experienced doctors. However, recently, the practice was sold to a new doctor: Doctor Maya Muthuswamy. Dr. Maya replaced both the pediatric and the adult doctors, who relocated a few months prior. When I came in, I was promptly called by the dental hygienist, as usual. She was amazing, respectful, and very nice to talk to. She cleaned my teeth well, did my x-ray, and explained some possible issues that might be going on. Then, as usual, she called the doctor to come take a look as well. In comes Dr. Maya. She was incredibly rude, and in her several minutes in the room with me, she never once said a word to me, not even a simple "hello". She only told me to open/close my mouth whilst making comments about how my "smile line wasn't great". She also seemed terribly aghast… when she was informed by the hygienist that several years prior, I refused an expensive orthodontic procedure that wouldn't improve the health of my teeth: only the aesthetics. She then told the hygienist to make me sign up for a consultation with the orthodontist again, because surely I hadn't thought the decision through and required some more convincing. Additionally, simple questions about the aforementioned appointment and even my age were directed towards the hygienist, as if I wasn't capable of understanding or talking. After glaring at me for one last time, Dr. Maya left. The hygienist then turned to me and explained once more what Dr. Maya wanted (Dr. Maya herself couldn't explain, of course, because for some reason actually talking to me seemed beneath her), and answered my questions very well. Overall, the change in ownership severely degrades the quality of the establishment. The other staff I spoke to were very kind and helped me out, however Dr. Maya herself gave off a disrespectful and unprofessional air. I am very sorry to say that after many years of my entire family visiting, we will not be returning for more appointments or procedures.
