Dr. Alan D Kronish

He didn't explain what he was going to do to me and drilled into my good teeth and also took out old fillings of my five teeth without telling me, when i came in for only one tooth to be treated. Later when the anesthesia worn off i was in serious pain and had to go to the emergency room. the x-ray in the er told me that he left the old filling and mix with new filling and one tooth was not even covered by the filling at all leaving a huge gap on the side of the tooth. the other teeth that was completely fine and painless are not in serious damage. He was a 74 old man who didn't speak a word to me when he came into the room and left after the treatment.

It looks like a newly renovated location. There are two flights of stairs you have to walk up when you arrive. On your right there is a bathroom, which on two occasion, during a morning visit and afternoon visit, had no toilet paper or soap for its patient. The secretary is not warm and may be a relative of one of the doctors, because she was clueless when I asked about dental terminology and clueless when asked about receiving a copy of my dental records. The waiting area was empty on the two occasions I visited the location, which appeared to be a good sign. This gave me the impression that he didn't overbook his patients. However, whatever the case may be, I spoke with several doctors there before I met Dr. Allan Kronish, who told me that the amalgam in my mouth needed to be replaced because of the leakage of mercury. I later found out that this is a personal opinion of some dentist in the field that is not substantiated. As a result, I allowed him to replace my fillings with… composites, the white natural looking filling, which was unnecessary. In addition to this procedure, he also gave me a following for a took that had severe decay, which is apparent in x-ray taken. Lastly, he gave my filling in opposite quadrants, or sides of my mouth; This was unethical. Dentist who think with the patient in mind, normally just do one side of the mouth. As a result of the negligence if this doctor, I had to go to the emergency room the next day, and could not eat on the left side of my mouth for weeks. After he was done with the procedure, I was sent to the front to make a follow up appointment. I was not told I would experience any severe pain, or given any care practices after the procedure. The end result of this dental visit, resulted in weeks of pain, replacement fillings which were not needed and a missed diagnosis of a tooth that needed to be extracted, instead of a filling. This doctor is unethical and does not explain in detail what he's doing and gave me an acknowledgement document to sign while I was under anesthesia.....unethical.
