Dr. Julie C Swift, DDS

A extraction was done in her office. An infection was present the very next day. Because I could not get an emergency appointment with Dr. Swift, I saw another surgeon on the 3rd day for a 2nd opinion; a fistula was clearly noted. I was given an antibiotic and demanded to see Dr. Swift as it was urgent. During the first visit an instrument was dropped on the floor and placed in my mouth... is this where an infection started? Upon my second appointment with Dr. Swift, she stated that I never had an infection; everything had gone well. She did state that, more than likely, a piece of bone broke off during the extraction and it was under the skin, trying to make it's way through the gum tissue. I feel that I should have been informed of possible complications and should have been told there was anything left broken inside the gum before suturing. I am dissatisfied and in fear of further damage. I had heard good things about Dr. Swift so I chose to see her. I hope that this situation has… opened her eyes and she is more attentive, honest and compassionate to her patients in the future.
