Dr. Karl Lewis Hickey Heggland, MD

My experience was excruciating. He extracted a tooth. I assumed this would be a simple process as I have had a few implants in the last 3 years. I was in pretty severe pain for nearly 7 weeks following the extraction. He followed up with 3 (!!) courses of antibiotics, and had me in to the office to remove an infected suture. I went to my general dentist a few weeks later for a routine filling. She noticed (what I thought was another suture left behind) Even better--a sizeable piece of bone/tooth left behind. She called it a bony spicula. So, a not-so-easy procedure with this dentist. When I called him today to ask for an explanation of 3 mishaps on a simple procedure; he started yelling at me? How unprofessional. He offered no apology. What a creep!! Beware of this so-called doctor. His staff on the other hand is lovely. Hope he is nice to them, but I doubt it....

After a week of not sleeping and miserable mouth pain from a cracked Tooth I was asleep in the dentist chair within minutes and on my way home in less than a half hour. It’s been a week now and haven’t had a bit of pain, and haven’t needed any of the pain meds prescribed! Thank you so much!! Rob
