Dr. Louis Gene Colacicco, MD

This review is from a true nervous "dentaphobe". Went today for a relatively complicated extraction of a tooth broken at and below the gum line. A friend recommended Dr. Louis Colacicco to me , and I am happy he did. Dr. Colacicco took his time to make sure I was"comfortably numb" before the procedure began. He put me at ease and fully explained the procedure before and during the extraction (all the while assuring I was not in any pain or distress.) The tooth was out without any pain in a few short minutes. He finished by suturing the open wound, and prescribing me both needed antibiotics and a pain reliever (if needed) . The front desk explained all my after care regimen before I departed. I left the office pain free and happy I chose Dr. Louis Colacicco for this oral surgery. PS. Saw other patients leaving the office equally satisfied with their oral surgeries during my stay.

The awful experience I had with this joke of a doctor has haunted me through the years. I novocaine has never worked on me so I wanted my wisdom teeth extracted under sedation. I was young and nervous and asked if my aunt could accompany me in to sooth my nerves. I was assured on the phone that both requests would be honored and that I would be completely accommodated without any issues. The traffic getting there was a hassle and my aunt got me there no more than 5 min late. The doctor promptly took me to take one X-ray, told me my wisdom teeth had to go and rushed me into his office alone and started preparing the novocaine. When I asked about my aunt and sedation he turned around and yelled at me. He told me to grow up and deal with the pain and that since I was 5 min late to my appointment, I wasted his time and he wasn't going to waste anymore of it with sedation. I promptly walked out and updated my aunt of the situation. The doctor refused to speak to my aunt, his witch of a… secretary proceeded to scream and curse us out.....A month later I got the $2000 bill for the teeth extraction that never happened and X-rays. Insurance fraud on top of it all...what a joke. someone else said it best" no, I would not send my dog here." I have never been treated so badly by anyone, let alone "a medical professional." I had my teeth extracted by a real doctor a week later. STAY CLEAR of this horrific disguise of a doctor.
