How Patients Feel
POSITIVEPatient Reviews
2I am traumatized for life because of my experience with this man, Dr. Richard Krokum. My parents found Krokum, to get my fillings replaced. I was 7 years old. I was so scared of needles and shots. The previous dentist had never let me see the needle. He talked me gently through closing my eyes and feeling a pinch. First filling visit with Krokum.... No words, no warning, Keokum swung around and pointed the gigantic needle at me, I freaked! I screamed and tried to run. He put his hand over my mouth to cover my scream, shoved me back into the chair (with my head) and held m down (by my head) in the chair. My mom came running back, but office staff took her away. Assistants held down my arms and legs. It was through fear that I had to submit. My parents blew it off and made me continue to see him. I've hated this man my entire life. Every shot at a dentists office reminds me of getting held down by my head, hand over my mouth by Krokum. I am 49 years old now.
