Grigor Sarkissian DDS

AVOID AT ALL COSTS! My HMO dental plan assigned me this office. After living through the nightmare of this place, I can assure you it's worth the extra $20 a month for a PPO. The people in this office barely grasp the english language. The staff is neither friendly, nor welcoming. After a 30 minute wait, the receptionist asked with disdain: "What do you want?" "I need to get my teeth cleaned, and I might have some cavities, so we should take some x-rays." "X-rays" I guess is a dirty word in this office, because the staff seemed upset that I asked for this. A young guy takes me into a room and takes TWO shots. In the 50+ dentists visits of my life, I have NEVER seen a dentist take less than six. Not only that, but when he took the shots, he just stood there. Aren't x-ray technicians supposed to hide behind a lead wall? "Wait here." 30 minutes of waiting in the chair. Aren't they supposed to clean my teeth while the x-rays develop? In walks the "dentist", and he reeks of tobacco. "Are you ready?" He begins to gouge my gums with the water pick, causing intense pain. Each time I grimace he just says "Floss more." Throughout the procedure, water is splashing everywhere down my face and my clothes are getting wet. I have never had a cleaning that was this painful. Then, in the middle of the cleaning, he HANGS the suction tool on my cheek and leaves for two minutes. The cleaning was so painful that I tell him to stop. I'm two seconds from standing up and leaving and telling the office to go to hell, when he says "ok, quick polish." Fine. He polishes my teeth and says "ok, all done." They don't even ask if I want another appointment. I'm pretty sure they're aware of the absolute crap quality of the place. TO HELL WITH THIS OFFICE!
