I have never received such bad service in my life. First off I came here the first time, ON TIME to my appointment for 1:30 pm. They told me the Dentist had an emergency and would not be around. I asked why didn't they call me before I came in for my appointment. They had the excuse that they were making calls now. That should have been strike one for me. But no I made an appointment for two weeks later at the same time on a Friday. I come in TODAY for my appointment and they told me its a TWO HOUR WAIT for my APPOINTMENT?? Once AGAIN I can understand new Patients waiting half hour or something but TWO HOURS? Ridiculous. I let the receptionist know and she was like your gonna have to wait like everybody else. Was this a WALK in dentistry!? She didn't tell me anything else except that. I leave the place annoyed because how can you expect anyone to wait two hours? I called back to let them know I came in for my appointment, but there was a two hour wait and why had not anyone told me before coming in? Apparently this new lady on the phone was in the back and lied to me saying my appointment was at 2:00. The later agreed that 1:30-2:00 didn't matter. You basically gave me the run away, and she was like you should have put your name on the list. I said your receptionist did not give me a list or told me to put my name down. She's trying to blame me for information I did not know. Then she agree the receptionist should have told me that and basically there was not anything she could do about it. For the love of your life, I gave this place a chance despite reading bad reviews but I didn't know just SEEING the dentist would be that difficult. If you have people waiting a little for there scheduled appointments I understand, but if I have an appointment at 1:30 and you tell me I won't be seen till 3:30 or more, we have a problem. Please, review where you go. I don't know how the dentist are but if there staff are that unprofessional and shitty then I really don't feel comfortable anybody associated with this business pulling out my teeth.

I went to Dental Specialty to have a wisdom tooth removed. When Dr. Maurer started to extract it, the deepest point of the tooth felt like it was being ripped from a live nerve bed. As I moaned to alert him, he stopped for a moment and when I told him I couldn't put the pain into words, he told me I wasn't feeling pain, it was only pressure. He then reached back in my mouth, clamped my tooth, and continued to yank and twist the tooth as I howled in pain and finally let out a blood-curdling scream from the excrutiating sharpness of the pain. The tooth suddenly dislodged. The experience was terrifying. He hurt me, he did not listen to me, he just railroaded on through the extraction. Afterwards as I tried to tell him how much it hurt, he sternly told me I felt no pain, that I wasn't listening to him and said if I was truly in pain, I would still be in pain. He repeatedly replaced the word "pain" with "pressure. His treatment of me was cruel and unempathetic. My tooth is healing fine, but the trauma of the experience has left me disturbed and I feel compelled to warn others. I am even having trouble sleeping. I wake up thinking of how he hurt me and wouldn't stop or believe me. have never in my life been completely disregarded by a doctor. Even the smallest bit of compassion and kindness (of which there was none)would have made a huge difference.
