1 /5 PanamaSticks: My experience was several years ago. Frankly I dont know about Dr. Douglas. His patients like him. But my experience with his hygienist was hell on earth. And so I never went back to his office. I went to Douglass office with no real problems to report, excepting some cold and hot sensitivity. But my main reason was to get a cleaning and exam. I was in pain for three weeks after she got done with me. Nearly all of the work was done with a high intensity ultrasound scaling tool, which irritated the hell out of my teeth and gums. She had her hands in my mouth almost continuously, so I was choking on my spit. They dont let patients rinse and spit, so you have to wait till she vacuums the spit out of your mouth. Which was pretty much NEVER. Finally all of this torture was being conducted while she ranted about her husband. (Or was that the ex-husband? Cant remember.) Maybe she just had a bad day. Or maybe I couldve requested a different hygienist next time... I dont know. I didnt want to risk a second visit.
