1 /5 John Chiappone: My wife came back from a visit with Dr. Wood feeling uncomfortable and like she was taken advantage of. Heres why:
1. Fear mongering: Dr. Wood told my wife that her root canal was going to cause serious problems, despite it causing any current issues. He used scare tactics and sent her home with a brochure called “The Root of Evil” (photo attached). He also made my wife get an X-ray that wasn’t covered by insurance just to look at one tooth, and told her that if they didnt look at it there was a chance it could lead to cancer.
2. Inappropriately talking about my wifes appearance and guilting her into a product by critiquing her teeth: Dr. Wood told my wife she needed to purchase their Invisalign-like product, SureSmile, by saying “Your teeth look like buck teeth, but they’re not. I’m not flirting with you, but SureSmile would make such an improvement on your overall appearance and smile.” My wife said she had already used a similar product, and Dr. Wood scoffed saying "Well, they didnt work".
3. Inappropriately talking to my wife while rubbing her neck: Dr. Wood rubbed the back of her neck checking for lumps/throat cancer, and while doing it said “If it feels good it’s extra.”
Overall, she wont be going back and felt like they tried to push several products on her via awkward and inappropriate methods.
