Despite Positive Reviews, Several Patients Report Poor Experiences
A few patients at Dr. Avetoom's office expressed dissatisfaction with their appointments, citing issues with communication, hygiene, and customer service.
Uncertainty and Confusion
Some patients reported feeling disrespected, ignored, or disregarded during their appointments. For instance, one patient felt rushed and uncomfortable due to discussions on politics between the dentist and his hygienist. Another patient experienced a 3-hour delay due to a routine cleaning, and was met with dismissive responses when they inquired about the wait.
Hygiene Concerns
Several patients mentioned issues with hygiene during their appointments. One patient reported a blister forming due to improper suction management, while another patient experienced sensitivity and discomfort during their cleaning due to a replacement hygienist.
Communication Breakdowns
There were instances where patients were not informed about changes to their appointments or treatments. One patient was told that a specific hygienist was unavailable, without being informed beforehand.
Positive Experiences
Despite these issues, some patients reported having positive experiences at Dr. Avetoom's office. Several patients praised Cheryl, the hygienist, for her professionalism and excellent work.
