Last week I had a misfortune of acquiring dental expertise of Dr. Justin Philipp.\r
I was told that my problem was not very serious (not painful at all!) and can be easily corrected by strengthening the tooth structure with a crown at cost of $689.00. Next day, with a lightning speed of about 10 minutes of his participation Philipp removed some 80-85% of the tooth and left me at the mercy of his not so competent hygienist who for the next hour or so struggled with my bleeding and applying a temporary crown.\r
Few hours later the temporary crown came off and I found myself in excruciating pain.\r
I came back to the dental office where the same hygienist attempted to secure two different temporary crowns on three separate occasions with no lasting results. Finally she presented me with a little pocket of dental cement and implied that I shouldn’t be coming back until the permanent crown comes in.\r
Dr. Philipp could not be bothered. After five days of severe pain, with very little food and sleep, I decided to seek a second opinion evaluation. It turned out that for lack of competence and/or malicious intend the tooth was mistreated and fixing the problem will require extensive dental work at cost several times higher than the initial estimate from Dr. Philipp.\r

What can I say… I wish I could write a glorious praises for Philipp like the other ‘personalities’ here but I cannot.
