Stewart Carina Gacusan DDS Family Dentistry

I’ve been with this dentist for about 4 years now and I only went with her for convenience. She’s heavy handed for a dentist and gave me a panic attack when she cleaned my teeth. I had gotten my teeth cleaned by my previous dentists and Dr. Stewart’s dental assistant and never had any problems occur. As soon as she did it, she was very rough and it was the first time I’ve ever experienced pain getting my teeth cleaned. She’s a terrible dentist. Save your insurance money and invest in a real and skilled dentist that won’t rough up your mouth. She does not coherently answer your questions; she’s also not warm and welcoming. Don’t waste your time with this dentist. Her male dental assistant is very nice and gentle but Dr. Stewart is really unskilled and guaranteed you’ll experience problems in her personally doing your teeth.

The office is filthy. The dental rinse water from the tubes smells like fish. The dentist doesn’t even say hello. All she does is give anesthetic injections (which hurt like hell), bang your teeth with her mirror and drill. There are wires running along the floor and rust in the sink. She took an x-​ray and told me I needed a filling and then after she got through I was told by her assistant that I needed a root canal and crown. The assistant put in a temporary filling. Half if the filling fell out when I got home. I did not eat anything. I did no chew on it. I phoned and I was told the dentist was with a patient and would call me back. She never did. This was on a Friday. I left a message on Monday. On Tuesday, late afternoon, I phoned just to tell them I would not be going back to them again.
