Walker Michael J DDS

Full disclosure… I’m not one of those people who hates going to the dentist and have never had issues with any previous dentist office.
I’ve been here 5 or 6 times since moving to Tampa and I have had issues every time. My appointments have started late every time besides this last time. I had a cleaning scheduled last this week and got a call a couple hours before my appointment by the hygienist advising me I could come in early as she had an opening in her schedule, I figured she had nothing else on her schedule and wanted to finish me up so she could leave early, which was fine with me, I came in early and as expected, the appointment started early, but I was left hanging in the chair for about 20 minutes waiting for the Dentist after my cleaning. The Dentist never showed up and the hygienist advised me the dentist was busy and I could just leave. I was advised to make another appointment to talk to the dentist about a (small) issues I had with my teeth. I was so annoyed, I can’t remember what it was. Really? They didn’t consider the dentist wouldn’t have the same schedule gap when they advised me to come in early? This place is a logistical mess as I had to come in the next day after a teeth whitening that the (a different) hygienist screwed up. I don’t know about the rest of you, but I don’t have time to keep coming in twice for procedures that are supposed to be taken care of in one day. I’m also annoyed that they jammed me for an X ray that wasn’t covered by my insurance because it wasn’t 5 years since the last one. (can’t remember the name of the x-​ray) They never asked for it to be sent from my last dentist, but just jammed it in during the first visit and stuck me with the bill. I will not be going back to this place.
