If I could give Dr Linda Albert in Walpole MA no stars I would. Signed up for Unilocal just to warn others: DO NOT GO HERE. Consult went great and I thought I was in good care to begin the 2 crowns I need and was able to get at a fraction of the cost bc I found a dentist in the careington care network. One of the teeth had a new cavity in it so we did that one first as it was sensitive to cold. She drilled my tooth for over an hour nonstop while tugging aggressively on my cheeks which I kept saying hurt and I went from sensitive to cold to nonstop excruciating pain for 2 weeks until my second appointment (which was to put the crown on) Had to be numbed for this bc for the first time in 47 years I was crying in a dentist chair… CRYING! she took another x-​ray and assured me she was nowhere near my root and put a sealant on and referred me to a root canal specialist (that was not in the network and charged a $ 200 consult fee) Was told to sit with this a few weeks and see if it alleviated the pain with no explanation of how or why it worsened. I foolishly waited 7 weeks to be sure and when I made the appointment we allowed enough time to also begin the second crown. Not one mention that bc I waited this could cause a problem with my crown not fitting. Ironically the office called the day before and asked if I could come in early. I had broken a piece of bonding so I said sure if she could fix that as well. Arrived 10 mins late and then waited another 20. 30 minutes to fix a hairline chip of bonding then had to be numbed again just to remove the temporary (and wait even more for it to take effect) only this time something hit my tongue during her ever so «gentle» jab which caused it to start tingling and was just told «don’t fight it» when the tears started for the SECOND time in her chair as well as in my lifetime of dental work.
This is my 5^th crown and I’ve never needed Novocain on the follow up visit; let alone a second one… I suspect something else is going on here but Dr Albert has zero possibilities as to why I’m still in enough pain to warrant Novocain on a crown fitting.
Was VERY rudely told there was not enough time to start my second crown (Didn’t I come in early to do all 3 things and make a long appointment in the first place?) Guess my time isn’t a factor here only hers which is evident by the snails pace with with she moves. Think they gave me someone else’s crown bc it was a mile too high and after an hour of drilling the inside to try and make it work and running dental floss next to it (all while never once asking how the pain was, did I have a consult, or explain the point of this dental floss procedure repeatedly being done) and again being extremely aggressive and rough, in addition to being downright rude in addressing me when she even bothered to do so except to say it was my fault the crown didn’t fit bc I waited «a number of months» to come back. Did my bones grow in the last 7 weeks? How is it that my temporary still fits fine? And no one from the office could call to warn me of this possibility?
I wasted another 2 hours only to have new impressions made and the torture of having to see her one last time to put the new crown on and live w the sensitivity that I thought was going to go away by having the tooth crowned yet it remains despite me being out $ 600 and my options were… SILENCE.
NO BEDSIDE MANNER. I’ve been to numerous dentists throughout my life and have never ever had such a horrible experience. She’s extremely slow, extremely aggressive, extremely rude and speaks in a degrading manner even to the assistants. If I hadn’t already paid for this crown I would go elsewhere to start over as I already have an appt with another network dentist to begin the second crown. Moral of the story is you get what you pay for and the $ 1000 I saved by getting a $ 600 «bargain» would have been $ well spent to never have had to encounter this horrible, horrible dentist.

PS– Bring a parka the office is freezing cold to top it all off
