I was advised by another dentist and an oral surgeon that implants would not be possible for me due to boneless. Dr. Higuchi was able to place two mini implants resulting in a wonderful bridge. I no longer have to wear a partial. So thankful!
My experience with the dental hygienist, Corinne was great. When I met Dr. Kubijek and then had 2 temporary crowns placed by him I raved about his demeanor and willingness to educate. I ate a small piece of softened chocolate today five days after the temporary crown placement and my lower temporary crown fell off. I called the office and since they were closed I called the on-call dentist phone number and reached the primary DDS of the practice, Dr. Higuchi. I told him about the crown, he asked if I had pain, I said I did. He said I would have to call the practice to schedule an appointment tomorrow since the office was closed.
No offer of information or education. I asked what I should do if the pain increased and he restated that the office is closed today. Really? I said I was expecting some "care". By this I mean: what can I eat or not eat, is there anything I can do to protect my sensitive tooth, etc. That's it people. His attitude was "the office is closed". I guess to him this means he has no responsibility to his or his colleagues patients and due to that I will only return to get these crowns completed then will move on to another practice with better on-call services.
Let me add- I am a nurse and have spoken to a multitude of on-call doctors who have no interest in being on call. Dr. Higuchi's demeanor was dismissive, which is unacceptable to me as a patient and as a nurse who advocates for patients rights and treatment. Not worth the risk!
We have come here for 7 years now. It speaks volumes that Dr. Higuchi's staff has remained the same the entire time! They are always very welcoming and thorough! My whole family loves them!
Going to the dentist can be intimidating! Fortunately, we have found Aspen Park Dental. The staff is extremely friendly and courteous. It is also family friendly so our small children get loving care.
