Dr. David Bastacky

I have had a completely different experience than the previous patient. Dr. Bastacky took the time to give me a thorough examination and thoroughly explain the procedure. He was totally professional and did not talk with his dental assistant about anything while I was having the procedure, other than his request to hand him dental instruments. He encouraged me to contact him if I experienced any problems before my next visit. My 18 year old son was also a patient, having had all 4 wisdom teeth extracted by Dr. Bastacky. My son was as comfortable as possible and had absolutely no complications after the surgery. I have recommended the doctor to friends of mine. I find him to be an excellent oral surgeon.

I was referred for a wisdom tooth extraction and a consultation for a possible extraction of another one. His receptionist was quick to charge me $445/- before I even saw Dr Bastacky. His dental assistant took my radiograph and then led me to the dental chair and shoved a coupld of papers for me to sign and pointed out the place where I had to sign and date. Dr Bastacky hardly spoke to me before the procedure, did not explain the radiographs he had taken, did not explain what he was about to do and just proceeded to put a mouth guard in my mouth and extracted both the teeth without even finding out what medications if any I was on. He and his dental assistant then went on to discuss mundane matters during the procedure and had no empathy towards me. I was anxious, tearful and felt violated. Had I not signed the consent form his dental assistant had shoved in my hands without explaining the procedure, I would have sued him for assault. PLEASE DO not go to this person as he lacks professionalism and treated me as one would treat inanimate objects.
