Business ProfileforStuart A. Liss D.M.D

On a recent visit for a routine cleaning, I was told by a hygienist that I was due for full dental x-rays. I explained that I do not like to expose myself to unnecessary radiation, do not have dental insurance and was not experiencing any issues. The hygienist told me she would have to speak to the dentist. After a long wait, she returned with one of the new dentists. (female) She was so abrupt that I wasn't able to hear her name. The website has not been updated to include any information about this dentist. I was then informed by this dentist that I would not be able to have my teeth clean unless I consented to full x-rays. I reiterated my feelings and also, stated that I have never been told in all the years I have been a patient of **************** that I had to have such x-rays. Typically, I have only had to see the hygienist. Her response was that **************** practice was "no longer a fit for me." When I asked about ************, she added that he is there to support "them." This dentist was rude and I felt completely bullied by her. My husband and I have been patients for many years. We always felt this was comfortable and very patient friendly practice. I cannot imagine that ************ would approve of this kind of patient treatment. I am a senior trying to keep myself in good health which obviously, includes dental care. I have reached out both through email and by sending a letter directly to ************. I have had no response to either.
