Corbett I K Dr

Getting braces with K. Corbett was the WORST health-related process that I've ever experienced. I know lots of people don't mind his religious proselytizing but I found it excessive. I don't need to be told that my "teeth are in the hands of god." I'm not paraphrasing by the way. I did not appreciate that kind of aggressive pretentiousness. He was also very unprofessional as he would talk on the phone while working on clients' teeth. His communication skills were also quite poor for a professional. For instance, I had to get a hyrex before getting braces but he was unclear with me about how long I would have to wear it, saying "not for very long" and resisted my attempts to get a more specific answer out of him. I ended up having it on for too long and it caused problems for my teeth. He also recommended tightening the hyrex multiple times per day at one point, which other orthodontists told me was not recommended as it could cause nerve damage in the jaw area. His office also called us at like 10 PM to respond to our requests and were overall not courteous. My friends went to Dr. Bhalla in Williams Lake, who gave them (at no extra charge) brand new electric tooth brushes (valued at $190) when they got braces, and generally had a much better experience than I did. Many of the dentists in Quesnel recommend Corbett but I have to say, I was not impressed, especially since he wanted to charge me extra for replacing my post-braces retainer. He's nothing but a marketer and a twisted obnoxious prophet. My experience is not necessarily unique either as he drilled into my friend's gums at one point while talking on the phone and simultaneously doing some client work. He clearly doesn't take his job seriously. People might like him because he seems to joke around quite a lot but the reality is, he smiles too much. Generally, you should never trust someone who smiles all the time, has communication issues, and doesn't treat his clients with respect.
