Sheila Field DDS

First, I would like to say Dr. Karp and his staff are absolutely wonderful, and I will miss them. In May, I was seen by Dr. Fields for a crown. During that awful very very long visit of attempting to place a temporary crown on, my nightmare began. While prepping for the crown Dr Fields mistakenly placed a pin in the bone and could not retract it. I asked her to just remove it and she said that she had tried and was unable to do so and would send me to oral surgeon. I of course was shocked and said, "what", and her reply was she not remove it, but don't worry she would pay for oral surgeon to remove. Wow! Next came time for her to fit and place temporary crown on which took about 2 hours. After leaving with very sore mouth and looking at oral surgery I was quite upset. Now mind you I have never had oral surgery so I did not know what I was about to face. Dr Fields made it sound very simple, but failed to mention the pain that I was about to encounter. After about week I went to oral surgeon appointment. Surgeon informed me that he would be doing a crown extension, which I had no clue what it entailed (since Dr Fields did not make me aware of), or how bad it would make my mouth feel. Surgery done and several days of being in horrible pain and unable to open my mouth or sleep on that side, pain medicine, and another visit back to surgeon in six weeks to be sure healed properly. Now it is July, since my mouth from surgery had to completely heal before I could have a permanent crown done that I still have my temporary crown. Yep the one that was so poorly shaped and placed that I have not been able to chew or use since May because of sharp edges and sensitivity. Now its August and I went to another dentist that I paid-out-of pocket for him to take the sharp edges off so that it would not cut my jaw or tongue. Now at this point it is September and still have temporary crown on and ready to just pull the tooth. I contacted another dentist that accepted my insurance and had decided that I would just pull the tooth because I was sick of dealing with the sensitivity and unable to chew on that side. Next I went to my current dentist and he said no reason to remove the tooth. So he made me a temporary crown which fit amazing. I left his office being able to chew on that side and a crown that didn't cut my jaw or tongue. A couple weeks later my permanent came in and I was in and out in about 15 minutes. Thanks Dr. Joe. Long story short, my nightmare began in May and finally got my my tooth fixed by November after visiting a total of 2 other dentists and an oral surgeon. Needless to say I DO NOT RECOMMEND HER!

I can tell Dr. Field has worked hard to master her craft and makes the necessary sacrifices for her practice to succeed...nice office!

Excellent,staff,and great experience with Dr.Field.
