Reviews for "The Latest Advancements in Dental Technology at Dr Pagan's Practice"

1. Sarah - 1 star

I had a terrible experience at Dr. Pagan's dental clinic. First of all, the receptionist was extremely rude and unprofessional. Secondly, the waiting time was ridiculous - I waited for over an hour past my scheduled appointment time. When I finally got in to see the dentist, he was rushing through the examination and barely listened to my concerns. The lack of care and attention to detail was evident in the end result, as my dental issue was not resolved properly. I would not recommend Dr. Pagan to anyone looking for a dentist who truly cares about their patients.

2. John - 2 stars

I visited Dr. Pagan's dental clinic for a routine cleaning, and I was disappointed with the overall experience. The hygienist was rough and seemed inexperienced, as I felt discomfort and pain throughout the cleaning. Additionally, the dentist himself did not take the time to explain any findings or give me proper oral hygiene instructions. The lack of communication and professionalism left me feeling unsatisfied and unheard. I will be looking for a new dentist who values their patients' comfort and wellbeing.

3. Amy - 2 stars

My visit to Dr. Pagan's dental clinic was nothing short of disappointing. The waiting area was cramped and uncomfortable, with outdated magazines from years ago. The dental tools appeared old and worn, making me question the cleanliness and hygiene standards of the clinic. During the examination, Dr. Pagan seemed disinterested and distant, barely asking any questions about my dental history. Overall, I did not feel like a valued patient and will not be returning to this clinic in the future.
