Dr. Joseph B. Suffridge, DDS

"Dr. Suffridge and his entire staff were the best. During my root canal, he kept me informed of what he was doing and would ask if I was doing okay. I would highly recommend Dr. Suffridge!"

"Staff was very nice and friendly. Mr.Suffridge was very sweet and nice and you front about everything. I got. Rootcanal and it went so fast and so smooth! I would definitely recommend him!"

"The rudest Doctor of any discipline I have ever had the displeasure of seeing. Two replacement fillings needed evaluation as to why it hurt upon biting. The technician was kind and had to do the cold test which caused pain. The tech then did the bite test to see if the problem area could be identified. I had already been to my dentist three times for adjustments and evaluations. A couple of the exams hurt like crazy so I was already nervous. I bit slowly to avoid sharp searing pain. Then Dr. Suffrage comes in and starts to do the same bite test. I again bite slow and backed off as soon as it became uncomfortable. I told him I could try and bite a little harder to help identify the problem. I wasn’t rude or whiny. He lost it! He said that if I wasn’t going to follow instructions then he couldn’t evaluate me. He needed to evaluate me in order to do his job and figure out where the problem was. Then continued on his rant (all loud and very obnoxious) that he had better things to do and he could be using his time doing other things. He repeated some of the things several times. He was clearly agitated and waving his arms, etc. I was shocked and stunned. I had already made it through majority of appointment and didn’t want to wait on another referral and evaluation for elsewhere. His opinion was he didn’t see anything wrong and he listed a couple options but thought it was something else other than the tooth or filling. Either tmj or neurological issues with past teeth (other side of mouth and lower jar-not upper). Well, it didn’t hurt until the broken filings were repaired. That tells me it is the teeth. Don’t go to this guy unless you want to be yelled at for offering to bite harder to help identify the area. Newsflash, I think I had better ways to spend my time as well. As for following instructions, you said to bite which I did. You never said how hard or fast. Be a little more clear with what you are doing, what the patient can expect, etc. and maybe people would respond to you better. Your technician could do it. Also, you deal with nerve pain, I can’t be the only patient who was scared of doing something they knew was going to hurt like heck. You made a bad situation so much worse. I will have a hard time going to any type of dentist in future thanks to this experience. Even after you treated me like that, I listened to your opinion, thanked you and settled up with the front desk. If I could control my emotions and be as cooperative as I could be, maybe you can be a little more humble and kind."

"Simply the best to tell you the truth friendly staff and I'm scared of needle's but I didn't feel any pain when I got my shot I definitely recommend Mr Suffridge. What a wonderful guy thank you and your staff"

"Watch your bill. He charged me for a Pulp vitality test, and he did not perform that on me. He xrayed and took a quick look and charged me 202.50 for the pleasure. Took all of 17 minutes. This is why we get dental done in another country."
