When I first went to see Dr. Newman, I told him I was very sensitive to pain, and he assured me that he was very understanding and patient. That was a lie!
He did an implant, but at a weird angle, which torqued the tooth nextdoor, necessitating me using a tooth straightening device to straighten that nextdoor tooth, to this day!
Dr. Newman also lied about the "abutment" being properly seated in the implant. It was never properly seated (discovered by an independent dentist's x-ray), and as a result, the permanent crown with abutment fell out into my hand!
Even with my husband present in the room, Dr. Newman yelled at me when I was in pain from inadequate local anesthetic injections.
I really feel for that other patient who had even a worse experience than I had.
Dr. Newman should pray for his immortal soul, because he is unrepentent, and i believe he is in denial about his very bad shortcomings!
I wish I had paid attention to the patient who felt pain from the torquing (torque wrench). That was a warning I should have heeded!!!
In the saga of getting an implant and permanent crown, I've met plenty of bad dentists, including Dr. Newman. A much better dentist is Dr. Borg. "Let the buyer beware"!!!
out of 5 stars
