The Dentist Dr. Livy E Stoyka refused to finish a procedure that she started and had already paid for. On May 12 I went in to get a crown on tooth #18. The temporary was put on and a few weeks later the permanent was cemented. Less than one month of having the crown on it cracked and started to hurt so I went back to have it redone. She put another temporary crown on the tooth and charged me another 112.00 (for a total of 785.00) to have the crown replaced. A week later the tooth started to hurt once again so I called the office over the weekend and when I had got no response I went up there Monday morning in pain-she took a quick look and sent me to the endodontist (I went to mine not the one she suggested) blaming my tooth problem on a previous root canal. I went to the endodontist had it checked (she made me do this several times since I started goin there) and it was fine. The Endodontist gave me a paper stating the tooth was fine. I went back to the office and she refused to see me. I called there several times to see what was going on and my phone calls were not returned. When I called again for the 10th or 11th time on June 25 I was told my crown was in but she would not put it on. I must pay yet another dentist to do the work she was responsible for and paid to do. On June 26 I went to her office to pick up my crown and they would not let me have it unless i signed a release of liability form which i was forced to sign in order to get my crown-I did not want to sign the release of liability but was told if i didnt i would not get my crown they were holding my crown hostage until i signed this paper. They then denied me a witnessed copy of the release. I asked to be given the money I paid for this crown which they denied and unwillingly signed the release just to get my crown. I dont even know if its my crown or not until i see another dentist. She is the most negligent, fraudulent, unprofessional so-called dentist i have ever come into contact with and in my opinion should not be practicing dentistry
