Tampa FL Dr. Harold Kirksey Bad dentist! Bad manors!

New to Tampa, I found Dr. Kirksey just by a zip code search with my dental insurance provider. I went for my initial appointment and 6 month cleaning in January. I was not impressed with Dr. Kirksey's idea of how to handle the doctor-patient relationship. He also does not give any respect to preventative dentistry and at my follow up appointment for some fillings, when I asked him to only fill the worst cavity so I could try to strengthen my teeth with alternative means, he still filled them all. When I saw the bill and found out he had done more work than I had explicitly asked, he scoffed and tried to tell me it was an issue of male-female communication chalking it up to how men are from mars and women are from venus. I frankly, was horrified. I have not and will never return. No dentist should be allowed to not respect the wishes of the patient.
