Dr. Karthilde Appolon, DDS

DO NOT GO HERE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES!!!!

Short version: Told her I needed a tooth out, was very clear about that. Went to office, sat down in chair....oh yeah you need that tooth out. WHAT?!

Long version: I had a wisdom tooth that was absolutely killing me. I knew I needed it taken out. I was on high doses of percocet and Vicodin and it was barely making a dent in the pain. I had a friend who was in dental school visiting me that weekend, he looked at it and said you absolutely need it taken out asap. Called Dr. Appolon and explain VERY clearly. I need this tooth taken out, not a referral, not pain killers, I need the tooth out. Can....you....do....that? I mean this sounds obnoxious the way I am writing it now but I wanted to be very clear what I wanted and that she could do it. Her response: Yes come in and see me. Went to see the Dr. She sat me down in the chair, looked at the tooth and said "Hmmm, yeah you need that tooth out." I almost lost my mind. I wasted all my time in EXTREME pain getting there, and not looking for other Dr.s. I was livid. She then proceeded to give me an Rx of Naproxen. Me and my wife who was with me said I don't do well with NSAIDs. She said....and I quote! "Naproxen isn't an NSAID". Now I know she is a Dentist but she should really know what an NSAID is. Either way, I would never recommend anyone go to this Dentist under any circumstances. She put through a horrible experience when I was in the most pain in my life, just so she could charge me a $50 office visit. Wish I could give 0/5 stars.

I went in for a tooth cleaning with Dr. Appolon. She cleaned my teeth, and then told me that I had three cavities, and perhaps others that were in their early stages. I am not someone who is prone to cavities and felt no pain in my mouth, so I was very surprised. Before I had even sat up in the chair, she was forcing me to set a date for a follow-up appointment to have the cavities filled. I'm lucky my BS alarm went off... I went to my normal dentist for a second opinion. He looked at the X-rays she took, and saw nothing. Called her to ask for notes or if he was missing anything. She hung up on him. He looked at my teeth throughly, and said that I had no cavities.

I must conclude that Karthilde Appolon was just trying to make money at the expense of both my healthy teeth and well being. What happened to 'do no harm' ?

Excellent dentist. Very friendly and accomodating with hectic schedules

I have really bad teeth, I haven't been that good to them over the years. I've avoided dentist for a while mostly due to bad experiences or them making me feel bad about my teeth. With Dr Appolon I felt totally comfortable and even more importantly I felt informed about what was about to happen in my mouth. I left with cavities filled and no pain or discomfort afterwards. Dr Appolon provides excellent service as well as being friendly and current. I have been recommending to friends and family.

Dr. Appolon or Dr. Karty as she likes to be called is by far the best dentist I've ever visited. Her office is modern, but cozy, and does its best to help you forget you are at the dentist. I was most impressed by her knowledge of modern dentistry. I got the feeling that she was up on the latest trends more so than my former dentist who was well in his 60's. New machinery (star trek inspired I'm sure) and good old bedside manner, made me feel like I was getting top notch care. Being in the financial (yes still with a job) field, her hours are accommodating to someone with a hectic schedule. If you are person who wants quality service, cares about how you look, drops off your laundry (jk, but really) and want to be treated like the CFO you will be, Dr. Karty Appolon is your best bet. Later fellow yuppies.
