Doctor Shida's main office is located a in Las Cruses New Mexico. Thats about an additional hour/ hour and one half beyond the hour / hour and a half I was already traveling to get to her satellite office in Deming New Mexico from wher I live in Silver City. I am retired / disabled; in a wheelchair. So, when I make an appointment of this type, I have to book with special transportation 72 hoiurs in advance. That said . . . .
My old dentist had retired. So I was in the market for a new dentist. A had decided to try doctor Ashida as she had advertised taking Medicare insurance and there didnt seem to be any others in my town. Doctor Ashida had opened a satellite office in Deming an hour 1/2 from my home. I was past due for a general exam and cleaning. I needed two crowns glued back as well. They where glued back my first appointment. So fast I thought; I was impressed. Eating was painfull though. When I reported that to the office they said that was normal and it would get better with time.
Well, after my second appointment, a filling doctor Ashida installed fell out after the second week. When I informed the office, NO appology or follow-up to fix to problem was scheduled. I had an apointment already scheduled so I thought we would take care of it then. But when I showed up for the following sheduled appointment, there was no one at the office. Keeping in mind arranging transportation for me is a big deal. When I called the main office in Las Cruses they said they had cancelations and closed the Deming office. This happened once again. Thanks it!
I have since been trying to get my dental records from the office sent to my new dental office. I get a different story each time why they cant. I have given my phone number and email a number of times so that I can FAX back a release. Isnt there a law? This dentist is not only incompentent and is surounded by a staff of clowns.
