Community Health & Dental Care

I recently saw Dr. Syed Fahim at CHDC in Pottstown for the first time. I was given x-rays by an assistant who was apparently trying to cause as much discomfort as possible. Dr. Fahim arrived, looked at the x-rays, told me I had three cavities, and did a cursory examination with only a mirrored tool that lasted approximately one minute. During this time, I told him that I had temperature sensitivity and was unable to chew on the left side. He seemed to brush it off, equating it to my cavities. I was told that I was done and to schedule my appointments for a cleaning and fillings at the front desk. Please note that you can only get one filling at a time. During my next visit Dr. Fahim drilled my tooth and had his assistant complete the fillings! He also, during both visits, missed the molar right next to where he drilled that had a large infected hole in it. I saw my GP shortly thereafter for pain, fever & was given antibiotics for the tooth infection Dr. Fahim missed.
