1 /5 TaQuilla Caradine: WARNING!!!!! Dr. Shafeeq Bader is an ABSOLUTE HACK!!!! There are no words to express the horror Ive gone through having gone to this dentist.
Coming into the New Year was hell as Dr. Bader attempted to give me a crown that I NEVER needed. This man drilled through my tooth haphazardly leaving material from the existing filling and dental putty. The temporary crown he put on BROKE TWICE, within 48 hrs, the second within 24 hrs. Both of those visits were horrible and the incompetence of himself and dental assistant were on full display as they took 4 different impressions of my tooth on the first visit and 3 on the second visit.
When the temp crown broke for a second time I decided to go to my former competent dentist who was out of network for my insurance. This means within 8 days my tooth was worked on 3x leaving me in an immense amount of pain as the nerve endings had been exposed to so much trauma. Dr. Bader did return my money however the composite fillings he gave me in October of 2024 are in need of repair, just 6 months later, the fillings he convinced me I needed to be replaced, my previous fillings were fine.
His incompetence is next level, the difference between the composite filling and my tooth is super obvious and I cannot chew on one side of my mouth. I have never had issues like this until visiting Dr. Bader. If you are reading this, please save yourself pain, misery, money, and time. The reviews are not accurate as he offers an incentive for 5 star reviews. I have no idea what my insurance is going to do about this tooth as it was just treated 6 months ago and it didnt even need to be. FIND ANOTHER DENTIST!!!!
Visited my dentist 5/2/25 and he is again baffled as to why my mercury fillings were removed, turns out I have a really high nerve on the tooth Im experiencing pain and he would have never touched and cant touch it now as it may cause constant pain for years. Also he did in between fillings and I have new X-Rays show no decay between my teeth. And the cleaning this office did in October was no where near a professional dental cleaning like the one I just had a few days ago. I curse the day I came across this dentist.
I truly believe that Dr. Bader tells patients that they need things to get money from our insurance. It is my belief that they are committing insurance fraud.
