The most serious point in the feedback concerns an alleged abandonment of a patient in pain. According to the review text, a patient returned to the practice with a failed dental filling and worsening tooth pain, was told the situation was not an emergency and asked to come back later, and then developed an abscess before returning again. The reviewer describes the doctor leaving the office during the visit, with the staff reporting she would be away for an hour, and then being unavailable when the patient came back and when staff called her. The reviewer says no alternative options were offered and that the patient was ultimately sent to a hospital emergency room for an abscess and sepsis. These are the reviewer's allegations and perceptions of the events, and they are sharply critical of the doctor's professionalism, judgment about urgency, and sense of responsibility to a patient in distress. The review text offers no praise of the doctor's clinical skill, communication, or bedside manner, so the feedback does not support any positive conclusion about those qualities. Comments about the office staff are limited to the reviewer's account of a staff member relaying the doctor's whereabouts. The allegations are serious and, taken as the reviewer describes them, point to a significant concern about how urgent dental problems were handled.
