I have just moved to a new area and went to a new doc. This new doc was easy to find on Google and I thought he had a professional appearing website. I was referred to a Charles Laudati by a co-worker. However, I learned that the doctor I went to was his son. Dr. Nicholas Laudati... assuming that he would be just as good was where I went wrong.
Since I had to see the hygenist Dr. Laudati had to inject me with Novacaine to numb the areas. This guy got a little happy with the injections and I wound up losing my smile. Dr. Laudati PARALYZED HALF OF MY FACE! I was hoping that it was just the swelling and numbness that was causing my face to react like this. However as time went by my numbness never disappeared, but my smile did.
I have learned from a neurologist that I am now permanently paralyzed in half of my face. How sad for me to have to turn my face if I want to smile and not seem like I am sneering at people.
I am extremely embarrassed and very sad that I chose this guy against my best judgement. I am taking solace in writing this (though it is painful to fully accept that this is my face for the rest of my life) and am hoping that someone will think twice about seeing Dr. Nicholas Laudati prior to accepting any treatment from him.
When I contacted the Doctor and emailed him photos of my paralyzed face, he first claimed that the numbness would resolve itself in less than 2 weeks. I can't believe I had to reminded him that my appointment was over 2 weeks ago. "Family and community dentist" my you-know-what!!!
He then emailed me saying I might want to look into facial fillers or Botox to be injected to other areas of my face to "even out my smile". NO thanks!!! What a crock.
