Seems they do not care about their clients after they paid money for services. Requested 2 times information about last visit to find out what has been done but both times they have ignored my emails. In addition, for the money you're paying I was expecting better service as they do not let the client to spit. That thing to suck extra saliva did not work well or was not set up properly. When I brought my mother to fix the tooth there she has told she was not given a chance to spit for a long time. She then visited another dentist and said the have give her chance to spit and experience was much better than in the Downtown Dental clinic.
