She has had a slight fear of dentists so we decided to do this here where the reviews were so great and they claim to be gentle and kind regarding these types of patients. Appointment was booked a month in advance, and we continued to book both flight and hotel.
When we arrive in Riga we get an e-mail the night before that she has to confirm the appointment, as if that already wasn't clear. The booking was made and confirmed already by e-mail the previous month.
We voiced our concern of this behavior and they tell us on the same day to just come earlier.
We arrive moments later, an hour or so before the initial appointment, and we're treated as if we're late. Strong indications that they have double booked and are low on time due to this.
They claim they only wrote down to have 1 tooth fixed, and if we don't have recent x-rays from a dentist already they will not take her in.
Luckily I had this covered beforehand as we visited a dentist in Norway in advance, but what in the world is this kind of process and treatment.
We demand that appointment is upheld and that both teeth will be looked at and they reluctantly agree, but they rush it to the extreme, and my wife was full of tears, along with uncleaned bloody mouth by the end of it. The male doctor working there could not have been more unsympathetic and I have never before witnessed such cruel, rash, and unprofessional behavior from any kind of clinic. My wife's slight fear of dentist has now only worsened. I was initially planning on having work done here as well at a later date, but no way am I going back here.
To you reading this, I am warning you: stay clear.
