I had been going to my normal dentist for five years before I tried Dr. Jeffrey Williamson, DDS in the Portland area. His office was closer to my new home so I tried to switch. At my previous dentist they always gave me a cleaning and billed my insurance. It was 100% covered and they never tried to "up sell" me.At Dr. Williamson's office they told me I needed a special $500 deep cleaning and my insurance wouldn't cover it all. I said no thanks, just a normal cleaning that's covered 100%. Then, before I knew it he was injecting me with Novocain! I didn't know it was a needle in my mouth until I felt the shot!I said what are you doing!? He said I needed to be numb for the "deep cleaning." I told him again I only wanted a normal cleaning. They said it was not medically ethical to only give me a normal cleaning. They made me sign a doc saying I was refusing medical treatment. How come my other dentist of five years never said I needed this extra special cleaning that costs more?

I was seeing Dr. Williamson for a few different issues. He put on several crowns for me that were clearly sized wrong (too short), I tried to tell him but he became very condescending and rude towards me. He gave me the Novocain shot that he purposely jabbed into my Lingual Nerve causing a jolt of pain to go through my mouth. Weeks later when my mouth still hurt, my bottom lip had shooting pains and my tongue was still a little numb I called him in which he said it must have been a mistake. However, I know that it was on purpose because I called him out on his mistake.I went to a new dentist to get an evaluation on the short crowns (my top and bottom teeth dont touch on one side) and he said whoever did the crowns did a terrible job. Its been 6 months and my Lingual Nerve still hurts and my teeth are still so painful I cant eat on one side of my mouth.I wouldn't recommend him to anyone he's a horrible dentist. He seems nice but don't call him on his mistakes.
