Dr. Lori Cardellino AVOID this Dentist at All Cost! Ventura, California

I went to a health expo at the Los Angeles Convention Center a couple of years ago and met Dr. Lori Cardellino there.  I was so impressed with her knowledge so I decided to go to her to have all my amalgams taken out since I am on a holistic cancer protocol and needed to have any amalgams in my mouth taken out before doing the Gerson Therapy.  I was excited to finally get my amalgams out and have white composites put in.  Dr. Cardellino's office is well-equipped with all the required standards for removing amalgams properly without inhaling the toxic mercury. 

On my first visit, she hurt my teeth so bad and my last tooth was in so much pain that I ended up having a root canal (with another dentist).  The rest of my teeth where the amalgams were removed were okay but my bite was very off because I couldn't close my mouth fully. On top of it, during the procedure she gave me a mercury tattoo on my bottom lip!  She turned to her assistant and asked her "how did that get there?" She didn't do anything to remove it. 

In fact, she blamed me for "moving too much."  Let me remind you that I am on an intense cancer protocol and mercury is very toxic.  After my procedure, I was hoping that the pain on my last molar would subside since she told me that it was normal to feel pain for a few days.  After a week, the pain got worse.  After 2 weeks it was so unbearable that I begged her to see what was causing the pain in my last tooth.  I called her very early on a Friday so I can try to see her that day but she got mad that I "bothered'' her at such an early hour. 

I went back the second time (on a Monday) and my bite was still not fixed.  My last tooth was so unbearable that I just decided to go to another dentist to have a root canal.  I couldn't wait one more day.  I will AVOID this dentist at all cost.  Her knowledge is superb but she is a terrible dentist with terrible manners!  I would never recommend her for anything even if her service was free.  I still have the mercury tattoo on my lip.  Beware, she attends all kinds of health expo and even speaks at conventions.  Like I said she's got an impressive knowledge in holistic dentistry but her hands on are downright terrible!  You will be sorry...I was...very, very, sorry!
