We went to this dentist because he was the only one taking patients on our dental plan. It turns out that's because he's a quack! After a long wait my husband and I were taken in for X-rays then the dentist came out to say our teeth were fine. He didn't even examine our mouths! We went in for a cleaning later and the hygienist just used an electric toothbrush and a fluoride rinse.

For our next exam we went to another doctor and he told us that we had a lot of work that needed to be done and it was plain as day on the X-ray. The problems had been allowed to worsen because Dr. Smiles missed them on the first "exam".

Don't go to him he's a complete fraud! I've also heard rumors of prescription drug abuse, who knows. But what is true is that he should be out of business and lose his lisence.

That "Dentist" is horrible!

AUTHOR: Kryz - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Thursday, July 16, 2009

Dr.Larrick is a horrible dentist.He was our family dentist until he messed up my fathers mouth.He did work on him and my dad ended up with a bone infection.Had to stay at the hospital for awhile and ended up coming home with a PICC line for months.As well as the terrible pain from the oral surgeon to fix what he screwed up.Dr.Larrick let an electrian help him on my dads mouth on an emergency visit with no gloves and nasty hands.Dr.Larrick told my dad he was a wussy for acting as if he was in pain.I thought dentist are supose to be sensitive not jerks.Dr.Larrick knew what he did was wrong and settled out of court with my dad and my dad got a little money for lost wages out of it.In my opinion he should have sued the crap out of that guy!Your mouth is a very sensitive area and if your gonna be a dentist then you should be careful how you treat people!

Not my personal experirence...

I have been in Gainesville for two years and found Dr. Larrick in the phone book. I went to another dentist who prepped me and at the last minute asked me to leave the office since I could not afford the $500 charge at that time. I did not find this at Dr. Larricks office, not only is his office clean and full of interesting dental nick-naks his credentials and articles written about his accomplishments, on the whole, gave me a sense of ease and comfort. Dr. Larrick and his staff gave me what I needed and only what I needed. It is possible that this person didn't need what SHE thought she needed.

I personaly feel that the internet should not be used to slander business owners who may or may not have wronged another.

I highly recommend Dr Larrick

AUTHOR: Shelley - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Tuesday, August 15, 2006

Dr Larrick may be seemingly "crazy" but he does amazing work. I have had several cavities filled, I have had tooth extractions, regular cleanings/x rays and I have never had a problem with Dr Larricks work.

In fact, I have been amazed at his ability to save two of my teeth which I had pretty much given up hope on. Dr larrick has NEVER written me a prescription for no reason (to negate that comment about drug abuse). I'm not sure how one would come to that conclusion, perhaps people should not listen to rumors. I would like to thanks Dr Larrick for saving my teeth and saving me $ (I don't have insruance and he knows it, he works with me so that I dont get taken to the cleaners)
