questionble motivations

took my 14 yo daughter to dr. hershey for evaluation recently. dr. hershey told my daughter that her profile was not right and that she needed to have major surgery on her jaw for a 'textbook perfect face'. the surgery: $60,000. Not only was my daughter in tears in fro...nt of Dr. Hershey who was openly indicating that my daughter would have a better 'social' life if her face was 'perfect', when I asked her if the surgery was a "cosmetic" procedure verses an absolutely necessary procedure, she stated it was for cosmetic purposes only! $6000 for 18 mos of braces. She seems grossly focused on 'beauty' and much less so on function and necessity. Will be looking elsewhere for orthodontics treatment.

Save yourself

9 years ago, Barbara Hershey informed me that my teeth jutted out in an unattractive way. To rectify this gross disfigurement, she recommended that I let her file the sides of my teeth so that they might be able to realign in a more socially acceptable way. Convinced, I... allowed her to proceed. Not only was this procedure the most painful and horrifying of my life (including surgery), as the saw did not, in fact, stop at the gum line but instead continued straight through it, I was also informed by my dentist years later that Dr Hershey had effectively destroyed my enamel, making me substantially more cavity-prone. Today, my dentist discovered two cavities. Something to think about.

BadExperience

she perscribed additional work that 3 other Orthodontists said was not necessary. I would avoid her at all costs. Her motive appears to be money alone.
