Dr. Olivia Santillan, DDS

During my last with Dr. Santillan she was numbing my gum area in preparation for adding a filling to a damaged tooth. During this process Santillan penetrated so deep with the needle that she literally pierced into my sinus cavity...which then shot the numbing agent right up through my sinus channel, into my nasal passages and then it started to run down the top of my throat. It truly was a bit frightening as the top of my throat area started to numb up and I started to feel like I couldn't swallow...or if I could I couldn't feel myself do it as it had numbed up. I jumped up out of my chair and told Santillan I needed to go to the restroom, as admittedly, it was kind of scary to say the least. Further, when getting a root canal with their endodontist, at the same office, he accidently bumped his tool/drill hard up against the inside of my gum and literally tore up an area of the gum. Please stay away. I cannot recommend this dentist on ANY level.
