Dr. James J. Ostromecky, DDS

It has been a long time since I had a new dentist, but considering I am now an hour away from my previous one I thought it was time to make the move. I had one person recommend Dr. O, even though I was hesitant after reading the reviews. The staff is great and very kind, as well as Dr. Ostromecky however there is little communication and transparency regarding care. Last time I went to the dentist was a bit over a year ago, I haven’t had a cavity in years. The hygienist suspected I had a few but told me Dr. O would discuss my x-rays at my next appointment as he was out that day.nWell, my next appointment I was given a filling and told I had to come back for a couple of more. He never discussed my x-rays with me, I had to bring it up and ask questions to which he replied there were a couple more. When I went for the second filling I asked how many more I had an he said “10”, I thought he was joking. I said what are you doing today and can the filling that is worn wait or does it have to be redone now? He said “2”. I got those two fillings done, not realizing one was the filling that was “worn.” I was upset and felt like he was not being transparent about the work I was getting done and still had to get done. After that visit he told me I had to come back two more times, which at this point I requested my x-rays and sought a second opinion. The practice manager called me to check in an I explained to her my concerns.nWell, I went for a second opinion, got a full exam and more x-rays to which the other dentist told me he could find nothing. The other dentist also didn’t understand why he put in a silver filling without asking me if that is what I wanted, he said that filling also looked like old material and questioned whether I was sure that that was the tooth that was filled. I was relieved, but also very angry. Did I actually need the work that I had done? It is difficult enough finding new health/dental care, but not feeling like you can trust that doctor is a terrible feeling. Although the staff is great, I will not be being going back.

So after reading the reviews online about Jim and his practice I was skeptical about getting work done but honestly he was great he was very gentle I was having multiple fillings done in a day and he worked fast and got them done...I did have a problem with two and rather than just saying I would need a route canal he room the time to re X-ray they to see if we could save the teeth and we could I don’t know but all I can say was my experience with him was good and I will be going back.nAnd on a side note I brought my 5 year old to him for her first cleaning and though she was scared and we didn’t get the cleaning don’t jim was understanding and did what he could or what she would allow him to do.nIf your asking me Jim Ostremecky is alright In my book

I have been going to Dr. O for about 30 years. He is awesome. I moved to Shrewsbury and still returned to this practice as it feels like family. This cleaning, I had Darlene. She is awesome. I explained that I am not a fan of anyone touching my capped teeth. She took extra care when cleaning that area. I would recommend him as a dentist to everyone.

Dr. Ostromeky, recently pulled a tooth for me. His assistant provided the shots, and numbing agent prior to the extraction, She was excellent, and gentle. The Dr. pulled the tooth, I only felt a little pressure. After, I had little bleeding or pain. It has healed nicely without further issues. A big thank you. The front office staff (Charlene) have been extremely efficient in assisting with whatever you may need going forward. I highly recommend this dental office.

Scam? How about incompetent! After a filling, I had pain like never ever after a filling. His fix was to grind down the tooth to the gum!!! It's been some time now and the tooth is impossible to do anything but have it pulled.. never went back and my new dentist was actually speechless...and that isn't the only foolish thing he did. He put a hunk of filling material into a space between two teeth while he was filling one of them. I'd say after less than a month while flossing, the entire thing fell out!!!nThe only thing I can say is WHY IS THIS MAN STILL IN BUSINESS ??nListen...DO NOT GO THERE...the shock on my new dentist's face told it all, and he just couldn't believe the poor quality of work..and there are another one who ripped me and my insurance. Pay attention to patient reviews. If there are several that express such despicable treatments, WAKE UP AND SMELL THE STINK.
