Very Pleased and Appreciative
Dr. Shea and his staff are always very pleasant and helpful. I also needed oral surgery and the doctor he referred me to was excellent. I've had 2 occasions when I needed to get into his office due to old crowns that cracked off, and they got me in quickly and made me comfortable while a treatment plan was initiated. I feel very comfortable recommending Dr. Shea and his office to anyone.

I paid Dr. Shea $2,000 for a lower plate. He said no problem. Then said lab would not make it. He had extra teeth and he would make it. It did not fit properly. I bit my cheeks when I chewed. After 2 adjustments with no improvement, I returned it. No refund tho. He was very rude and nonprofessional. STAY AWAY!!

I finally found a dentist who could restore the crown on my implant after being without a tooth for 1.5 years. Only a couple hours after getting my new crown it feels like it is a tooth that has been there all along. The customer service by the office staff and Dr Shea is beyond compare. Thank you!

Dr. Shea was abusive to his staff and (surprise!) to me, his patient, as well. When I asked staff members what was wrong with him they had the excuses ready: housing issues, sick wife, etc. A professional should leave his personal problems and anger management issues at home. I had X-rays, cone beam scans, pano X-rays sent to him after my first consultation. During my second consultation, it became readily apparent that he hadn't even looked at this information. He told me I needed close to 50K worth of work but since I was the victim of poor prior dental work he would reduce his fee if the total amount was paid upfront. As if. Found a different prosthodontist and am getting the help I need and it doesn't resemble Dr. Shea's treatment plan. Run.

He was extremely rude to his assistant and very impatient. The shading/color of my son's bridge is way off. His office staff(front office) are very rude and not accommodating to requests. When a complaint was filed I was called "incredibly ignorant" and told my wishes were "poorly conceived."

Dr. Shea charaged $6000 for an appliance that was poorly designed and which other professionals were unable to repair when it broke within the first year. Dr. Shea refused to reimburse any part of this fee and I now have to pay someone who knows what they are doing the same amount, and to start all over with this dental issue. He is rude to his staff and to his patients, and is not someone I could ever recommend.

I needed extensive dental work, every tooth, crown & implants for missing teeth. Dr. Shea gave me an estimate (he could not tell me the oral surgeons actual cost) & a discount if I paid cash (yay). He followed the treatment plan, referred me to an excellent oral surgeon (the implants never hurt) provided temps that the oral surgeon could work around that looked better than my teeth. Dr. Shea gave me a smile again!They were placed yesterday, I cried happy tears all the way home.
