If I could rate with 0 stars, I surely would. I had the most horrible experience with this dentist years ago. I'm very surprised he still has a license to practice dentistry. I went to this practice because we hadn't lived in Missoula very long and I needed to find a dentist for a painful tooth. I chose this particular dentist because he was supposedly good with patients who had dental anxiety. He didn't give me enough novacaine, and I repeatedly told him that I was in pain. He actually told me to be quiet, and then proceeded to say the pain was all in my head! I wish I would have reported him at the time. I never went back. I would never recommend this dentist to anyone.

I think Dr Whalen is an artist. I have moved about the country and great deal, and have therefore seen many dentists. Dr. Whalen greatly lives up to his name as the gentle dentist and does beautiful work. In a few moments he fixed issues with my teeth that had been problems for many years. One of the finest dentists I have ever had the good fortune to be treated by.

What an incredibly bad experience. This dentist should not be practicing any further. He argues with his patients and blames other dentists for any problem. After over 25 years as a patient I will never go back. This dentist has serious personal issues. If I could have rated him a zero I would have.

I really liked this dentist at first, but on my 3rd visit, I had left several messages over the weekend about a problem I was having with a filling this dentist put in. It was a filling that went in between two of my teeth. The problem I was having, which I described over the phone in my messages, was that the filling he had placed was causing me a lot of discomfort, and that it felt like it was going to get ripped out when I flossed between those two teeth. When I showed up to my appointment, Dr.Whalen acted like he had not listened to my messages, he went straight into trying to put another filling on a different tooth. I stopped him and told him that I would really prefer if he addressed my problem that I had called about first. He got extremely irritated, visibly, and asked me what I had an issue with. I told him that I had left a few messages over the weekend describing my problem, and asked if he had listened to them at all. He proceeded to get more irritated, and told me that that was his receptionist's job. I was a little disturbed by his tone, but I described my problem to him, and he opened my mouth and drilled on the filling that was causing the issue for a few seconds, then asked me if it was better. I told him that the main problem was when I was flossing, and that it would be hard for me to tell without trying to floss. This time, Dr.Whalen got increasingly irritated, put all of his tools down, and pushed a piece of floss into my mouth, none too gently, and yanked it back out from between my teeth very quickly, causing me to jump in pain. He looked at me and told me to sit down and "stop being dramatic", then held the piece of floss up in my face and said, "if there was anything wrong with my filling it would have cut the floss. I'm done with this, you need to get out of my chair and find a new dentist." I was so taken aback, I didn't get up right away. I looked at the hygienist, and she had put both of her hands up and moved away from the chair. I looked back at the dentist and said, "are you serious? I'm not complaining about your work I just need you to fix it, it's causing me pain." Dr.Whalen got up and walked away, then from the other room he said, "you need to leave. Let me know when you find a new dentist and I'll send them your x-rays." And then he shut the door on me. I was furious. On my way out, I told him and the receptionist that I was reporting the incident to the Montana Board of Dentistry, and he just laughed at me. I have never had a worse experience with a dentist, not even as a child. I would never recommend this dentist, even if he was the last one in town that accepted Medicaid.
