Wisdom tooth extraction in 238 Dentistry clinics worldwide with additional parameter

Taken care of by Dr. Muše & Sanja, along with, previously, Dr. Lukšić & Antonia.. An honorable mention - Maja at the front desk. From sinus lift, through aligners to front gap closed. Calm, polite, and knowledgeable + given the nature of my work, very flexible and understandable.

DenTech has saved me a couple of times. I had an abscess and needed an emergency appointment a few months ago. They were very forthcoming, caring and provided professional care with the most up-to-date dental services. While I was there, I met Dr. Tamara Sugic, a consummate aesthetician. I have had two separate appointments with her. She really knows how to enhance but not overdo. She has Botox, fillers and boosters available and knows the latest techniques. It was very convenient as DenTech is in the same office. I am quite pleased with the results. I will come see her whenever I visit Split for my dental appointments.

I have been coming to Dentech since 2020, during which time I have had 3 implants, 6 crowns, 1 bridge and one root canal. Always pleasant and professional service in a modern, bright clinic. Maja, the receptionist and liaison for foreign clients is always helpful and accessible and speaks excellent English. Split is a great place to stay whilst having your treatment. We stay out on the beach in Kaštela about 20 minutes drive from Dentech, and 15 minutes from Split airport. You can park round the back of Dentech, for 1 euro an hour.

This is the best clinic in town according to service , and very nice doctors and Ladies at the reception! Highly recommend!!

MDDr. Zajícová Ivana did a great job from the perspective or a lot of dentists I've seen :)

I have been visiting The Clinic for over a year now, and always felt that the patient care was excellent. My dentist, doctor Studeny looks after me and my teeth health. He has carried out various dental procedures over the months, always painlessly and very skilfully, and I have always been very happy with the outcome. As a consultant, I am very busy and constantly on the road, so I really need a tailor-made service. And I got it. From initial contact over the phone with the front desk, my queries and subsequent appointment was handled efficiently. Dental staff were very professional, communicated well making the whole process as easy as possible. All The Clinic‘s team is very professional and delivering the best care I‘ve ever known. I would not believe that visiting a dentist can be a very enjoyable experience. Thank you for your care and great approach.

I came here 5 or so years ago and have finally come back. After 3 different private dentists in the past 5 years, none of them were as good as this dental practice. Dr Martina Tóthova and her team were incredible. I will never go to the dentist in the UK again. Nothing is impossible for these guys. Honest, excellent work. Fabulous high tech practice and I slept through most of it. I look forward to coming to this dentist and am so happy with the results. Thank you to Dr Jakubenko and his practice. I will return here for as long as I live. Thank you.

Very friendly professional staff. Dr Jakubenko is an excellent dentist and her genuine enthusiasm for what she does really shines through. I always feel like I am going to be taken care

Kvalident Dental Clinic in Prague is the epitome of excellence in dental care. From the moment you step in, the friendly ambiance and swift, high-quality services are evident. I had the pleasure of getting a composite filling done by Anastasija Jakubenko, whom I can't recommend enough. The entire process was pain-free, smooth, and efficient. Throughout, I was kept informed and provided with insightful recommendations. When it comes to dental hygiene, Nelly Hošková stands out as a consummate professional who excels in her role. Kvalident is undoubtedly my top pick in Prague for dental care!

Recently, I had the wonderful opportunity to replace my old veneers with new ones, and I couldn't be happier with the results. The process was smooth and efficient. The dentist and her team were highly skilled and made sure I was comfortable throughout. The new veneers have not only improved the appearance of my smile but also boosted my confidence. I'm grateful for the attention to detail and the commitment to achieving the perfect fit. If you're considering replacing your veneers or getting a new ones, I highly recommend this dental practice for a fantastic experience!

Jättebra och trevligt folk. The best place and all dentist take care and are so nice and they have one (dentist) speak Swedish. Thanks Anna and all dentist I can't stop smiling

I had a prof cleaning procedure. The hygienist doctor was nice and gentle, spoke English, answered all my questions and gave instructions how to improve my teeth state at home. Convenient to pay by card in clinic.

Thank you to the entire Wójcik Dental Clinic team. My thanks go especially to Dr. Adam, who made my smile beautiful. Dr. Adam did a lot of hard work for me with due care, accuracy and precision. Dr. Adam is a professional who is worth trusting so that, like me, you can enjoy not only a beautiful, but also a healthy smile. Once again, I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your patience, understanding and for allowing me to regain my self-confidence.

I wholeheartedly recommend the Wójcik Dental clinic. I have had two implants implanted and previously had two extractions (including a not fully grown wisdom tooth). Both tooth extraction and implantation were performed by Dr. Adam Wójcik. Both procedures were successful. The implantation, which I was most afraid of, turned out to be definitely painless, both during and after it. Moreover, I will add that Dr. Wójcik is a master when it comes to anesthesia, which works exactly in the treated area and wears off quite quickly after the procedure, so you are not paralyzed for several hours. Each visit is accompanied by competent information. Visits to Wójcik Dental Clinic always take place in a very nice and friendly atmosphere, and jazz standards playing in the background help you relax.

I found the Wójcik Dental Clinic by accident, a few months ago, when I was looking for a place where I could undergo orthodontic treatment with Invisalign overlays. I managed to arrange a free consultation during the open day with Dr. Adam Wójcik. I am glad that I was lucky enough to find this doctor and undergo treatment under his supervision. :) From the first visit I could feel the professionalism. The doctor was thorough, he explained everything very carefully, answered all questions and suggested the perfect solution. I also consider it a huge advantage that during the consultation, the doctor himself talked about the additional cost of retention and provided possible options - thanks to this, the total cost of treatment is known in advance and there are no surprises at the very end. :) Each visit takes place in a very nice atmosphere, is carried out thoroughly and not hastily. Currently, my treatment is coming to an end - all that remains are the details, which the doctor takes great care of so that both the patient and himself are satisfied with the effect. The difference is huge! In just a few months, I gained a new, beautiful and healthy smile. :) Dr. Adam also offered me additional treatments after the treatment, thanks to which my smile can be even more perfect, but still natural. In short - I highly recommend Wójcik Dental Clinic and Dr. Adam to anyone who is thinking about starting their adventure with Invisalign. The clinic offers competitive prices while maintaining great professionalism and taking care of the patient's well-being. During treatment, at each stage, the next steps are carefully discussed and any doubts are dispelled. I already know that it was a good decision and that after the treatment I will continue to be a patient of this clinic. I highly recommend it!

Had an appointment on 06.09.23 at 15:00, waited for 55 minutes then left, front desk with no one to tell I’m leaving, they ask for a lot of money (150+250 euro) for short term cancellations but they have no respect for your time.

Despite Termin, had to wait 1:30 min to see the doctor. Name is Andrey Bolger, please double check again. I am real customer who paid real money.

I am rewriting this review because I have been THREATENED and BLACKMAILED by post by this clinic because of my honest review. Please be aware this clinic is the worst clinic in Berlin, and a total scam. If you look attentive you can see that most of the good reviews are made by fake profiles which mean they pay for good reviews and BLACKMAIL honest ones. I am suffering for more than 5 months because of a bad treatment made if this clinic. They opened and treated the wrong teeth, they don't give me any xrays of what they have done. My new dentist found prohibited material inside my teeth and I'm going for a tomography this week to see exactly what they did inside the root of my teeth that don't stop hurting. They made the worst root treatment possible, didn't give me any antibiotics or painkillers the whole month of treatment and could not finish it. PLUS, they wanted to take my teeth out which is a complete absurd. I am waiting for the new results of exams to take action against this "clinic" if you can call it that. BE AWARE!!!! STAY AWAY!!!!!!!! New status: December 2017. I’m going through a surgery right now because of the horrible treatment received on this clinic. Edit 2023: I am still being blackmailed by this clinic and had to prove to google after they put a lawyer after me that I was a client and they faked my teeth was bad and needed to be removed for thousands of euros. It’s insane how they pay this reviews and blackmail real ones. Do never go to this clinic if you care for your mouth.

The receptionists are very kind and they all speak english - that's a huge plus for someone who doesn't speak fluent German. Also it's 24/7. This is how dentists should operate. This is the best Dentist in all of Hamburg!!! I recommend this to everyone.

My appointment with Julia Diedrich was seamless. She was very helpful and friendly. And she gave me some good advice for upcoming treatments.

I had an excellent experience in AllDent with my last treatment. The best thing is, I had no appointment and AllDent accepts patients 24x7. The receptionist was very polite and helped me with the registration. The doctor did an amazing job to complete my treatment. It was completely painless and also with a long term solution approach. Thanks

Excellent clinic, I come from another city, I have been treating for 3 years. Recently I was forced to go to another clinic, it was just terrible. I am very glad that I returned to my doctor again. The work is truly professional, there have never been any problems with the quality of work. Very friendly staff, all of them. We treated caries, worked on root canals on more than one tooth, no complaints I have never heard any bad reviews about the blade from anyone. Resto is the place to go if you want quality, attention to detail and safety. I recommend it for those who are afraid of dentists, they are completely different there. The only significant drawback is the sooooo high prices. But if you consider that the materials are of a high level and the quality of work is excellent, then the price-quality ratio is really fair, I really like it there. All my life I have had problems with fear of dentists, but the treatment there is very caring and there are no additional unpleasant sensations. I'm really glad I found a good clinic

I turned to this clinic after removing a complex tooth in budget dentistry, sat on painkillers for several days. Absolutely everything is good in this clinic and the attitude and prices (I counted on a large amount) and professionalism. Many thanks to Ilyina Maria Mikhailovna and nurse Christina (I apologize if I made a mistake with the name). And of course thanks to the friendly girls at the reception.

Excellent clinic! Indeed a team, a team of leading specialists in the field of dentistry! I have been a client of the clinic for more than 10 years, literally from the first visit I was impressed by the service. Everything is at a very high level. You feel like a person. Great staff and all the support staff. Sincere gratitude and low bow to Sergei Leonidovich Litvinov, Alexei Alekseevich Izotov, Elena Aleksandrovna Nedorezova, and of course, Aleksey Petrovich Reshetnikov for such a wonderful organization! We see the whole family in the clinic. Yes, for me this is also not a cheap pleasure, but it's worth it, if it weren't for ResTo, then by my 50 I would already be chewing with dentures, with such a speed of preparation of my teeth by other specialists. I come to the clinic from Glazov, and I really recommend this clinic. All the best and prosperity to ResTo!

Our family has been with Dental Fantasy for over 10 years. 11/10/23 a team of professionals led by doctors Meretikova A.A. and Topchiy V.S. I spent more than 3 hours saving the teeth of our one and a half year old youngest son while he was sleeping. Everything went surprisingly easily and calmly. We were once again convinced that our choice was correct. Excellent specialists who sincerely love their work, small and large patients, very kind and attentive people. Maximum tact, delicacy, unobtrusive care. Dental Fantasy is calm and cozy for both the baby and the parents.

Very professional, many competent doctors, convenient service for both children and adults. Excellent work of managers and all other staff, ensuring cleanliness and comfort. I return myself and with children many times and confidently recommend it to my friends and acquaintances. However! As in any other place where your body and health are concerned, choose a doctor who is comfortable for you personally, so that there is no unnecessary stress, but only trust

The child looks forward to each visit like a trip to his favorite cafe. In addition to the animators, play area and gifts that attract her, there are wonderful and attentive specialists who help keep children’s teeth completely healthy without unnecessary interventions. The main thing is to follow all the recommendations) I’m happy that now going to the dentist is a small holiday)

We are seeing the child at the Skydent clinic with Ekaterina Dmitrievna Burnistova✨ I really like everything: the attitude and approach to the child, the doctor’s fast and high-quality work in a playful way with fairy tales and jokes, they also give a gift as a bonus👍👍👍 The child walks with pleasure, without tears and hysterical)))

We came in with an emergency, the child’s gums were swollen, he had a high temperature, they just asked to at least take a look, give a consultation, they were refused, they said all the doctors were busy. I understand, but this is an emergency and it would be possible to spare 2 minutes to provide emergency assistance..

For a long time I was looking for a place where teeth are removed under general anesthesia, and I didn’t regret at all that I chose Skydent. You won’t find a better clinic🔥, the staff are all friendly, sincerely smiling, they will tell you everything clearly and intelligibly, they will show you🤗 Evgeniy Vladimirovich will put you to sleep before you even have time to blink your eyes😁 Nikita Evgenievich in the meantime, he will do his job professionally. Thank you ❤️ very much.

I recently completed my treatment with Dr Belinda at Sonrisa. I am not very fond of the dentist but her reassurance and total professionalism ensured my new smile was a painless as possible and I couldn’t be happier Thank you (I will never use another dentist) 😜

Thank you Sonrisa for the absolutely superior treatment and service you provided. While on vacation I had a hard fall and hit my mouth on stone stairs. I broke an existing crown and four other front teeth. I chose to contact Sonrisa because of their good reviews and also that I would be able to communicate comfortably in English. I am so glad I did. They gave me an emergency appointment almost immediately and were so kind, especially Raquel, as I was pretty shaken up. Their office is ultra modern, welcoming and immaculate. Dr. Belinda Pamos was compassionate, very professional and reassured me that she could repair all the damage. A week later, once my cut mouth had healed, I had temporary bridges and after another week I received permanent crowns on three top teeth and a permanent bridge on the bottom. Really, Sonrisa Clinic deserves more than five stars, I honestly believe I had a better experience here than I would have had at home in Canada. I am so pleased with the results, my teeth have never looked so good! Thanks again to you all.

To share my experience here about this amazing team at Sonrisa is my duty because they all deserve more than 5 stars! Dr. Belinda is knowledgeable, precise, calm and honest about your dental needs. My treatment went very well and I got a perfect fitted crown after 8 months waiting from loosing a tooth and getting an implant in California in the process of moving from one country to another. I also got my teeth cleaned with Bella, Dr. Belinda's hygienist, who is so gentle, comprehensive and compassionate! And Raquel, Dr. Belinda's assistant, being so prompt in responding to emails, to phone calls and any question you may have, she is the first to greeting with warm welcoming smile! I am very grateful to be finding this Clinic. I feel very safe with them and I appreciate enormously how they keep it extremely clean and tidy!

2 yrs ago i used this dentist who led me to believe route canal filling was solution , problem was they did the wrong tooth, infact it took 3 attempts to get it right, a cost of €1,256 which meant 3 route canal fillings , 2 of which on good teeth that was not required, 1 yr later had to have extraction of 1 of them due to being in agony pain , abcess as not all route was taken. Today another year later the other route canal is cracked so badly i cannot save the tooth and now need extraction which leaves huge gap as this is next too where last extracted tooth was taken. so had to opt for 2 implants at a cost of €3.544 , needless to say not using the the smile dentist,

Thanking Gry dentist so much for her Wonderful treatment and sending me to the Specialist so quickly.Enjoying my time with Son in Scotland see you for check up September.Kind Regards Morag Tindal Los Balcones.

Great place. I had a difficult case. Doctor Tor Oppedal is fantastic, a marvellous doctor and a sincere, friendly and reassuring person. Lovely atmosphere in the clinic with helpful and smiling staff. Highly recommend!

I can't praise this dental practice enough. I had cause to visit in an emergency recently while on holiday. The staff were so friendly and helpful and went out of their way to help me so that I could enjoy the rest of my holiday. Thank you so much.

I arrived at the place before the agreed date, so as not to waste the doctor's time and fill out the documents. After completing the formalities, I waited for the time of the appointment. Unfortunately, 20 minutes have passed since the date of the appointment and no one deigned to be interested, to inform why the visit is delayed. Next time, please respect your customer's time, it is an invaluable resource. I felt offended because it was a show of disrespect for me.

Am staying locally and had a dental emergency. I was offered an appointment that day. On arrival was made to feel welcome. Staff very friendly and professional. They fixed my tooth and dealt with my fear of dentists in a caring manner. Would definitely recommend this dental practice.

They requested that I leave a review, so I do so, albeit with some hesitation. I arrived in Florence with a cracked crown and they were very kind in seeing me, extremely quick and accommodating. The office was clean, and their staff was always kind, communicative, and reassuring, for which I am grateful. They were patient when I was indecisive (they convinced me that in paying more for a root canal, I would avoid future pain and sensitivity in the damaged area, and I did ultimately opt to do so, for a total of €1300). Fitting the crown was difficult, as I suspect is the norm, but at some point it seems they nicked on one of my neighboring teeth (or, hopefully, perhaps they left a dab of cement that remains there after over a month), and it required 3-4 different visits to adjust it. Anyway, the crown remained high enough where my other teeth wouldn't touch when I closed my mouth, which was so maddening. The dentist seemed like she didn't really believe me, and I left each time thinking, "OK, maybe I'm just being too sensitive and I'll get used to it." Finally, upon my last visit, the "main" dentist took over with great fanfare, and he was much more thorough, even polishing the surface of the crown, which made it much more comfortable in my mouth (which, by the way, I'm surprised the other dentist never did). Unfortunately, while the fit is better than before, it still does stick out every-so-slightly when I close my mouth, and now hurts when I eat. I'm hoping eventually I will get used to it and the soreness will go away, and I know that they would offer to try to help adjust it again, but after so many tries I just don't see the point anymore. Perhaps I should have articulated myself better when I was there -- I guess it speaks to the limitations of my Italian, or to me not wanting to complain too much -- but at this point after two months, my time in Italy is ending, and will have to visit my old dentist in the USA to see what's up. I wish I didn't have to do so, as it's going to end up costing much more in time and money in the long run, but that was the risk I took. Anyway, I hate to leave a negative review, but that's where I stand now.

During my trip from Australia, I faced a severe dental crisis. Fortunately, Dental Factor came to my rescue. I'm immensely thankful to the hotel that recommended them. The Dental Factor team was incredibly supportive, instantly putting me at ease with their jokes and laughter. They managed to make a daunting procedure feel remarkably simple and stress-free. The process was smooth, their facility was modern and clean, and the dentists were exceptionally skilled. I'm so pleased with the experience!

We had an emergency whilst we were travelling Italy. It was for both myself, pain & broken tooth, and my wife, pain, infection and possible crown. They booked us in as an emergency and were able to complete the work. Filling for me & tooth removal and implant for my wife. Crown will be inserted when we get back home. They speak English, which made things so much easier & explained the process. They were so professional, friendly, with minimal or no pain, and completed the work whilst we were in Florence. Would thoroughly recommend them. Thanks 😊

Excellent, well explained care by Dr. John Barton. Accepts international tourists at very fair prices. He is from the UK which made our communication very easy.

Perfect service not only in Italiano, also in English and spanish! Very good Experience and friendliest Workers i meet! Would come again instantly if we visit milano again and have a problem with our teeth

I have always had the best experience with the clinic and doctor Barton. They completely transformed my teeth and made them much healthier, stronger, and more beautiful. Would definitely recommend to anyone in Milan.

Very kind and understanding staff. As an English speaker I was worried about finding help abroad due to language barriers but ADAR was very helpful and they didn't suggest anything I didn't need. So grateful for their help ♡

the best American dentist in Rome! all of the doctors are very skilled and speak many different languages. they took care of me right away and did an amazing job. will definitely be returning!

My first day in Rome of a two week vacation I had a dental issue. I contacted American Dental and they were able to see me the same day. Dr. Loredana Carnovale Winter was wonderful. She was able to correct my issue and the price was reasonable. Thank you Doctor Winter!

They bothered me for how many months while my wisdom tooth was swollen and it hurt, they thought it was another tooth and I really struggled, since I told them it's not that tooth, they suddenly told me that I have to go to a jaw surgeon while they bothered me for 2 months with pain without telling me they say in simple words that they themselves cannot undertake me. A multi-dental practice without a maxillofacial surgeon seems strange to me, but even more strange that while they were monitoring the wisdom tooth for 2 months and telling me that I should have it removed, they suddenly wanted a maxillofacial surgeon. Plus they made me take a strong antibiotic 3 days before the surgery and I went there and they didn't even do it for me. Dentist for simple things.

I visited the Aristotle Polydentistry to check my oral condition with quite a bit of anxiety, I admit. After the inspection we launched the work that needed to be done. The clear prices, the existence of all specialties, the organization and excellent service reduced my anxiety quite a bit, but what drove it away completely was that I felt safe from the dental procedures. A few days ago I had an extraction of a damaged banker and it didn't hurt at all and I didn't see any blood. After three days they called me to ask how I was doing. I highly recommend it!

Soooooonnnn Initially the negative reviews are at least ridiculous! I was thinking about whether I will visit it and finally I did, luckily I didn't take what was written seriously! I don't think anyone should who is at least a sober person and doesn't believe that the nephelim will get into him with the x-ray!!!!!!!!!! I am in the process of getting my teeth fixed and I am amazed at their professionalism! Excellent doctors, kind people and at the reception, a very nice space with the latest technology, everything, they do the X-ray there, you don't run to diagnostics from here and there, perfect and easy parking! As a person who used to fear dentists I tell you in all honesty do not go anywhere else!!!! You will waste time and money! Visit it and you will remember me, I have no profit from people other than a proper job done on my teeth, I recommend it to everyone

My experience at the clinic has been amazing. Dr. Gallagher and his team are really diligent, caring and professional. I received a thorough diagnosis and treatment plan that was minimalist and practical. The treatments themselves have been comfortable and successful which I am super grateful for. I feel so lucky to have found a dentist I can trust in Barcelona having recently moved from Ireland. Thank you 🙏

Honestly a great experience – the team here is fantastic! After Dr. Alistair Gallagher determined I needed a root canal procedure on a Friday, he was able to work on my molar the following Monday. Dr. Gallagher is very knowledgeable, and put my mind at ease as he talked me through every step. This was one of the gentlest root canals I have ever had. Thank you so much, you wonderful people!

Very pleasant dental clinic! Fast and easy communication over whatsapp, and friendly receptionist. The dentist himself was very friendly as well, explained every step of what he was doing, and made it a very comfortable visit. Faire prices as well.

An amazing dentist. Made to feel super welcome and comfortable. Charming, very professional and a thorough examination resulted in quick painless treatment. Very cool office with Interesting memorabilia and awesome music playlist to soothe even the most nervous of patients. If you got a tooth problem and you’re anywhere in Crete, near or far from Heraklion, you have to pay this dentist a visit (location is easy to find)… You’ll walk away with better teeth and a smile on your face, he’s one of the most friendliest dentists around! Thanks so much for your help Doc! And the main poster on the wall in the office is ironically brilliant!

My friend couldn't sleep all night because of an inflamed molar, dr. George called him back as soon as he woke up and within an hour my friend got a practically painless root canal treatment. This has completely saved our holiday.

I contacted Dr. Vardakis at 4:00 AM on a Saturday for an emergency, while vacationing in Crete. He asked me how bad it was, and I said the pain was 9/10. He said: “see you in 30 minutes”. He was professional and caring and even funny. He also had a great playlist! I will never forget him for going out of his way to help me. (from Canada with love!)

When all other orthodontists in Amsterdam don't repair metal braces falling off teeth outside their clinic, Lassus gladly booked an appointment the same day evening. Perfect service

Bad customer care - lack of empathy and rudeness towards a new possible patient I couldn’t get an appointment for an emergency simply because it was a temporary crown from another dentist. I was told that anything initiated by another dentist is not something they want to interfere with. They would not even listen to the details - they just redirected me to another practice (Dental 365). I also wanted other new dental services from Lassus Keizersgracht but they wouldn’t even listen. If you absolutely want to be their patient, I assume the best way is to book an intake without providing too many details upfront. After you have registered this way, they might want to accept you as their patient.

Had to repost this review because for some reason, I cannot see it from their reviews anymore. Ok so, I saw this super fancy and credible looking clinic while I was walking towards home so I decided to register and move my dental services here. It was amidst the lockdown when I made an appointment and was really a challenge to make one. I booked 2 services - cleaning and filling. When I arrived, I was expecting to get the services I booked which is pretty normal however, my expectations turned into a nightmare. First, the dentist did only the upper part of my teeth. To be honest, I felt that she was trying to prolong the process so she could in the end tell me that she can only clean the upper part, but who does this kind of service? Number 1: We are in the period where booking an appointment is so difficult and Number 2: I have to go out with only the upper part of my teeth cleaned? Unbelievable. Second was the most traumatizing experience. Instead of getting fillings, the 2 dentists consumed my whole time just by taking pictures of my teeth, gums and even a portrait shot of me using atleast 3 different types of camera (By the way, I found out from a Dutch friend that this is a trick to get you charged big time but little did I know that you can always say no to this. Usually they will not ask and, you’ll think that this will just take 5mins but not, so be careful.) Had to book another appointment for the rest of the services (which of course will be in 2-3months). After the “photoshoot scam”, they were advising me to me to do certain services they offer which will then cost me almost 3000 euros. In the end, I walked away feeling so shocked about the whole experience with just my upper teeth cleaned. Wait, and there’s more… they are charging me an extra cost for the consulting time which I did not ask in the very beginning. How is this normal?"
