    I recently had an examination done here by Dr Ana, the procedure was done with great care. I also…read morescheduled my appointment with William, who was very warm, friendly, and helpful. I will be making this my usual place for my check ups for sure!

    I normally don't leave negative reviews, but my experience with Aspen Dental deserves to be shared…read moreso others can avoid what I went through. After my primary dentist's office closed, I called Aspen Dental on a Friday morning because I was in severe pain from an infected wisdom tooth (swollen face, jaw pain, and unable to eat). The person on the phone assured me they could see me first thing Monday and that if it was wisdom tooth related, someone on-site could remove it or have their oral surgeon handle it that week. When I arrived 20 minutes early as instructed, they had no record of my appointment and claimed they canceled it because I "never provided insurance info." That was completely false as I had already done so over the phone, and I even showed them the call logs proving it. Instead of apologizing or fixing their mistake, the front desk staff told me there was "nothing they could do" and acted like it was my fault. After some back and forth, they finally agreed to see me that day. They took X-rays, and the dentist told me I needed all four wisdom teeth removed under full anesthesia, plus "gum treatments" and other procedures that would bring the total to over $4,700. Nearly $1,000 of that quote was just for deep sedation, supposedly keeping me under for more than 45 minutes. For comparison, when I went to another local dentist afterward, the entire procedure to remove two of my wisdom teeth took under 15 minutes total, start to finish, with no need for that level of sedation. It was clear Aspen Dental was pushing unnecessary procedures and trying to upsell me on things that weren't urgent or even needed. I decided to leave and get a second opinion, and I'm so glad I did. The new dentist saw me the same day, confirmed that only two teeth needed to come out, and that none were impacted. To make matters worse, the Aspen dentist's son is the oral surgeon who would have performed the procedure, which makes the hard sell feel even more unethical. I never needed an oral surgeon! Since then, I've spoken with several locals who shared similar experiences of being over-quoted, misled, and pressured into unnecessary dental work. Many also said that Aspen Dental doesn't take insurance for certain procedures and instead pressures patients to apply for high-interest loans or CareCredit on the spot to cover the inflated quotes. It's a clear pattern of taking advantage of people, especially those in pain or under stress. If you're in pain or just need honest dental care, go literally anywhere else. Aspen Dental is predatory, overpriced, and dishonest, and they do not prioritize patient care or integrity in the slightest.

I started this process in April and am now finished in November, although long and expensive I would never do it any differently than I did, Aimee is a doll and extremely helpful. Thank you all for putting up with me, Maribeth Cook

    I read through all of the reviews and was very surprised at the many which were listed as 'not…read morerecommended' as they were excellent! So let me share my personal experience with you. I was referred to Dr. MaiAn Vu by a friend who, like me, is a chicken when it comes to going to the dentist. She said, "you will love her", and my friend was right. Although I live in the Saratoga Springs area, I had an emergency and needed to go to the Chauvin Family Dentistry's Clifton Park office because they were open that day. That's where I met an "Angel", Ellen, who is (or was the last time I was there) the receptionist in their Clifton Park office. This was during a very bad time in my life when I was going through some serious financial struggles (my husband - now ex - disappeared one day and left me with a stack of overdue, unpaid bills and no money). Ellen was compassionate and understanding. She worked it out so that I could pay the bill off a bit each month without shame. The overall care that I received was outstanding. I wish that I could have continued to go to the Clifton Park office but their practice was not on my medical plan's approved list. Unfortunately, paying out of pocket for routine cleaning and x-rays was not an option. Even though I had been going to a dentist closer to home (and on my program) for periodic check-ups and cleanings, when I needed a crown I went to Dr. Vu and to Ellen's office. I paid out of pocket because crowns were not covered in my dental plan (they just want to pull your teeth!). Because they are THAT GOOD! I can't say enough wonderful things about Dr. Vu and Ellen. Unfortunately, once again, their practice is not on my fiance's dental plan's approved list, which is really a bummer.

    Dr.Messenger (and Messenger Digital Dentistry as a whole) is one of the most inviting places I've…read moreever been to. Im usually the person to dread both dentist and doctor visits... but I can genuinely say I enjoy the people and atmosphere here. Professionalism and punctuality are displayed throughout. After many visits, they have always been on time (which I'm sure isn't easy to do being the nature of the work) and gotten me in and out efficiently. The staff is warm and welcoming from the moment I've walked in, to the time I walk out the door. It's clean and well maintained inside and the atmosphere makes you feel at home. You can tell without a doubt that their technology is consistently up to date and they are all very knowledgeable, which makes me feel certain I'm at the right place. This establishment and everyone inside is deserving of an outstanding review. Thanks Dr.Messenger! I appreciate the great customer service, professionalism, straight forward help and hospitality I've been given time and time again! I'll be back! (But hopefully not too soon haha)

The receptionist here was WONDERFUL and after hearing my plea squeezed me in to see Dr. Gene Messenger the same day. Gene's dental assistant was professional and friendly. And Dr. Messenger is AWESOME. This guy knows his stuff. Smart. And funny to boot. Warm and friendly. He got my porcelain veneer back on, and made a minor adjustment which only improved my bite. Everything about this practice is professional.
