Well 15 min. later i approached the front desk again, then the receptionist tells me that I would not be seen till 11 am. Well how long was she going to let me sit there before telling me that. Now i have to come in next week to do the paperwork, after I have arranged my schedule for this meeting. You know us mothers have nothing to do with our time but sit around and do paper work. Plus I have to pay 100 to do this paperwork. If a patient cancels without proper notice we have to pay the doctors office office a fee, but if they show complete disregard for our time and schedule nothing happens. If I had know that they were this incompetent, I would have gone to a different dentist.

When I checked in for my consult appointment I was given literature (which I liked) which outlined all things wisdom teeth related. Dr. Bellamy checked my teeth and went over all the risks of leaving wisdom teeth in and taking the out, the risks of surgery. I found him to be very reassuring. When I checked in for surgery I was nervous about being sedated, however the anthesiologist was also very reassuring; I was comfortable enough to joke with the doctors and nurses in the surgical room up until I was knocked out. My recovery has been great, I was given very good instructions and surgery was great! I also received a call the same to day to check how I was doing. If you are going to dental surgery for wisdom teeth I strong recommend Dr. Bellamy!

However, I recently had a reason for needing some oral surgery, and my dentist referred me do Dr. Brar's office. And I am glad about that. First of all, Dr. Brar must be good at hiring people, or have somebody helping him do that. Everybody I've been in contact with are great to work with, and makes me feel relaxed. Or as relaxed as you van feel at a dental surgeon. On top of that, Dr. Brar himself is a great dentist. He is friendly, knowledgeable, efficien, and have a great "bedside manner". My toot extraction took about 15 minutes, and apart from the sounds you hear when a tooth is pulled out of your upper jaw, there was no pain, no discomfort. Nothing. If I ever need oral surgery again, this is where I'll go, and I would recommend Dr. Brar to anybody needing it.

My dentist sent a complete x-ray on a thumb drive & I was told they could not read it & I had to have another. For which I was charged $124.00. What computer these days can't open a file. Lindsey who is in charge of finances was anything but clear. Since I do not have dental insurance I asked to negotiate the cost. Since I know that insurance companies pay just pennies on the dollar. I was able to negotiate a 10% discount, and it is their policy to give a 5% discount for cash. Agt the end of our negotiation I understood that I was to get a 10% discount and according to their policy I would get an additional 5% for paying cash. I paid cash. First, they could not give me change, so I had to wait until the follow-up visit and when I asked about the cash discount I was told that it was part of the 10%. The quote I received showed a 10% discount, and that was not broken down stating that it really was only a 5% discount. I feel that this way of dealing with patients who attempt to negotiate a better deal borders on Fraud.
