I THOUGHT LONG AND HARD ABOUT THIS POST GAVE IT A FEW DAYS BEFORE POSTING.
Dont waste your time or money going here!
I called about two months in advanced! SO that's a two month wait for an appointment, I planned to pay for braces out of pocket already told them this. I walked in 5 mins early for intake, took 3 mins to fill out. I returned the clipboard waited about 30 mins but while waiting I looked up from my phone and the receptionist was locked in on me, when we made eye contact she rolled her eyes. uhhh...okay. WEIRD
When the hygentist (im guessing) came to the door and called my name, she did not speak loudly or clearly - almost in a mumbling tone (the lobby was packed btw) so looking to see that I was most likely next - I asked who? she said your daughter? which sounded like your dog ... no lie. I asked what did you say? and thats when I found out she said your daughter.
NOW!. When I got back to the room I waited about 15 MORE mins. no problem. But while waiting the sign on the front door says something to the effect of due to osha only the patient must be in the procedure rooms. MAN I WILL TELL YOU. Some teenagers next to me knew other people in other rooms and they were having full on unprofessional conversations... WHAT?
This is what did it for me.
Before the doctor came into my room... He was told by someone that he has a new patient in room 5 & I swear to God he said "Ugh... and they couldn't go to Frederick?" 1) I am in hagerstown I live in hagerstown two months ago I made the appointment FOR HAGERSTOWN lol. SO WHAT?!
2) HOW UNPROFESSIONAL.
3) He literally walks in 10 seconds later, How could I NOT hear that?
Some lady dressed casually walks in behind him, no introduction.. bossing him around about how much cost will be and what procedures I would have to have done. etc - This is just consultation. As I am paying out of pocket. So the Dentist puts gloves on, I open and bite down so he can guesstimate what procedures would look like. He takes his gloves off. No lie, the lady and he are arguing about how much cost will be. I thought about $3000 They both say $6500, He changed on paper and verbally with excuses, to about $4800... WHAT?
Telling me he doesnt use wire retainer. I thought I had options. Was the weirdest experience ever! But thennnnnnn Upon their argument he tries to show this "Casually Dressed Lady" the inside of my mouth WITH HIS PEN! Trying to touch my face without gloves and after biting his pen. Was so UNPROFESSIONAL, DISGUSTING. Every interaction that I had with the staff there SERIOUSLY NEEDS A BUSINESS ETHICS COURSE! I CANNOT BLAME THEM AS THE DEMEANOR OF THE ACTUAL DENTIST IS ILL-MANNERED SO How can I expect any more from anyone else? Seriously. PLEASE DO NOT GO HERE. ABSOLUTELY GHETTO AND ONLY IMAGINABLE HOW UNSANITARY!! read more
