I had a great experience here! I went in for a cleaning as a new patient and the person working the…read morefront desk was very welcoming and helpful. Lily the dental technician was really sweet and gentle during the cleaning and explained everything thoroughly. Dr. Saha was also great.

I am posting this to share my experience & to hopefully…read moreprevent others from going through what I am presently dealing with now. I must preface the following by saying that I do not take relaying this type of info lightly. & it is not based on assumptions or rumors, interpretations or misunderstandings. The following is based on indisputable FACTS. Great Expressions Dental in Auburn. They've blatantly LIED on numerous occasions on various things. Claims. Billing. Procedures. I had been going to them since Sept. as a result of an emergency dental situation, & had gone to them several times thereafter. I never had an issue prior to this. I need(ed) extensive dental surgery. In January I had a consult with the oral surgeon, who stated I needed 2 bone grafts before other procedures could be done. My jawbone was "in good shape, just too narrow for implants." On that day (& on prior visits) I had been reassured by several people (dentist, billing clerks) that mostly everything would be covered. Remember that. Then on that same visit I was given an itemized printout of what I would owe, (out of pocket) - IF for some unforeseen reason my insurance denied my claim(s) for my pending surgery etc. Over 10 grand. I booked the appointment & checked with them periodically to see if they had heard from my insurance agency. "No, not yet." Then the DAY BEFORE MY SURGERY they called to tell me it was denied - & that I would need to pay the FULL AMOUNT the day of my surgery, regardless of the fact that I would only have a portion of the work needed to be done on that day - in order to proceed. THE DAY BEFORE. (Totally premeditated.) Shocked & in disbelief, I still kept the appt. I called my insurance agency right after that to let them know that I would file an appeal - & was told G.E. NEVER FILED A CLAIM FOR MY SURGERY or for other pending procedures. I immediately called my dentist's office - & literally had so much smoke blown up my ass - that I bet my lungs had actually turned black. The manager I had spoken with immediately took a defensive stance - & said my insurance carrier "recently changed their guidelines" & they knew that what needed to be done wouldn't be covered. So they never filed. Then a minute later she said "& when we submitted it, & it was denied..." I said hold up! You JUST SAID that you did not even file a claim, so how could it have been denied...if you never filed it????? SILENCE. I followed that up with - & when I've called to check if you've heard from my insurance, I was repeatedly told "not yet." I caught her in several more lies, which rendered her speechless again. THEN she said how they treat 50-60 patients a day, & that they just "don't have time" to file claims for everyone. I investigated further & called my insurance agent - & was told that they did not change anything to my policy, no guidelines were updated & if anything had in fact changed - I would've received a letter in the mail. Manager at G.E. tried to smooth things over with me by saying she would file the claims for me immediately. Too little too late. Cancelled surgery & let them know I'd be taking my business elsewhere. Totally disgusted. Thee most deceitful & unethical people I've ever dealt with in my entire life.

In 2018 I had Gastocnemius Recession surgery. I was told I would be weight bearing the DAY OF…read moresurgery. I did not get instructions for PT, and he told me recovery would not be long at all. When in fact the full recovery time is SEVEN months and weight bearing may not occur from 6-12 weeks after surgery. I had to quit my job because I couldn't drive there (having a boot on my right leg for a long period) and was in a massive amount of pain, and would get incredible cramps that I was not warned about. After surgery the nurse tried to have me stand up and I fell back on the bed in incredible pain and made me feel foolish for wanting crutches or a wheel chair. I am still appauled that I did not get the care I should have recieved, and the correct knowledge for rehabilitation after my calf was cut. I do not recommend him. Find another knowledgeable doctor.

Never in my life have I observed or been apart of such an incompetent doctor! I was evaluated by…read morethis doctor a month ago for a severe ankle sprain. My MRI results showed multiple full and partial ligament tears. Dr. Patel put me in a short leg cast for 4 weeks to completely immobilize me. This was my " initial encounter" as it states on my visit notes. Fast forward to today! I go in, they take my cast off, I explain I've been in slight pain for most of the time in the cast etc. Dr. Patel comes in the room and the first sentence out of his mouth is "I don't know what to do for you." I said I didn't understand? He said well we immobilized you and you're saying you're still in pain, it's just a sprain." I reminded him "I have multiple full thickness and partial ligaments that are torn!" He goes "well I don't know what to do for you, you'll have to get a second opinion with my colleague." He never physically examined me! He never put his hands on my foot he never attempted to manipulate it/ test it in anyway! There was no actual physical examination that was performed! He also completely disregarded my entire MRI report that stated all of these tears!! A radiologists entire job is to find these abnormalities! Dr. Patel disregarded the entire report and only mentioned one suspected partial tear! I can pin point myself just by attempting to move my ankle exactly where these tears are because of the sharp pain I get when attempting to move it in any direction! This doctor I guarantee had no idea which patient I was. On todays notes it said TODAY was our initial encounter! Even that's not accurate on his part! I was just another number! I was just a get her in and out! As a doctor it is your job to know and if you don't you should at least have some sort of plan in place!! Somewhere to go from here!!! "I don't know." ISNT AN ANSWER! "I don't have a plan." ISNT A THING! And you NEVER even physically examined me !!! That is not a doctor! You did not do your job! I came to UMASS thinking I would be receiving expert care!!! Boy was I wrong!!! Do yourself a favor go elsewhere!!! This doctor cares about dollar signs not his patients.
