I've never been cancelled by a dental office 3 times in a month for lack of a dental hygienist?…read moreAlso, the person greeting customers and answering phones knows nothing or completely disregards HIPPA as she loudly informed the waiting room full of people listening that I have gingivitis! How embarrassing! Yes, I complained but nothing was done. The dentist who worked on my teeth did a great job though the price was $$$ and completely out of pocket. The dental hygienist who travelled between offices was also very kind and did a fantastic job with the first part of the cleaning. There are some good competent people working at the office but the receptionist needs to learn some manners and more importantly needs to understand about the consequences of violating HIPPA. Also, 3 cancellations in a month is unacceptable.

First of all, the staff is really slow and not very helpful to their customers. The young woman who…read moresits at the front desk is not very knowledgeable about anything. She has to ask the staff that sits in the back for answers. The dental hygienist was nice, but I don't think he was all that experienced at his job. This dental office cares about making money over their patients care. The dental work they wanted me to have done was already done two years ago. A cleaning, yes, I get that one, but another crown and root canal. I don't think so. Stay away from these crooked people because they will take all your insurance and out of pocket money period.

I had the unfortunate pleasure of having an horrendous customer service experience with Chen &…read moreAssociates and particularly with Chennel Walters their Insurance Coordinator. I had an appointment scheduled for February 6th at 2025 at 8:20 in the morning. I woke up at 7:20am to find a text from Chen and Associates informing me that my appointment would need to be cancelled due to inclement weather causing icing. There was no serious storm just light rain in the forecast and it had been warm and mild the whole week. However, I did not think much of it and happily rescheduled for the following Monday. Unfortunately I developed an ear infection on Sunday and needed to make a urgent care visit for Monday morning. I informed Chen and Associates on Sunday at 4:00pm that I would need to cancel, significantly more notice then they gave me for my prior appointment, which they confirmed. On Thursday morning of that week I received a $50 dollar charge for a missed appointment. I was not pleased about this charge and demanded it be removed and inquired why there was no policy for a $50 credit for patients if Chen and Associates needs to cancel as that would only seem fair. They removed the charge and apologized which I would have been happy to leave it at. However Chennel Walters decided it was their mission to justify charging clients for missed appointments and not having a credit if Chen and Associates cancels. They eloquently, explained that the office had to control for "thoughtless" , they never asked me why I was canceling, cancellations from patients and that Chen and Associates would only cancel for a real reason like inclement weather which she likened to a medical emergency. She also explained that they would never try to overcharge "loyal" clients. I pointed out that the weather that day was not particularly inclement and their reason for cancelling may have also been thoughtless saying: "The inclement weather? It didn't even get below freezing temps at any point below Thursday morning and it was above freezing several hours before my appointment. In fact I'm fairly certain it was raining which Additionally it had been gorgeous all week leading up to the day. But I didn't see the need to assume the worst, I suggest the doctor do the same for people who need to "thoughtlessly" cancel appointments." Obviously left a sentence incomplete, I was at work while trying to respond to Chennel Walters lovely correspondence and made a mistake. However, I think anyone reading this could see that I was pointing out that the weather conditions made improbable justifying a cancellation on their end unlikely. Chennel snarkily informed me she couldn't respond to my statement because it was incomplete before then responding to the statement she said she couldn't respond to by saying that I didn't know the weather where all their staff lived. It was above freezing through the entire state on February 6th and had been in the high to mid 40s the entire week leading up to the appointment. Needless to say I will no longer be a patient at Chen and Associates despite being a "loyal" patient prior. I would highly recommend they use this as a learning moment for Chennel and reconsider if they are the kind of person who should be interacting with clients.

I had a couple of teeth on both sides that had root canals and had been crowned almost 20-years…read moreago, that were failing and all four needed to be pulled. The choice was a bridge on both sides, which I wasn't crazy about on my rear molars, or to venture into world of implants. My dentist didn't offer them and recommended me to a specialist, Dr Mandel. Upon my first visit, Dr Mandel took x-rays, did an examination, and offered a game plan to attack it one side at a time. The one-side needed bone grafts, and he suggested tackling that first, and then onto the other side. However, this doubled the time frame before new crowns could be installed to six-months on that side. We discussed the process, and he thoroughly walked me through the entire procedure, answering my questions, and offering a consultative approach to making sure I was comfortable and had realistic expectations. While I was very nervous about what was involved and how long it would take, the decision was made to have it done right and to move forward with the procedure. Well, almost one year later and now having the new crowns installed, and I can say without a doubt it was a great decision. They look great, feel great, and certainly beat a bridge or dentures. While it was indeed a process, Dr Mandel was a total pro throughout the entire ordeal. He was extremely meticulous in every aspect of the journey, from the first examination, to being unbelievably good at everything around implants. In fact, it went so well, I decided to finally have a cosmetic dental makeover on my entire upper teeth. I ask Dr Mandel for a recommendation, and he sent me to another very professional and talented dentist. When all the 20-year crowns were removed on my top teeth, it became necessary to have two more teeth extracted, and once again it was determined by my dentist that two of my top teeth were gone and it was either a bridge or a couple more implants, so back to Dr Mandel. The difference is this time I had total confidence in Dr Mandel, and as before it went incredibly smooth. In a matter of a couple of hours, he performed two very difficult extractions, and like a mad scientist, placed the two implants. In the meantime, I have a temp on my entire upper teeth and will wait out the next 3-4 months before having the crowns installed so it's all done at the same time and I can get the best match. For anyone who may be scared or nervous about considering having implants vs dentures, bridges, or simply missing a tooth, it's not nearly as scary as it sounds. The key is to see a real pro like Dr Mandel. This dentist is incredible, and his mannerisms and skill make it clear he is truly a maestro at what he does. He instilled confidence every step of the way, performed extremely difficult procedures, and the outcome has become wonderful. In addition to these very important aspects, he was also one heck of a nice guy that literally couldn't have made it more pleasant through it all. I'm very appreciative that I found him to go through this process, and that it actually gave me the motivation and desire to tackle a full dental makeover. I can honestly say I don't think I would have jumped all in without Dr Mandel's encouragement, guidance, and reassurances along the way. If you find you need to have implants, be sure to check out the maestro, Dr Mandel.

I'm stunned by the 1-star review that reflects nothing of what I experienced. The doctor and his…read morestaff are highly professional. Dr. Joseph worked an implant I'd been told had too little bone (he showed me exactly how much bone) and he saved me money referencing me back to my general dentist on another procedure rather than take the money and run. I am returning years later for a second opinion on a possible tooth replacement. While Dr. Joseph is clearly confident--with the skill to back it--he is also friendly, straightforward, and considerate of a patient's concerns. He is not cheap (or extravagant), but if I want a tough job done right, he's the guy.

This whole unfortunate encounter was caused by my spontaneous reaction when he jabbed me in the gum. I'm no whimp, but after him jabbed me in the gum I reacted by pulling my head away and saying; "Ouch, what the f@ck?" He asked me to leave and when I questioned the reason for his strange behavior he kept saying; "leave the practice" "I'm calling the police". I've dealt with his alpha-personality type before, while acting nice if you do not allow them to dominate you then they become threatened and want to excert their assumed authority even more. I started taking a video towards the end of this bizarre encounter and you can see that he even tries to involve one of his patients sitting in the waiting room.

Review for Nuvia Dental Implants**Located in Whitemarsh Maryland…read more In my recent experience with Nuvia Dental Implants, I ran into several issues that really impacted my impression of their service. Initially, there was a significant communication gap that led to my procedure date being canceled, and the financing company tried to charge me before any work was actually done. After I got my physical done, I reached out to Jack, the coordinator, to see if he could reschedule me. Unfortunately, he never responded at all, which I found to be very unprofessional. It felt like he just disappeared once there was a complication. To add to that, Jack had originally hyped up that he'd secure me a discount. But when I did my own research, it turned out that his "discount" wasn't much of a deal at all. Other providers were offering the same procedure for about $38,000, while he claimed their price was $50,000 and that he was giving me a "discount" at $39,000. Overall, while Nuvia may have solid technology, the lack of professionalism and transparency, especially from Jack, was a real downside in my experience.
