When I called and wanted the explanation of a charge that was not estimated. I was sent to the billing department. Where the lady kept talking down to me, without listening to me. We had a seven minute conversation and she started to accuse me of yelling at her which I told her I was not doing. She then placed me on a 4 minute hold. When she came back she said that the doctor was not in she talked to his Son. Who said that when I come in for my next appointment I should discuss it with The doctor. (No resolution) If this is a portion the insurance did not pay. It should be labeled that way. Not as an additional line item labeled something else.

What they probably do is make you make payments before the work is started. Staff turns over quickly. Casey at the front desk is a snot! This Doctor is to worried about lining his pocket book rather than patient care. He is inpersonable. He doesnt address you during a visit. He only talks to the hygienist. He rushes the process to get to the next patient. Everytime ive seen him, he is running between rooms taking care of several patients at the same time. They make an appointment with you for a specific procedure, bills the insurance and the procedure was never even done. This is theft and insurance fraud. He wears a mask but you can smell his stinky breath through the mask. Dont think he has ever heard of a tic tac. I arrive on time and have to wait 30 to 45 minutes to see anyone after my appt time already started. Than they threaten to release you from care if you call the day of and tell them that your son was hit by a drunk driver, got a broken collar bone and I was in the er with him all night. Casey addresses this by saying, "Tom said that hes losing money when someone cancels in an energency" How heartless and selfish can one man be???? Well, he is. My child comes before your pocket book sir andyour office is the one that calls me to cancel because you are over booked. Also they rather me come in with COVID than miss a appointment and put everyone's saftey aside just to line his pocket book. Dont go to Maui for 2 weeks if you cant afford that style. I will be contacting my insurance and filing a complaint against him for fraudulently charging the insurance for services he never did. When you come in sedated from the medication he prescribed before a procedure, he has his staff come to you with a tablet to sign off on costs, than before you leave they ask for the full payment (they say its in what u sign) Clearly illegal and predatory practices. Someone under the influence of a sedative that you prescribe sir is in no condition to be signing medical forms or agreeing to a cost. This man should get his license taken away. I had perfect teeth before seeing him. His filings dont last 2 years. Ppl follow your insurance. Most procedures for filing are covered for 24 months. What they do is when a person changes a job or their current job changes dental insuran e companies, they try to bill them. Trish was notorious for trying to do this, but finally I caught on. Once I brought it to Brooks attention who does the billing, the office ladies have all been snots and Tom could care less what his staff does as long as the golden lining is around that pocket book! If you want your crowns to last at least 10 years and filings for more than a year, stay clear from this dental office!!!! They are crooks. There are plenty of dental providers out there that'll accept your insurance. Just because they have a piano in the waiting room doesnt mean anything. Been the same old furniture and decor for over a decade!!!!! $10's of thousands of dollars later because of his poor work I ended up losing 4 teeth. He puts crowns on teeth that cant support the crown therefore it gets decay and falls off. Just a lawsuit waiting to happen. Sir, its time to go back to dental school or retire!!!!! If i could put a negative star I would. You dont even deserve a 1 star!!!​​

I went to Meridain Endodontics Periodontics and Implant in August and September of 2025. I was the…read moreendodontist on the first visit and he suggested either a root canal or an implant. He felt the root canal would have a 50/50 chance of success and the implant would be the best option . Unknowingly to me, i had to set up another appointment to see the periodontist in the same office. They couldn't be seen on the same day, The periodontist had a different opinion. The root canal would have a 10% success rate and the implant was the only way to go. Neither the endodontist or periodontist gave any insight as to what was involved with either procedure. That information was left up to the treatment coordinator who I would see on my third visit. After I left my third visit, I had further questions as many were left unanswered. i called and left several messages and also sent an email, asking if someone could call me, Finally after 5 days, I called again and sternly asked to talk to someone to answer my questions, which, finally then got answered. After 6 days the treatment coordinator finally returned my call. The communication with each other and the patient are poor at best. No records on the conversations I had with them were kept in my medical records. I requested my records and images they took of my tooth be sent to me. They person i talked to couldn't locate them and asked for some time to search for them. I never recieved a call back . After 2 days I called back and talked to someone else who found them right away but I was told they needed a release form filled out so i could get my records, which i was never told about. Once filled out they emailed me my records and part of my images. I had to make a fourth trip to their office to get my images on a CD. I was also told, they wouldn't send my new periodontist my records so i had to forward them.. Lastly, I am retired, on a limited incomeand my insurance doesn't cover this type of work on my teeth. They charged my $402.00 for the intial consultation, which was out of pocket. The offered no discounts and wouldn't refund a portion of their fee. I am sure this covered the office visit and x-rays, but in comparison to other who do this smae kind of work, their costs are excessive. If you would see their office, you know why they charge wat they do. I went to another periopontist and they charged me nothing for my original consultation. In this consultation, they talked to me about both options and, in the end, were alot less expensive for the same work.

I said I was surprised but I went ahead and paid it . Then I got a notice to come back in for my crown and it will cost another $600 . I did not sign up for 851 worth of work . Had they told me how much it would be total I would have had them pull that tooth like the others . They keep sending me a bill for $600 and I'm sure it will go to collections soon .

Let me preface this review with the fact that I had been in severe tooth pain for about 2 weeks straight, living off of Ibuprofen and tylenol. On my journey to figure out what was going on with my tooth, I went to 3 different dentists who couldn't figure out the issue. It wasn't until Dr. Dan Smith walked in the room that I felt a rush of reassurance, trust, and kindness. Dr. Dan has an incredibly caring bedside manner mixed in with the utmost professional demeanor in his responses to your questions. He took his time with my care, listened to my complaints until I was done giving him all the information that was important to me, and he reassured me with confidence in his answers. I cannot recommend this establishment and Dr. Dan enough. For the first time I felt cared about and that I was in good hands. It took Dr. Dan no more than a couple minutes to come up with the cause to all my tooth pain / issues. Their pricing is beyond fair compared to the surrounding dental offices. The entire staff up front was helpful and thorough. It was the most pleasant experience I've had going to a dental office in my 32 years of life. Thank you Dr. Dan and Bark River Dental! You just made a life long patient.
