These people are wonderful, attentive professionals and the service is incredibly priced!
I will drive from out of state just to see these guys from now on - they are simply the best. Receptionists, doctors and dental assistants are ALL extremely friendly, informative and helpful. When I overslept for my appointment like a buffoon, and woke up in the hotel just as I was supposed to be arriving, I called them up & they managed to squeeze me in later that same day, even though their schedule was pretty booked by the looks of it (quite a few patients were there when I arrived), knowing that I didn't live in the area.
As an aside, I didn't have insurance, but I looked around for options and came across the Aetna Dental Discount card, which is a very reasonable rate and deceptively simple discount plan. One wonders who it can be so turn-key: you go look up the plan, fill out your info, pay under ~$200 and somehow, semimiraculously, all of your dental expenses, INCLUDING oral surgery, prescription medication and x-rays are all discounted by 50+%! This is a great plan for freelancers, and people who are self-employed, btw.
So I called these guys, knowing that their standard rates are good, to verify that this plan was all it claimed to be, and they reassured me that it was and that I could get major dental work haunting me for the past 5 insurance-less years in a single day, with no separate consultation appointment and accordingly no additional 'consultation fee' - the likes of which every place I contacted in San Francisco (quite a few) took for granted.
The surgery was fast and simple, in the end - definitely not warranting the numerous appointments that other dentists attempted to book me for, greedily wringing out every penny even after I explained my financial situation and explained that I could provide very detailed dental records. Dr. Logan and his assistant conferred with me briefly as to the level of anesthesia I wished to receive during the procedure, and then sent me off with a very informative packet of information, very reasonable prescription for pain pills, and succinct, practical advice on preventing complication.
As I was paying, the receptionist said, "Let me see, you may qualify for an additional discount--" on top of the one afforded me by the Aetna Dental Discount card. And indeed, she was right - there was some sort of out of town discount on top of that, and in the end, my entire procedure was under $250 (+the ~$100 for the yearlong Aetna plan)!! Places in San Francisco were quoting $500+ for the same exact procedure, even with the plan!
On the following morning, they called me up to check in - a very personable call which came across as friendly and genuine.
As long as I live in a 400 mile radius of these guys, Dr. Logan will be my go-to dentist! read more
