To give this Dentistry by Design a 1-star rating is very generous on my part. This is a horrible…read morevendor on so many levels. I obtained a treatment plan and the cost of this plan from my dentist in Florida. Since there was extensive work required the amount of this plan was very high. Before, I committed to starting this treatment, I was going to obtain two more estimates and obtain additional treatment plans. Dr. Rizvi is a dentist in my insurance network. Although I had been to this facility in the past, I was not overly impressed with it. However, in reviewing Dr. Rizvi credentials on the website, I was impressed with him. I was led to believe from his website that he could do the extractions and do the implants. I emailed Dr. Rizvi from Florida and told him I wanted another opinion and could he give me an opinion and a treatment plan. Dr. Rizvi agreed to meet with me and said this visit would be of no charge. Not only did he charge me for this visit he did not give me a treatment plan and an opinion. His solution was to make referrals to an oral surgeon for extractions and a periodontist for implants. I declined his referrals as my current periodontist would do the extractions and implants. I went in for a cleaning at Dentistry by Design. The hygienist was planning to do x-rays which I declined, and I explained to her that my periodontist had done x-rays and in the past week and that I had paid $596 for this work. I had given Dr. Rizvi a flash drive of these x-rays. She appeared to be miffed at my refusal for x-rays and asked the dentist if she should proceed with the cleaning without x-rays. She did proceed with an abbreviated cleaning as it only took 15 minutes, and cleaning usually takes about 45 minutes to an hour. I emailed Dr. Rizvi and requested that he not invoice my insurance. I explained to him that since the hygienist had done such a shotty job, I was going to have to have them recleaned. Dr. Rizvi did not call me to further discuss this matter, but he did bill my insurance company. Not only did they invoice the insurance company, but the explanation of benefits showed that they showed a tax on the service. I called the business agent and told her I did not think taxing me for this service was legal. She assured me that it was legal. I contacted my insurance company, and I was informed that I should not be taxed. I again called the business agent at Dentistry by Design, and I was told it was a provider free even though on the explanation of benefits it clearly states it is a tax. I again called the insurance company and was told that a provider fee was not legal if it was an in-network provider. The insurance company said they were going to file a complaint against Dentistry by Design. Another concern is with the appliance that was made when my front teeth were extracted. This appliance is poor fitting, and it is causing multiple sores in my mouth. In a recent visit to another dentist, she filed the appliance and so it fits better. A lesser concern is their poor communication with me. They were to call when my appliance was ready, which they never did. I had to call them and when I asked if the appliance was in, they said they needed to check and was told they would call me back, which they never did. I had to call them, and they told me it was ready, but I needed to wait to see if I could pick it up. Once again, I had to make another call about the pick up of the appliance. Another concern was bad information about pricing. I also inquired about the cost of crowns for my implants, and I was told $7,000 per implant. This seemed to be an extraordinary cost as most crowns range from $2,300 to $3000. I again questioned the fee and a different person said she thought the original quote was for a total implant even though when I questioned the first person about the crowns, I made it clear I was only talking about the crowns she gave me this very high quote. It should also be noted that my experience with Dr. Rizvi reveals that he does not do implants. It should also be noted the internet shows Dr. Rizvi as an oral surgeon, and yet he was going to refer me to an oral surgeon for my extracts. Mary Ann

I can say that it is not easy to do, especially when I had trusting relationship with my dentist of many years. At that time my son recommended Dr. Dickey, saying "mom, I think Dr. Dickey will be right for you because he is awesome and I trust him with all my dental work". It was enough for me, and since then I also formed trusting relationship with Dr. Dickey and his dental team. He is very professional, with a great work ethics and personal communication skills. His explanations of the procedures are simple and clear, and all the dental work is done quality and good. Last year my daughter and son in law become Dr. Dickey's patient's through my recommendation and also are very pleased with his practice. I would love to recommend Dr. Dickey to anyone who will ask me.

After searching for nearly three years for the right dentist, I finally found Dr. Tom Dresen. If…read moreyou're looking for a restorative dentist who combines outstanding technical skill with honesty, patience, and integrity, I recommend him without hesitation. Most other dentists I consulted with recommended 2 years of orthodontics before they could begin restoring my teeth. Dr. Dresen offered a thoughtful, conservative approach that restored my smile without braces, and he completed everything in just six months, exactly as he had estimated. From my very first consultation, I felt completely at ease. He listened carefully to my concerns, performed an incredibly thorough exam, and took the time to explain everything clearly. What impressed me most was his honesty. He personally reviewed my treatment plan and estimated cost with me, and throughout the process, he removed procedures that weren't truly necessary. There was never any pressure to spend more than I needed. Oh, and by the way, the final cost was well under the original estimate. The biggest surprise came on my very first treatment day. I expected to wait months before I could smile again, but I walked out that very day with beautiful temporary teeth and a smile I was proud to show. Over the following months, he carefully refined every detail until the final result looked and felt exactly right. Another thing to know is that the office doesn't bombard patients with constant reminder texts and emails. They schedule your appointments and give you one courtesy phone call the week before. Their communication style is more low-key than what I was used to, and because I like to understand every step of the process, it encouraged me to reach out with questions about different aspects of my treatment. I came to understand that this was simply the practice's style. They were always willing to answer my questions when I called, and none of that outweighed the exceptional care I received or the wonderful results. In fact, it came to reflect the respectful, easygoing nature of the entire practice. The quality of Dr. Dresen's work is exceptional. Every tooth looks natural, feels comfortable, and fits perfectly. Tara, Jenny, and the entire team are welcoming, professional, and genuine. At every visit I felt safe and knew I was in capable hands. In my 65 years, I never imagined I would say that I truly enjoyed going to the dentist. Dr. Dresen and his team didn't just restore my teeth--they gave me the confidence to smile again and greatly improved my quality of life. Friends, family, and even strangers have commented on how natural my teeth look and how beautiful my smile is. I will always be grateful to Dr. Dresen, Jenny, Tara, and the whole team for what they did for me.
