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

My boyfriend had been to this place and had nothing but wonderful things to say! So I made an appointment. This place is located next to a parking ramp and has some limited street parking as well. (Free). Walking in the receptionist was very warm and welcoming. I was very nervous since it has been so long. I never felt judged once. I was brought back for my cleaning and the woman who cleaned my teeth was wonderful! She talked me through everything and made me feel so comfortable! Despite not going to the dentist for almost two decades, I only had one cavity! They looked at all the options and worked to save the tooth. You can tell they care about their patients and not just wanting to make a quick buck! Because they have all been so amazing, I now have both of my children and my boyfriend there as well! If you are looking for a spectacular dentist, are nervous about dental work, or just want a high quality experience, THIS IS THE PLACE!

Since then I have had to go back in here and there for this and that. Everyone is always very nice. On Friday, I had a horrible tooth ache and feared they would not be able to squeeze me in on such short notice, but they did. The only thing that almost prevented me from trying this Dentist out was the fact that they do not offer nitrous-oxide. (laughing gas) But I quickly learned that if the Dentist is good at what he/she does, no nitrous is needed for comfort. I probably couldn't be more comfortable even with Nitrous.
