At Dr. Becker's office I am relaxed and comfortable. Dr. Becker is so friendly, gentle and assuring. His assistant Margaret is a pleasure and is extremely attentive. The office itself is clean and organized and they also maintain a very well stocked snack area in the waiting area as well as water/coffee. I don't mind coming to the dentist at all anymore. Thanks guys!

I recently moved to the area and received a flyer in the mail advertising this dentist. I called…read moreand asked if they took my insurance and the response was that they took all insurances. That should have been my clue to move on, but then we wouldn't have this review. I asked to schedule a cleaning and X-rays. They were able to fit me in two and a half weeks later. I received a two pocket folder in the mail with paperwork to fill out. Basically background, insurance, and questionnaires on headaches. Day of the "suppose cleaning", I arrived at the office which was empty except for me, the secretary, the dentist, and a technician. I received a tour of the building and was shown the room where the cleanings took place; however, the dentist hygienist was off on Fridays. At this point I should have left, but I guess I was in shock. I replied that I had scheduled a cleaning and the response was, " Oh the doctor will go over that with you". I was then taken back and had X-rays completed. The doctor came in and for the next hour I went though a series of what I like to call, "the chamber of horrors". At one point they needed an extra set of hands so I assisted in stretching my mouth out for a procedure that I was told the insurance would pay for. At the end of a two hour whatever that was, I was handed their policy. Their policy basically stated that you were responsible for the total bill. Then it was your responsibly to file the claim with your insurance to get reimbursed. Why was this not stated before the services were rendered? I would have not scheduled or left before they could complete any services. Now I am responsible for the $99.00 dollars, which is apparently a great deal. What's a greater deal is billing the insurance correctly where I don't have to pay out of pocket. This is why I have TWO insurance premiums taken out of my check every two weeks. They did say that as a courtesy that they would bill my insurance; however, that was a mess and I will leave it at that. I am not sure where these other great reviews came from, perhaps people needing crowns. I just needed a cleaning and a new primary dentist, this practice is not the one.

Upon conducting extensive research to find a highly-rated dentist for the purpose of receiving…read morecomprehensive dental work, I discovered Dr. Sirius at Maryland Family Dentistry in Columbia. My initial interactions with Dr. Sirius were positive, and I developed a professional relationship with him due to his reputation as a prominent and respected dentist in the field, as well as my status as a police officer. However, I was disappointed to discover that Dr. Sirius informed me that the amount of work I required might exceed my dental coverage, which could result in additional expenses. Despite expressing my concern about surpassing my dental coverage, his team continued to schedule appointments for me to receive treatment, even though it was clear that I had surpassed my limit. This ultimately resulted in my incurring a debt of over $700, which left me feeling disheartened. I believe that Dr. Sirius and his team had the responsibility to inform me clearly and transparently that my upcoming procedure would not be covered by my insurance. As a result, I was left feeling as if I did not matter to the practice, and I now have a new dentist who prioritizes open communication and always informs me if a procedure will be covered by my insurance before treatment. It is essential for dental practices to prioritize the well-being and satisfaction of their patients above all else, and I would strongly discourage anyone from seeking treatment with a dental provider who prioritizes insurance coverage over the needs of their patients. I urge patients to verify their coverage with their insurance provider and to be vigilant in advocating for themselves to ensure that they receive the care they need without incurring undue financial burden.

Canceling appointments, calling patients w/o leaving messages, outdated form entry system- as a long time patient trying to bring my daughter to this practice, the process has turned me off completely & now we both need a new dentist. W/o going into personal details- non-clinical staff should be proactive and have a bed side manner too. Asking someone to treat/fix a paperwork situation that eliminates back and forth, miscommunication, or counterproductive communication, is harder than I thought it would be. I had a clinical issue as well w/ bells palsy reaction from the numbing needle when getting a filling before- so I opted to never get that again. Especially after calls, and emails to the office and no one ever called me back. I changed to cleanings only but the dental assistants arent all the same. Overall my experience over the years rounds out at a solid 3... but clerically theyre at a solid 1.8

I will speak my truth over and over again. After all was said and done I had a horrible dental abscess that caused the most excruciating pain that I have ever experienced in my life, and I blame this dental practice. Dr. Murphy spoke with me over the phone while I was in debilitating pain and had the nerve to suggest that he would "fit me in tomorrow for a trigger point injection". I blame this practice for being a poor representation of the dental community and whole-heartedly blame them for making me unnecessarily suffer because they have lost their way in patient care.

The swelling returned, then went away, then returned, then went away, and so on. At that point I suspected I was allergic to something I was eating, so I limited my diet to things I knew I wasn't allergic to, then added things back one at a time. When I started eating ketchup again, the swelling returned. It turns out I am allergic to tomatoes, which, according to Doctor Google, may cause blistering in the mouth. When a search engine gives you better information than a professional, one has to wonder what exactly these folks learn in dental school. Bottom line: never trust a dentist to solve a medical problem. They just don't have the knowledge.

Very disappointing and unprofessional experience. I had a dental appointment scheduled for 9:40 AM…read more When I arrived, I was told that I owed $87 from my previous visit. I immediately called my insurance company, and they confirmed that according to their records, I had nothing to pay. I returned to the office about 20 minutes later after speaking with my insurance, but they refused to provide my scheduled service and told me I would have to reschedule. I explained that I had arrived for my 9:40 appointment and that the only reason for the delay was trying to resolve the unexpected $87 charge. What made the situation even worse was that the young lady at the front desk started raising her voice at me. At that point, I decided it was best to simply leave rather than continue the argument. I will never come back to this dental office. I expected professional and respectful customer service, especially when I was simply trying to understand a charge that my insurance company says I do not owe. Extremely frustrating experience.
