I had been needing to go to the dentist for a while because for some unknown reason I started…read moregrinding my teeth. By time I knew I was doing it, damage had been done. Also needed a teeth cleaning. A good friend recommended Dr. Michael Tuman's practice. I gave them a call to make and appointment. For some reason the next appointment was 4 months out, but I took it. Meantime, I bought the over the counter tooth guards to protect my teeth at night. They sent me paperwork in the mail to fill out and bring in when I come. FYI, they only take PPO (Preferred Provider Organization) insurance. They do not take HMO'S or DMO'S. Finally my appt. was here! They contacted me through text messaging to remind me of my upcoming appt. They really make sure you are covered by your insurance before they see you, if not you're paying by cash, check or credit before you are seen. I must say it was easy to find, right off of Mt. Pleasant Ave. on Lincoln Drive in West Mt. Airy. There is no parking lot, just on street parking. I had a very pleasant vist. The receptionist, dental assistant and Dr. Tuman were very nice, making me feel comfortable. The dental assistant took x-rays and cleaned my teeth. I think her name was Lori, anyway she was very pleasant and professional explaining everything she was doing. Dr. Micheal Tuman came in and went over the xays with me and told me I needed scaling done to my teeth, but would let me know what my insurance would cover. I also needed a tooth guard made for my mouth. All I could see was dollar signs because nothing was covered 100%. I have to go back for the scaling, but I was very pleased with my vist overall. If you have a PPO insurance, I would highly recommend them.

As a patient of several years, until recently I had mostly positive experiences at Tuman. Two years…read moreago they cancelled an appointment with two days' notice, rescheduled, then canceled again. Then an appointment last winter was cancelled the night before. It happens; they were apologetic and both appointments were ultimately rescheduled. But today after I arrived 12 minutes late for my most recent appointment, I was told I'd have to reschedule because I was outside the 10-minute grace period. I hope anyone but the receptionist would have made an exception, but that's the face of the business and that's who I had to deal with. Unfortunately she was neither sympathetic nor polite. If you expect grace from your customers in the face of unexpected cancellations, then you should be willing to give actual grace in return. I'll be looking for another dentist.

BEWARE! Last year I was looking for a dentist in the area. Since this office was listed as 'in…read morenetwork' on my insurance company website, and was close by, I made an appointment for a cleaning and checkup. After arriving at the office I was asked to purchase dental insurance from the office. I took the paperwork to look it over, then went in for X-rays and cleaning. After finishing up, I was informed that I owed over $300. I said, but I have my own insurance. Was then told 'we don't accept any insurance'. First, no one indicated this to me either when I made my appointment OR when I arrived at the office. Second, as I stated, they were listed as an in-network dental office on my insurance company website. Now, I would think that a dental insurance that accepts 'no insurance' would state this on the phone, or certainly upon arrival for the appointment. Nope. The woman at the desk proceeded to BLAME ME for not telling her that I HAD insurance because if I had, 'none of this would have happened'. The woman at the desk - LISA - neglected to ask ME for my insurance when I arrived. In my opinion, any dental office that has a policy of accepting NO INSURANCE should make that crystal clear up front. Also, it was THEIR responsibility to remove their office name from my insurance website's list of in network offices. I did my due diligence and this office failed (miserably) to do theirs.. In the meantime, I found that this office has been accepting my sister's insurance for years, therefore the woman at the desk - LISA - lied. Like I said......BEWARE.

Meh: the dentists are mid as I had a dental crown fall off within two years (for context, my other crown from a different practice stayed put for over 15 years). Some of them also try to aggressively push for services / procedures you don't need - seek a second opinion when in doubt. Negatives: their billing department runs an absolute racket with shady practices. They try to charge you upfront prior to submitting to your insurance, lie to your face that insurance denied the claim (it was denied because the "claim" was integral to the procedure and no separate payment was applicable), and try to charge you beyond insurance negotiated rates by calling it an "upgrade". Take a printout of your insurance EOB and compare with their itemized invoice prior to paying anything!
