After filing a complaint with the NC Department of Insurance, Guardian insurance agreed to pay even though Dr. Fonda Strickland's office switched me to an out of network doctor in their office AFTER I verified coverage with them (I was switched to Dr. Jessica Walker) and then performed unauthorized work on me (Dr. Walker tried to sell me extra services before she even started, I told her that I only wanted "what my insurance covers 100%" - she should have stopped right there, but she proceeded).
Because the NC Department of Insurance said that I DID MY DUE DILIGENCE and was unfairly charged, Guardian paid.
I suggest you proceed very carefully before being treated by Dr. Fonda Strickland's office, Dr. Jessica Walker, or Dental Suite, or you might end up with a $287 bill like I did, for a check-up they told you was covered.
I have also filed complaints with the BBB and the North Carolina Board of Dental Examiners due to what I feel were dishonest business practices.
Finally, do not believe any reporting Dr. Strickland does about her reviews. If you Google her name, at this point in time, she has 1 - 2 stars on most major review sites. read more
