The billing practices at Modern Dental Health (MDH) & attitude of Melinda G. are the most awful…read moreI've experienced in a very long time. I've spent several hours in frustration on the phone & internet trying to fix their unethical Balance Billing. If you value your time, sanity & possibly even your credit rating DO NOT GO THERE. I was appalled by my interaction with Melinda G. (MG). Her snappy, matter-of-fact attitude & condescending, smug tone left me wondering why she works in a place where she needs to talk to people. MG was beyond rude and just plain awful while I was trying to resolve A BILLING ERROR with her. In Dec. 2014 I paid for Dental Insurance to begin in Jan. 2015. I found that MDH was an In-Network Provider for our new Ins. & was accepting new patients. I called to set up Initial Office Exams and X-Rays for my husband & I. The gal I initially talked to got my Ins. info & verified it PRIOR to setting our appointments. Our appointments were back-to-back on 1/5/15. After checking in we waited while they verified the Ins. coverage AGAIN. AFTER they verified the Ins. covered 100% with no co-pay (everything was Preventative) I went back for my x-rays. The young man doing them mentioned that one of my xrays might not be covered (while I was actually in the seat having them done), but I shouldn't worry, that they would take care of it. Everyone was warm & welcoming thus far, so I felt comfortable in trusting that they would indeed take care of it. Sometime in Feb. 2015 I received a bill from MDH. I called & spoke to a gal who was very pleasant. The gal, who I didn't get the name of, told me not to worry about it, that it was a billing error & that they would take care of it. I threw the bill away and didn't think about it again until 5/21/2015. On 5/21/2015 I got a bill for $153.00. I recalled the previous incident & noticed that this bill was marked as "over 60 days" due, so I called again. Melissa said I needed to talk to Melinda (MG) because she didn't have access to "those" records, she then placed me on hold. She came back a minute later (& nicely apologized for the wait) & said that MG would call me back. When MG called me she was unpleasant almost from the start, beginning with the heavy sighs while she was pulling up my file. I mentioned that I had called before about a bill. She was condescending when she asked who I had talked to. I told her I didn't recall, but I was assured it was taken care of before. She snipped that she "didn't know who I talked to either, so I don't know what to tell you". She then explained to me that "the $153 was a combination of 2 bills, from 2 appts. on Jan. 5th". She said she "didn't know why the Ins. Co. didn't pay the full amount they were billed" and that we "were responsible for the extra costs". She stated very matter-of-factly that I "should call" my "Ins. Co. to figure it out". I told her that I was amazed that they would drop something like this into their customers' laps to deal with (my Mother died on 5/5/15, I had enough to deal with already). I told her that the Ins. benefits were checked prior to our appts. She said that "they were told everything was okay beforehand" but that something "was different when they went to do the billing". I told her this was insane - that the 2 appts. were for 2 initial office exams and x-rays, NOTHING ELSE, and that most places even do the x-rays for free with new patients. I told her I cannot fathom paying them $153 ON TOP OF what they already got from my Ins. She quipped that "the bill was your (our) responsibility to take care of". She never once offered to assist me in ANY way to resolve this. I told her that was fine, that my husband & I had future appts. that I wanted to cancel now & that we would find a new Dentist - she only replied "that's fine". I told her that they can forward our records after we choose a new dentist. She snapped back & said "no records will be sent until this bill is paid in full", then she abruptly HUNG UP ON ME! (Per NRS 629.061, they CANNOT WITHHOLD OUR RECORDS for an outstanding bill.) On 5/22/2015 I talked to the Broker for my Ins. Carrier (Careington). I was told that "MDH is unable to Balance Bill you (me) because they are under contract with Careington". She also confirmed that "MDH is within the Careington Network" and they are "contracted to accept specified fees for services" and that "MDH was paid 100% of the benefit amount under their contract". As a result of this info, I contacted Careington direct and took MORE time to create a written complaint, which I emailed to them that night. Due to the very small office at MDH, we no longer feel comfortable in using their services. We expect that any penalty or fee(s) associated with transferring our records to another dentist will be fully covered by MDH because this inconvenience was/is caused DIRECTLY by their actions. The $153 bill from MDH is erroneous & needs to be marked PAID so it never comes back to haunt us.

I had the same issue mentioned before by J S and Sherry P. They kept scheduling me for cleanings,…read moreand then after my appointment they would say that it was a 'deep cleaning', which would cost around $750 and it would not be covered by insurance. This must be their common up sell tactic to get as much money as possible. When I was surprised about the price I got a lot of push back and attitude. This place is a business interested in making money as apposed to delivering best treatment. Also, when I first tried to cancel my appointments they convinced me that I had no other option. Later on when I found out that I had a large balance unpaid by my insurance I called back and cancelled all of my appointments, not without attempted persuasion and fear tactics not to. For instance, after trying to cancel appointments and deactivate my service, I was reminded that I am not allowed to deactivate until my full balance has been paid. I have a very gross feeling, and also I am unhappy to have spent thousands of dollars in the past months when it wasn't totally necessary.

I and both my children, ages 17 and 7, go to ToothFairy Dental. I go to the one in Reno, yes...Reno…read morehas a Wonderful Dentist for adults and my children go to the one in Gardnerville. With me having no dental insurance, it was hard to find a dentist, that didn't rape me over the coals. Ashley, at the front desk, actually helped me, to finally get in and see the dentist, with very reasonable charges, as a cash paying customer. She is very good, at what she does. The Dentists are fast, thorough and very kind. If your looking for a dentist office, that truly cares about you, I highly recommend ToothFairy Dental. Awesome staff, Dentists and just an Awesome place, all the way around. I promise you, you won't regret going to the dentist anymore, once you've gone here.

I would give zero stars if I could. The level of disorganization and lack of accountability at this…read moreoffice is completely unacceptable. My son had an appointment here three months ago to have a cavity filled. Since then, this office has canceled and rescheduled his appointment FOUR separate times. Each time, we are contacted the day before the appointment and told that they "don't know why" he was scheduled because there isn't a dentist available. We are then pushed out another 2-3 weeks. What is especially frustrating is that no one seems to have any answers. Every time I call, the person I speak with has no idea why this keeps happening and is unable to provide any explanation or meaningful assistance. When I ask to speak to a Manager, they "can't get ahold of one." Meanwhile, my child is the one who has to wait months for necessary dental care because this office cannot seem to manage its own scheduling. I understand that unexpected circumstances happen, but four cancellations over three months, especially with only one day's notice, is not acceptable. If you do not have a dentist available, why are you continuing to schedule patients and then cancel their appointments at the last minute? I should not have to repeatedly rearrange our schedules and wait months just to get my child the basic dental care he needs. Children deserve better than this. At this point, I have completely lost confidence in this office. The entire operation needs to be seriously reevaluated... from scheduling and communication to management and staffing. I strongly encourage the people running this office to take a hard look at what is happening here, because this is not how patients and families should be treated.

. This is my second time receiving treatment here; my first experience was about 9 years ago…read more During my first round of braces, Dr. Andrews was amazing. He took the time to explain every step of the process, listened to my concerns, and made me feel confident in my treatment. Unfortunately, my experience this time has been very different. I feel that very little is explained to me, and both dental providers I have seen spend only a few seconds with me and do not really acknowledge or address my concerns. I originally came in to have my bottom teeth corrected. I specifically explained that I was very happy with my top teeth at the time, as they were straight from my first round of braces, and I had a permanent retainer. I was told my estimated treatment time would be 12-18 months. I am now at the 18-month mark and am still nowhere near finished. What is especially frustrating is that my top teeth, which I was originally happy with, now look significantly flared out. I have repeatedly asked when my treatment is expected to be completed, but I have not been given a clear answer. At this point, I am very unhappy with the results and frustrated with the lack of communication. I understand that orthodontic treatment can take time and that adjustments may be necessary, but I expected my concerns to be taken seriously and my treatment plan and timeline to be clearly explained. Unfortunately, that has not been my experience.
