Hello. I was referred to this dentist because I had a cracked tooth. I was seen by the staff of Endodontic Associates today at their Fort Wayne, IN, Dupont Rd. location. I was referred there by Mercy Seat Dentistry for a #3 cracked tooth. My appointment there was immediately rippled with unpleasantries upon my encounter with the first employee, the most blonde receptionist. I was immediately asked for my insurance card before they asked for any type of personal identification. I told them that my referring dentist should have that information. I was informed that they would have no problem billing me and I could provide my insurance at a later time. The first nurse to take x-rays was professional. She asked me about my charting and I said that yes I had filled it out correctly. I was told I had to go to another room for more x-rays. The next nurse who took the next x-rays started out professionally until she informed me that I needed a visual oral cancer screening. I respectfully declined that and make a note of it. The initial meeting with the dentist, Dr. Bryce, was cordial, but then turned to an unauthorized head and neck examination followed by a verbally unauthorized oral cancer screening. I then informed the Dr. I had a right to deny the oral cancer screening, but he said he didn't know if I had that right to deny it. After a final disagreement with the same receptionist while she required a $200 down payment, I asked if I was being detained and left the premises. Future customers here forfeit all rights and liberties at the door. read more
