Made an appointment and then entered my insurance info online. When I arrived I was asked for my…read moresocial security number which I was uncomfortable providing. In the past Ive been notified of many password and social security breaches so I didnt think that was relevant to a basic cleaning only appointment. My insurance 100% covers the cleaning. After not wanting to provide my social the office manager came out and said they need my social to submit to Delta Dental. I felt uncomfortable with the entire proceeding so offered to just leave. However, I decided to call Delta Dental and was told that just my insurance info that I provided was enough to look up my policy. I then called Wynnewood Dental Arts and merged in the Delta Dental rep. She clearly told Wynnewood Dental Arts my social wasnt needed. Then Wynnewood Dental Arts said they verified my Delta coverage the day before, but like to have the social security numbers as an office policy (not what the manager said to me). If you want to be treated like an idiot and lied to this is the office for you. Again, they never needed my social, already had my insurance verified, and then lied to me

I am greeted by my name, staff are courteous and my appointment times are always respected. I picked this office through the Alumni Network of Temple University-Dr. DeFinnis lived up to his reputation. Since I have been a patient, I have recommended countless others who were Alumni & Non-Alumni.

I have been going to Dr. Katie Miller at Narberth Dental Group for over 6 years. She is young…read moreenough to be completely up to date on the latest techniques while still being tremendously experienced. You won't be pushed into services you don't need but everything is available. Recently I began taking my 10 year old son there, too. They are equally great with my dentist phobic child-so gentle and taking all the time he needs. And if it can get even better, we are seeing Dr Vanessa Wang for orthodontia. I was first and have just finished Invisalign, which I loved. Great results without metal brackets. My son has a palate expander and as a child who hates dental treatment it was no small feat to install it. I cannot begin to tell you how personal and caring they were-very sensitive to his needs. Anyway, if you are looking for personal, caring, gentle, professional service this is your place.

I had a lot of dental work early on in my adult life and for that reason I am a fearful dental…read morepatient. However, the dental hygienists and Dr. Hallam have made it as comfortable and efficient as any place I have ever gone, which is a lot. They are kind, thorough, communicative, and accommodating - not to mention the best dental work I have ever received. Dr. Hallam is the best of the best. I will never be going anywhere else, and I am just so grateful to have landed in a place that can care for my dental needs and exceed all expectations.

My experience at this dental office has been a masterclass in billing confusion and a complete…read moreabsence of accountability. It began with my two deep cleaning visits. At the first appointment, only my left side was treated. Yet somehow, the billing code submitted reflected treatment on the right side. When I pointed this out, I was casually told it was "fine" since I'd be returning to complete the other side anyway. Apparently, documentation accuracy is optional here. Two months later, I noticed a $225 charge on my credit card that I never authorized nor was notified about. This included an additional $200 for my first deep cleaning visit (on top of the $300 I had already paid) and $25 for initial films they had "forgotten" to charge me for earlier. What was characterized as a "minor" error by the office wasn't minor at all. Because they submitted the wrong films (a direct result of their incorrect documentation), my insurance claim was denied, leaving me responsible for the majority of the visit cost. No one from the office contacted me to explain the issue. My card was simply charged. After multiple calls over three months and repeated promises to "look into it," nothing has been resolved. The error may have been theirs, but the burden was mine: time, phone calls, and weeks of unnecessary back-and-forth. At my most recent visit, I proactively confirmed with my insurance that I was eligible for a covered routine cleaning. I walked in confident. I was immediately told I owed $68. After questioning it, I was informed this was actually for a prior follow-up visit that was never collected at the time. Interesting how these forgotten balances only seem to surface long after the fact, and always in their favor. After my cleaning, I was presented with a total of $113: $68 for "periodontal maintenance" and $45 for an "optional" mouth rinse. This rinse was applied without explanation, discussion of cost, or the minor detail of my consent. Not only was I never told my visit would be coded as periodontal maintenance instead of a routine cleaning, but when I called my insurance, they confirmed the copay should have been $50, not $68. So even the surprise charges were inflated. As a healthcare provider myself, I find this particularly concerning. I ensure that I document the correct laterality before amputating a limb. I obtain consent before initiating procedures. I discuss options. I answer questions patiently. I make sure my patients understand what they are receiving and what they are being billed for. That's called standard of care. At this point, the pattern of incorrect documentation, unauthorized credit card charges, creative coding, and inconsistent copays feels less like oversight and more like strategy. The front desk staff also appear visibly irritated when asked basic billing questions, as though transparency is an unreasonable request. Patients should not have to audit their dental office after every visit. I cannot recommend this practice and will absolutely not be returning.
