HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE - in my short scheduled visit here, I was repeatedly lied to, rushed in and out and pressured at just about every step of my visit. I seriously question the business integrity of Floss 32 along with the positive reviews they have - not one part of my experience was positive except for the initial call to make an appointment.
I scheduled my appointment weeks in advance for a cleaning, exam, x-rays and the time needed for addressing and filling a tooth. I specifically and repeatedly asked the receptionist I spoke to on the phone for an available time slot which the dentist would have enough time to perform all the work and address all my issues. She assured me that the appointment date we scheduled weeks out would be more then sufficient to take care of everything I need done. I insisted this was extremely important, I didn't want to have to make multiple trips over months to address work needed - she assured me that the date and time we scheduled would allow multiple hours for whatever needed to be done.
After waiting weeks and showing up to the appointment early, I was greeted by a much more hostile receptionist. I was curtly and vaguely retold prices and sent back to an exam room. They took x-rays of one tooth. The dentist came in, examined my tooth for no more then 3-4 seconds, explained they could do a filling now but they would most likely end up hitting a nerve, causing severe pain that would lead to a root canal. They said they neither have the x-ray technology nor experience to perform a root canal on a molar and recommended I go somewhere else. They then said they were ready to start drilling on it and could put in a filling and said I "have a few minutes to decide".
Feeling uncomfortable already, I thought it best to wait and get a more professional opinion - I said let's just proceed with the cleaning, full exam and x-rays I scheduled.
At this point, after being in the office no more then 5 minutes and waiting weeks for an appointment, I was told they didn't have time to do the cleaning, exam and x-rays I scheduled. They told me I must have been wrong about what I discussed initially when setting up the appointment and rushed me out of there so fast it made my head spin.
They charged me the full price I was supposed to pay for a full cleaning, exam and x-rays and said if I wanted to come back to get the cleaning, exam and x-rays done I originally scheduled, they had an appointment available in about 35 days! They then informed me I would have to pay a much higher price if I come back because I was no longer a "new patient" and the fee I was originally told was just for "new patients". Before leaving, I asked for the x-ray they took of my tooth and they printed off a low quality photo for me.
This experience leads me to really question the expertise, integrity and honesty of this dental practice. A dental office with shady practices that takes so little responsibility for their actions would make me seriously question whether they are honest enough to work on your teeth or your family's teeth. If I gave them permission to work on my tooth, what are the odds they would just so happen to drill too deep and force a root canal? What type of responsibility would the front office take for any problems they created? Who is in charge and responsible for this dental practice and why are so few practices and policies in place to look after their patients and provide a consistent and positive experience?
At the end of the day, I wouldn't recommend this dentist to anyone. I seriously question the positive reviews they have - are they all fake? I will definitely be reporting Floss 32 to the BBB, FTC and state attorney general and I sincerely hope no one else has to go through such a poor experience when they're just trying to get needed medical care. read more
