I was quoted one price for dental work, even had a written quote. After the dental work was completed my bill had doubled. When I said that I could not afford that bill, that it was twice as much as the original quote Forum Dental Staff was more than happy and accommodating in assisting me to open a Care Credit account. As I now had a care credit account open, and means to pay for dental care, some weeks later I had an appointment with Dr. Crouppen. I had heard that he seemed to be an adequate dentist but that he didn't present very well. And boy they weren't lying. Dr Crouppen appeared dishelved, sloppy , stained smock, greasy hair. Wasn't sure how I felt about receiving his care. Praying in earnest to my God that Crouppen had washed his hands and wore gloves. Luckily for me, the dental technician did all the real work and heavy lifting and my interactions with Crouppen were brief albeit memorable. And at the end of that appointment Forum Dental was more than happy to charge another $500 to my care credit account. Fast forward several weeks later and Forum Dental is offering a free dental day in which the offer some free services to people with no dental insurance to include 1.) Free teeth cleaning 2.) Free tooth extraction 3.) Free filing. I haven't had a teeth cleaning in a while, and could have used another filling. Luck of the draw Crouppen was up. But wasn't his jolly old self. I wondered if the fact that it was the free dental clinic had him bent out of shape or was it something else. Couldn't quite put my finger in it. Needless to say same, mouth, same teeth different payor source. That day was their free clinic that the advertise and explain how they give back to the community. That particular day they were not going to get to add my dental charges to my Care Credit account. That particular day after another very brief encounter with Crouppen, in which he was both rude and unprofessional, ended with Crouppen telling me that there was absolutely NOTHING HE COULD DO FOR ME, AFTER HAVING TOLD ME THAT THE DENTAL WORK I NEEDED WOULD COST AS MUCH AS A BRAND NEW CAR , AND WELL I JUST DIDN'T HAVE THAT KIND OF FUNDING ON MY CARE CREDIT ACCOUNT. After Forum Dental had called me multiple times that day switching my appointment time. It was clear and as different as night and day in the respect, concern, care and treatment that I received as long as my credit card was being billed compared to the day I was to receive the free dental care that they advertise that the do to give back to the community. I was floored with how disrespectful and rude Crouppen and the technician were at my last and final visit to Forum Dental. I would strongly encourage and recommend that you look for another dental clinic that puts the patient 's care and treatment ahead of their business profits. read more
