I don't have insurance, so this amount is a bridge too far. Building a walled garden around quality dental care is a terrible way to run a business. The cost is on account of a number of tests which have to be performed BEFORE they clean your teeth. I don't have any major concerns, so what is the fuss about? How about trusting the testimony of the patient? How about working with the patient instead of dictating to me what I should do? Quality care shouldn't be made inaccessible like this, it's so frustrating. And the office telling me to "kick rocks" was the real "kick in the teeth" that got me to write this review. Let's hope YELP keeps it up for others

He wants me to come for cleaning first with my 8 teeth (hahahaha) so I will see if I make it. I may opt for one of these YouTube dentures since I have friends that love them and all the appointments and dealing with issues for years hopefully won't be there.

I've been going to this dentist office for several years now and it's convenient for me because…read moreit's within walking distance. The front desk person always remembers me and I get to go back usually less than five minutes after being checked in. I like that they have a texting system for reminders about appointments. They texted us all today mentioned that their parking situation is valet only right now which didn't affect me because I walked but I can see how that can be annoying to others. Their waiting area is small with three chairs but they have things like a cell phone cleaner and bottled water while you're waiting. I had my six month check up today. I had X-rays done, my next appointment scheduled, cleaning, flossing, polishing, and fluoride done. A dentist also came in after the hygienist and checked my teeth. All of this was done in about 40 minutes. They usually give you a small goody bag with a toothbrush, a small thing of floss, and a travel toothpaste tube but they didn't this time for me which isn't a big deal. My fluoride treatment was $20 and I paid with my FSA card.

Over the past 30 years, I've had extractions, braces, a couple dozen fillings, and numerous other…read moretooth repairs and cleanings. I have never, in my entire life, had as terrible an experience as I did at Dr. Parker's office. My visit for three cavity fillings began when Dr. Parker went to numb me up. When I told him I have a tolerance for dental anesthetics and generally need a bit more than most people, I was told it was psychosomatic. That was my first red flag...even if pain is only in one's head (and my dentist back home has told me I have this tolerance, it's not a new thing, it's been true since childhood), isn't the point to make the patient feel comfortable? He then proceeded to do one of the shots directly into a nerve in my cheek. (If you've never had this happen, the pain is BLINDING. I actually screamed.) When I had trouble opening my mouth (because he shot numbing agent DIRECTLY INTO A NERVE), instead of helping me gently ease it open, Dr. Parker stuck two fingers in my mouth and literally yanked. The fillings themselves turned out very good, and I've had no problems with them in the two months since they were done, but I was in misery the entire time, CLEARLY in pain and discomfort, and Dr. Parker never stopped, never once asked if I was okay, never bothered to add more anesthetic. Not once, in an hour of work. He clearly has no patience for patients themselves and doesn't care about anything except getting through his work. He also spent a good chunk of this visit belittling the female hygienist assisting him, and even took a break at one point in the middle of my work to go do an eval of another patient. The sheer unprofessionalism would have been enough to turn me off all by itself, even without the horrific way he did the work. I went home after that visit and sobbed. This has never happened to me before. I was supposed to go back after an upcoming root canal to have a crown done, and the thought gave me literal nightmares until I decided to find a new dentist instead. If you have a pain tolerance and don't care about bedside manner, Dr. Parker knows what he's about and is good at the actual dental side of things. If you have any anxiety about dentistry whatsoever, AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

My front tooth had a stain on it and she spent extra time polishing that up for me before the cleaning. The office is located in a "home" type building, so lookout for the big white sign out front. Plenty of on street parking when I went. The waiting room has a Keurig and plenty of kcups to choose from. They offer specialty zoom whitening treatments that I'm definitely considering.

And now I have to get a second opinion because I've heard so many stories about how inaccurate her assessments are. The badly trained hygienist shoved the whole metal x ray holder in my mouth (the metal ring should be outside) for maybe a dozen x rays. I started screaming in pain and was even in tears. When the doctor came out she expressed no concern for my pain, just blaming my experience on my large tongue. It had never once been brought up before and it was a really crappy way to get around validating my pain. Later that day as I started having symptoms of a respiratory infection, I lost it. In addition to that agony and degradation, now I had to put everything on hold for nearly a week because of whatever nastiness was on that metal thing shoved to the back of my throat again and again, all while the "medical professional" blamed me for my large tongue. And I missed out on paid work I really needed. Dr Monahan hasn't responded to my other review or two emails. I will not contact her directly again but if she wants to apologize she can reach out to me. I am definitely going to report her and her practice and encourage others to do the same. No one should have to endure this.
