Rude and arrogant. I hate to say it, and this is just my opinion, but the older receptionist seems fairly hostile to their Latino clientel. I also caught the staff in the reception area mocking a mentally ill man because he was talking a lot. So, I have a cavity. I get there and the dentist, I forget who he was, tells me I can have it filled, so he fills it and I go happily on my way. Once the novacaine wears off tho, I realize he has not filled the tooth in the proper place. So I make another appointment and go through this whole ordeal with abcesses and everything else, so he recommends I have it pulled. Ok, no prob, so he pulls it, but a week later it all happens again because he left parts of the tooth in my jaw. What an ordeal and all he/they did was beat around the bush trying to blame ME for the problem because 'I let the tooth get so bad.' Like I said, this place is so wacky that its laughable.

I'm terribly afraid of anything having to do with teeth, but I've been having problems recently…read more Everyone there was friendly and attentive, they were understanding that I was scared, but also made my dental health a first priority. I've seen several dentists in the area in the last 5 years, and this was the first time I was listened to about the discomfort I've been having. They took a more assertive approach to my issues and actually fixed things, rather than a "Remember to floss, here's your bill" attitude. Scheduling is simple, the wait time is basically zero, and the staff treats you like a person, not just another mouth. This is my dentist from now on.

3 weeks ago I went to the Hazleton office & paid the $29.00 for people with no insurance…read more At check in I was told they don't have change & thankfully another patient asked if I needed change & was kind enough to me change. That same person that gave me change was in & out within minutes & stopped at the front desk on his way out & said I drove 1hr to get here because I was told my tooth would be extracted & the dentist said they can't do it today. I got my x-rays & exam. While there I heard nothing but people told they need a root canal. I knew what I was going to be told. The dentist came in & did some testing as to why I'm having pain by tapping (Which I had NO pain). They used super cold stuff that hurt on other teeth & the dentist said on the tooth hurting you with hot do you feel any pain? I said no. The dentist said your tooth is dead & you need a root canal. At checkout I was presented with a $3,336.00+ cost for the root canal, & crown. Root canals fail & cause infection. Any good, honest dentist & endodontist knows that a root canal only cleans the roots out & can NOT clean out the 3 million tiny pathways which harbor the bacteria & leads to a low grade infection in the entire body. Watch some honest dentists on YT. 3 weeks later my wife's filling cracked. We went back & at check in we were told we don't have change so we can apply the balance left to your account but we said we brought the correct amount. The receptionist was very surprise after her long wind speech (What business does NOT have change? And how is that when others pay with cash there is NO change? First RED FLAG). During are check in another female was aside us that had insurance & was told she needed to pay $46.00 for the fluoride paste that the insurance won't cover. The female asked is that necessary & was told I'll have to check. While my wife filled her questions out another lady checked in & she had insurance but the receptionist gave her a hard time about the insurance & the lady seemed to get it straightened out. My wife was called back & a hygienist came in followed by young thin blonde hair dentist that seemed not very nice. She looked at the x-rays & the 3D scan then said to my wife you need a root canal & a deep cleaning for periodontal disease (Something my wife disclosed on her new patient check in do to having a graph over 25 years ago) my wife spoke up & said I don't want a root canal as I was told in the past by an endodontist that bacteria still lives in the dead tooth in the millions of paths ways that they can't clean out & causes infection & with my wife's immune system she recommends extraction only. At this point the young dentist seemed to get attitude after my wife questioned more. Then young dentist said while then extraction is your only option but you have bone loss & the periodontal disease needs to be treated (Which we both understand) but what we can't understand & what was not answered is why after all the past x-rays from dentists we seen over the years for cleanings & general oral healthcare not one brought this to our attention? We asked how much & were told like I was on checkout you'll be told at check out. At checkout you feel like you're dealing with a car salesman. No words expect for the dentist said this & then shown a tablet with a whooping $3,500.00+ bill. Then the nonsense about finance is available if you can't afford it. It's not about not being able to afford it but like they're robbing you! My wife was then asked when would she like to make the appointment? We asked for a breakdown of the billing after hearing this absurd price at which point the look on the lady' face said "I'm getting disgusted with all these questions". Aspen Dental will get you in quick, take your cash not give change (What business does NOT have change & how is that when others pay with cash), make you feel like you're going to get good honest care & then slap you EVERYTIME with over $3K in fees & talk about financing like you're buying a car! Best part the dentist will NOT make you a partial until you get your teeth cleaned but will do the deep cleaning before you get your extraction! WTH? Are you serious? Deep cleaning equal bacteria & I really need this tooth extracted as it's down to the gum! So the bacteria isn't a big deal & I can still get my tooth extracted ASAP? LOL The letters after your name do NOT make you smarter or above me. You walk out $29.00 lighter in your wallet, WASTED time, miles, & gas feeling like you just got ripped off! Do NOT go to ANY Aspen Dental clinic. They are there to help you lighten your wallet ONLY! It's for the desperate & a civil or class action suit should be & hopefully will be about against Aspen Dental for their unethical business practices! I STRONGLY recommend reporting Aspen Dental to the BBB & Attorney General!

Dr. Boyle lets me leave the office with an infection without giving me a prescription for Amoxicillin or some type of antibiotic to treat this issue. My bill states palliative care emergency visit .Yet it took 30 days from my last appointment Clearly It was not an emergency! He certainly didn't give me palliative care or he wouldn't let me leave without handing me a prescription. Any first year Dental student knows you cannot extract a tooth with an infection present! He gives me a referral for an oral surgeon located over an hour from my location. He is definitely not looking out for my best interest. Only a kick back for the referral $$$ The other office would then charge me for another set of X-rays costing 350 bucks!! Boyle does not have the ability to send my xrays to the referral. I was told by an assistant that he is old school. He certainly charges state of the art prices. This clown does not have a spit sink! I am given a suction straw for my mouth and have to suck it like a refreshment with all that nasty taste in my mouth. He doesn't have antiseptic mouthwash! He gives me water!! I have an infection tion!!! What dentist office in your life did you ever go to that did not have antiseptic mouth wash?!! This is the most antiquated office I ever walked into. He's nothing more than a up sell car salesman. He tried to sell me an implaint tooth. Mind you this is the rear upper tooth Never to be seen by anyone. I'm still in the chair and had not recuperated yet before he starts his sales pitch throwing out $4,000 price for an implant that I don't need at this time. I get a prescription of amoxicillin from my Medical provider and have not had any issues since. Stay clear of this place by all means!!
