I went to this dentist because I had to have a tooth pulled. I was referred by a dr who worked with them next door. I had no choice because I was in so much pain.
I was informed that my insurance would NOT cover this claim. It turns out my insurance DID cover it and the balance was $33. This was in December.
I was in and out of the hospital, my finances were being transferred from CT, and I received statements from the dr's office about this $33. The last statement I received was on March 31st stating that if I did not make a payment that they would "pursue further legal action." March 31st... this was a Tuesday.
I was served today with a Civil Hearing for this bill stating that I had to pay $183.50!!!! This office NEVER called me to get a payment, they only sent statments. The last statement sent was LESS than a month before they filed charges.
According to the District, I was told that it takes at LEAST a week for them to process the charges. Which means they were NEVER going to give me the change to pay this balance.
I called the office today and told them that I would GLADLY come in and pay the $33 charge - and I was informed that I have to pay $269 because of the court fees.
DO NOT EVER GO TO THIS DENTIST!!!! They are all about money and care NOTHING about their patient. read more
