Carrie Fletcher-Clock, DDS - Happy Patient

Carrie Fletcher-Clock, DDS

(14 reviews)

I recently relocated to Ohio and was in search of a new dental office after being with my previous…read moredentists for over five years. Unfortunately, my experience at Carrie Fletcher-Clock, DDS, in Kettering was far from positive. After reading the reviews, I decided to book a consultation when I needed immediate dental attention. The consult went well, and I initially thought I had found my new dental home--but I was wrong. After the consultation in July, the front desk staff told me they would call me, but I waited two months without hearing anything. When I finally called to follow up, I was met with excuses and no accountability. The front desk blamed the delay on insurance, but as a patient, I wasn't aware of what goes on behind the scenes and felt that even a simple update would have been appreciated. Instead, I was left in the dark with no communication for over two months. When I finally returned for my appointment, I had some follow-up questions based on my conversation with insurance. The dental hygienist ( young lady with blonde hair in bun) was very polite and patient, answering what she could, but Dr. Fletcher-Clock's attitude was shocking. When I asked her questions about my care plan, she told me, "I think you will be a problem," and insinuated that I thought I knew more than her, which was confusing and uncalled for. I wasn't rude at all or challenging her. Multiply time letting her know I AGREEW WITH HER ; I simply wanted clarification and reassurance about my treatment plan. Her dismissive tone and comments about insurance were unprofessional, with statements like "They're probably not even dentists looking at the X-rays. Insurance sucks, and they're in India." I left feeling unheard and shamed for merely seeking information about my own care. Patients should never be made to feel like a burden for asking questions, especially when dental visits can already be anxiety-inducing for some and I tend to experience anxiety when visiting the dentist which is why I had questions and needed to feel safe. What made this experience worse was the lack of accountability. Dr. Fletcher-Clock didn't take any responsibility for the miscommunication, instead blaming me for being "difficult." When I expressed discomfort and wanted to reschedule or reconsider my options, she remarked, "Do you know I blocked off two hours for you?"--as if my time and questions were irrelevant. I responded, "Do you know I've been calling your office for two months with little to no feedback?" I even offered to pay a cancellation fee because I was so uncomfortable (ready to leave) with her tone and statement and to be fair if she felt my questions were a waste of her time. I left the office embarrassed and deeply saddened. Even as I walked out, a staff member (Older lady sitting in chair with dark hair) gave me a dirty look, which added to the already negative experience. This type of treatment is exactly why some patients are afraid to speak up or ask questions at medical and dental offices or refuse to go to the doctor in general. No one should ever feel shamed for wanting to understand their care. This experience was incredibly disappointing, especially after moving to a new state and hoping to find a reliable dental home. It's unfortunate, but I cannot recommend this office based on the lack of communication, professionalism, and care that I received.

love this dentist, love this staff. they genuinely care about your experience…read more dr clock is patient and understanding and willing to talk through my options. she addresses my concerns and eases my anxieties.
