    Very dishonest and unfair concerning movement of my teeth after braces. They admitted my teeth…read moremoved because they had me use my wire retainers and proceed to tell me that's why they use the plastic Invisalign type ones now. Paid a lot of money, did my part and wore my retainers, they moved due to their incorrect care and the they said it was on me and I'd have to pay to fix it. Don't waste your money!

    I got braces through Dr. Mack. They were removed about 7 years ago. I wore the plastic retainers…read more24/7 for 6 months as prescribed. After the 6 mo. I was given a wire retainer. Within a couple of days I told Dr. Mack my teeth were moving. I continued to go into his office over the next several years with the same complaint and he'd keep adjusting my retainers. Fast forward to a couple of months ago. I now have a big space between my back two molars. I can't even put on the first plastic retainer I was given, that's how much my teeth have moved. When I went in to talk to them about it I was told I would have to get braces again with a cost of $2,500, and that's with a discount for being a previous customer. When I spoke with the new Dr. in the office about all of this I was told they don't even use the wire retainers anymore because "teeth move more with that type of retainer than with the plastic ones."-those were HIS words, admitting movement happens with the wire retainer, just as I had told them for years. So, now I have to pay them to fix a problem that was their fault in the first place! I will not go back to dr. Mack and I will never refer anyone to him again! It's obvious it's all about money! I am a middle aged woman. Insurance did NOT cover any of the cost. I wore my retainers religiously and now I'm expected to cover the cost of something that was preventable in the first place. TOTAL disappointment!! I will never return!!

    Had three appointments scheduled. Had to cancel one. They shifted appt 2 to 30 minutes sooner…read morewithout informing anyone verbally, fine. But then, they canceled the third appointment even though the patient was 20 minutes early. Because they "made an assumption". Zero apology. The office manager just kept repeating herself about the assumption they made. They must make a killing because they don't seem to mind losing patients - 3 at once.

    My child had not been taking care of his teeth and we knew he required quite a bit of work. We had…read moreto ask the office on several occasions for a treatment plan but they "never had it ready." Finally his father went to the office and would not leave empty handed. They gave him a list of work totalling over $20,000 out of pocket and a crown on nearly every tooth in his mouth! He mentioned it to his orthodontist during a routine check and she asked to see the treatment plan. The orthodontist called me and said that this office was trying to sell me the "Cadillac of treatment" when it wasn't necessary. She consulted a pediatric dentist who confirmed crowns are not recommended at his age, let alone a whole mouth full. She said to never go back to this place and recommended another office for a 2nd opinion. The dentist who did the 2nd opinion recommended many fillings (which we knew) and only one crown, totaling around $5,000 out of pocket. We will never return and would never recommend this office to anyone. If I could give 0 stars I would.
