Unfortunately I cannot recommend this dentist. There is a definite culture in this office to push for and perform any and all possible procedures. If your insurance has any procedures become available that they will pay for, this office will insist that said procedure be performed before they will do any work that you actually came in for. This runs from the top to the bottom, with even the assistants knowing that they must insist on the extra procedures. I had seen a previous yelp review on Dr. Dameron stating that his office "performs unneeded procedures. I ignored this and forgot about it until I saw this play out over the course of a few trips to that office. The final straw for me was when I needed a crown reglued. My new insurance will pay for 1 x-ray yearly, which had just become available. The assistant asked me to step up to the x-ray machine. I told her flatly that I did not need an x-ray, I just needed my crown glued, regardless of what an x-ray might show. The assistant informed me that my insurance would pay for 1 a year. I told them regardless, I just came to get the crown glued. She said it had been 13 months since my last x-ray, which coincidentally is the last time they insisted I have one because my insurance would pay for it, and I would not be seen without a recent x-ray. When they sent me to the endodontist next door, they also insisted I have a separate set of x-rays, apparently the ones I had been bullied into taking were not sufficient. Its a total racket and as I stated before, it seems to be a culture running from the top to the bottom of this practice. My teeth need a lot of work and it is going to take a lot of money to get the work I actually need. I cannot afford to have a greedy office squander my insurance dollars for their own gain, without getting me any closer to having the smile I want. Each visit, Dameron insisted on using temporary glue on my crown because he was just sure I was going to pony up 12,000 dollars soon to do the additional work he "recommends". If I had unlimited funds I'm sure Johnson city Smiles would do the work I need along with a lot that I don't and get rich in the process. 12000 dollars was the rock bottom quote they gave me. I wound up going to Dr. Dyer who found a solution for me within my insurance dollars budget and I couldn't be happier. Had I stayed with jc smiles I would have no insurance money remaining and additionally, no front teeth read more
