She said I need an extensive cleaning and do not qualify for the basic cleaning my insurance covers. Finance lady came in asking for a large amount of money in order to move forward. I got up and left without services. The following day I paid out of pocket for my previous dentist who no longer took my insurance, and he confirmed I do not have gum disease or 2 cavities. This placed straight up scammed me. Shortly after this happened I was in contact with my insurance stating Carol Cabanas submitted thousands of dollars of claims. Insurance was notified of their discrepancies. I do NOT recommend this facility. This is one of the reasons why people avoid going to medical/dental appointments. Scams everywhere guys watch out.

Seemed like a good, competent dentist, but…read more.. The office doesn't look like a typical dentist office: it's located in a poorly maintained 1960s building that was clearly built for some other purpose. Instead of the usual bland or soothing music, they were playing a rock radio station with at least one political commercial that would have caused me to change stations, if I could have. (Maybe not the right environment, if going to a dentist makes you anxious.) Office was decorated almost exclusively with covers from those advertising magazines you get in the mail proclaiming "Best Dentists in Coachella Valley!" They charged me for services I didn't ask for, and they didn't explain why they were necessary or say it wouldn't be covered by insurance; specifically, they asked for $25 as I was leaving. I thought it was odd, but paid it. When I got the explanation of benefits from by insurance (United Health Care), it said I didn't owe any copay or deductible for the visit. When I called Dr Aguilar's office about it they had an instant answer (as if they're asked all the time); "We took photos [not x-rays] of your teeth and applied fluoride, and that's not covered by insurance." I remember getting these services at my appointment but thought it was odd because no other dentist has ever done that for me. It was an upsell without any selling.

Dear Dr. Cartter, I am writing to express my deep…read morefrustration and disappointment with the dental implant work performed at your clinic, which in my opinion has been both unreasonably expensive and grossly unreliable. In total, I paid approximately $50,000 for a full-lower dental implants under the assumption that I was receiving high-quality, long-lasting treatment backed by professional integrity and care. However, less that three years after the procedure, the implants have failed not once, but twice. This is completely unacceptable for a procedure of this magnitude and cost. Each time the implants have broken, I have been left not only dealing with the physical pain and inconvenience, but also with an emotional and financial burden that should never have been necessary - especially after paying a premium price for what was supposed to be permanent, top-tier dental work. To make matters worse, when I sought accountablity and assistance from your office regarding these failures, you and your staff have refused to stand by your work. I find this deeply unethical and disappointing. Patients who invest their trust - and signifacant financial resources - in your care deserve better. Frankly, I feel taken advantage of and cheated. I am requesting a full explanation of what went wrong with the procedures and materials used. I sincerely hope you will take this opportunity to do the right thing and restore some faith in your practice. Scott A. Sherman

After taking X-rays, they told me I did have an abscessed tooth. This is something I pretty much had diagnosed already. I was looking for treatment! They told me all they could do is prescribe some antibiotics and refer me out. I was surprised to learn they didn't do simple work such as replacing a crown or a root canal. Every dental practice I ever went to, this type of dental care was their bread and butter. If I had known they did not do this in-house, I would have never gone here. Why, because I now am at the mercy their referral. A dental practice I did not choose. I was referred out to Synergy Endodontics. I had to wait 3 weeks to get an appointment with them. I visited them on July 5th. Again, I had more X-rays. Again I was told it was an abscessed tooth. The dentist told me he would have to study my X-rays further to explore treatment options. He told me he would let me know these options in a day or two. The date is now July 30th and I have had no follow-up from either Mountainside Dental or Synergy Endodontics. My abscessed tooth continues to give me pain and headaches. I foolishly wasted precious time thinking that either one of the so called "dental care" professionals would followup. Now I have to start from scratch with even worse pain. Of course both businesses wasted no time billing my insurance. If they would spend the same energy on patient care, I would be posting a more positive review; which are the reviews I prefer writing. In the world of dental care, there are plenty of options. Highly recommend you explore other options than either one of these practices. Bottom line: Avoid!!!
