Dr. Lee and his staff are very "hard-sell". I took my daughter in,was told she needed two "baby" root canals. I was shocked because she always brushes, I don't let her eat junk and she wasn't in any pain at all. But, not knowing any better, I agreed. They wanted me to pay for the procedure BEFORE her appointment. I thought that was weird, but I paid. They told me she would have to have nitrous because she would be anxious. Insurance wouldn't pay for it so that would be another $50. Then they told me she had to use a special mouth rinse before the work. Another $25.00. Then they told me she has soft tooth enamel and would need special prescription toothpaste. Another $25.00. So, she finally has two "baby" root canals. We go back for her 6 month check-up and cleaning. They tell me that even though my insurance wont pay for x-rays again (they only pay once a year) that they recommend for kids x-rays every 6 months. I have to pay out-of-pocket. So, she has another set of x-rays. Then he looks at the x-rays and says one of the teeth needs to be extracted and she will need to have a space maintainer installed. My insurance will only pay a portion. Again, they want me to pay before the actual procedure. Also, of course, pay for the nitrous out of pocket. She had the tooth extracted and had a space maintainer placed. A few weeks later the space maintainer was hurting. I called the office and they said Dr Lee could fit her in that afternoon. He looked at the maintainer and said she needed to brush better. She was there about 15 minutes, about 5 minutes in the chair. He charged me $50.00 for the visit. I suspect she could have had a couple of fillings instead of this extensive treatment. He billed for every last penny my insurance would pay and billed me for the remainder, along with the "extras". He has a dental assistant who is very sweet, very nice front office staff. His office is very clean, convenient location and good parking. I thought his hygienist was rude and pushy though.
