When my daughter stood up for herself and siad no, they told her they wouldn't treat her. We later called the dentist, and he said they would have treated her if she had signed a release of liability! She went to a different dentist, and they did the normal cleaning, and she doesn't have any gingivitis. How this place may be still in business is beyond me, but buyer beware if you choose them as your dentist

I needed some dental work done and my dentist retired so I went to the Jefferson clinic on Fondren…read more I was the only client in the office. I was examined by a lady dentist and following the exam I asked if she could approximate the cost and she said she would ask the girls up front to get an estimate. I went to the front desk to wait for the estimate. One of the ladies said 'Go sit down". I said "I am just waiting for an estimate so I will just wait here" She walked toward me and said: " I told you to go sit down" I said "I am your only client. I am Ok to stand while I wait" She then said "if you don't go sit down I am going to call the police". I mean I was stunned. I am an average weight and height 70 y/o female. I could not believe it. It took me about 10 seconds to realize that something was wrong and me standing silently waiting was not it. I left. I mean! What have we come to? I do not recommend this place unless you are willing to obey any request, regardless. This was quite a threatening situation...to get my teeth fixed. There are dental clinics on every corner. You could probably find one that would respect and appreciate your business. This one is not it!

Being new to Houston, I needed to find a dentist. After one visit to different dental practice, I…read morewas unsatisfied and still on the hunt for someone to take care of my dental needs. After reading many reviews, I decided to give Dr. Morency's office a try. When I called, no one was available so I left a message and waited for a call back. My call was returned quickly and I scheduled my appointment with to come in. The lady that called me was very pleasant on the phone and answered all of my questions. On the day of the appointment, I was greeted at the front desk by the lady I had spoken to on the phone. She was equally friendly in person. She greeted me with a smile, collected my co-pay and let me know that the hygienist would be with me soon. After a quick wait time, I was retrieved from the lobby (which is beautiful btw) and taken back to a procedure room. I have periodontal disease and need to have cleanings done more often than most. After my previous bad experience, I waited a while before looking for a new dentist so I needed a major deep cleaning. After my teeth were examined, I was told that I needed a deep cleaning that would be a bit uncomfortable, so they would do it in two appointments. I appreciated that I wouldn't have to do it all at once. I had the first half done and scheduled to come back in a couple of weeks for the other part. The hygienist took her time with my teeth and made sure I was comfortable. She did a wonderful job explaining everything that she did. Dr. Morency was wonderful when he came in to say hello and numb my mouth. As a person that hates the dentist, this smooth experience is a blessing. I've had 3 visits now and every one of them has been amazing.

I was SO nervous when I went for x-rays and cleaning to Dr. Hunsaker but am happy to report that this was the best dental experience I've ever had! First, the hygienist was so sweet and extremely thorough. Not once did I feel uncomfortable, floss-shamed, or embarrassed. She did point out some helpful things that really just felt like welcome advice. When I saw Dr. Hunsaker, he had the sweetest demeanor and really spent time with me. We talked about my x-rays and - no shock here - definitely not 7 cavities as previously reported. I asked lots of questions and he gave me great input, clearly with my teeth as primary consideration instead of money. I left feeling like I could 100% trust him and his expertise. The only thing that I'm sad about is that I wasted 4 years that I could have spent under Dr. Hunsaker's care! Dentists on Dorrington is the best! Update: received a hand-written note from "Dr. Steve" himself, simply to thank me for choosing his practice. It was personalized enough that it is evident he remembers me and our conversations. What a sweet place!

I am one who travels far when I trust a doctor/dentist because it is very very tedious for me to…read morerebuild that rapport again - I used to drive from Houston to Austin for the day just for a cleaning or to see my derm/OB/GYN, etc. I originally went to a dentist in Midtown when I moved back to Houston and he performed a filling, but postoperatively, I felt a sharp pain when I chewed on soft or crunchy foods. So, I went back to them for a reevaluation and they did not see anything and attempted to file my upper tooth down thinking that was the issue. The sharp pain persisted and I LOVE MY CRUNCHY FOODS, so I decided to take a day trip to my Austin dentist and they performed these tests to see if my teeth were misaligned and they took a look, but found nothing again. Unfortunately, the pain persisted, so I googled another provider and came upon Dr. Hassid. Him and his staff are so friendly, personable, and accommodating. Being that I had a recent XR with my dentist in Austin, he waived that fee for me as a new consult as well and just had my Austin dentist email my XR results over to his office so he can evaluate it - saved me tons of $$. He ended up fixing my filling and thanks to him, it's now pain free for me to consume my favorite food texture again.

Be careful if you choose this dental office. My experience has been incredibly frustrating…read more Before my appointment, I told the office that both my daughter and I had recently had X-rays taken at our previous dentist. Despite that, they insisted on taking new X-rays. I later found out they were not covered by my insurance because they had been done too recently. To make matters worse, I was led to believe I was making a copay payment. It wasn't until I asked for a receipt that I discovered I had actually been charged for the X-rays. Had I known that was what I was paying for, I would have questioned it immediately. The office acknowledged that this was their mistake and assured me the charge would be refunded. Nearly two months later, I still have not received my refund. I've called about once a week to follow up, and every conversation has been disappointing. Diane either seems confused about why I'm calling or has the details of my case wrong. Most recently, she told me that my insurance company would be sending me a check instead of the office issuing a refund--which makes no sense since the charge resulted from the office's own error, not my insurance company's. It's incredibly frustrating to have an office admit they made a mistake but then delay resolving it for months while repeatedly acting as though they don't understand the situation. Based on my experience, I would not recommend this office.

I recommend in the strongest terms that you avoid this dentistry practice. I regret not having…read moreregarded all the negative reviews, which seem to follow a pattern and was true to my experience as well: very long wait time, no actual cleaning done on the first visit (which plenty of other dental practices manage to do no problem), trying to upsell you on expensive procedures not covered by insurance with an absolute refusal to do a standard cleaning that is covered by insurance. I will start by saying that the staff were certainly sweet and likeable (although I could have done without the casual chatty remarks about my advanced pregnancy, some unsolicited/random banter about how I must have actually wanted a girl instead of a boy and how I better not start contracting on the exam chair. I know it's just friendly banter and they mean well but it's really not professional or necessary). However, as the visit progressed it became clear that this corporate dental office is trying their darnedest to upsell you. They told me I needed an extra deep cleaning that would cost $500 out of pocket, which I was skeptical of, but considered might be the case because pregnancy does increase your risk of gum disease. But when my husband walked out with a similar set of recommendations and an anticipated bill of $600 out of pocket, the alarm bells immediately went off. We found it strange because the recommendation just doesn't add up given our regular habits and the sum of what varied other dental professionals have recommended each of us in the past--never anything like this. Again, look through the other reviews. Our experience is not unique. When we both insisted that we wished to simply have the regular level of cleaning--and said that the medical provider should feel free to document that as patients, we opted against their medical advice and requested the standard level of routine cleaning covered by our insurance--we were given a number of flimsy excuses, including the suggestion that the dentist who also saw me that day did not have the discretion to overrule her dental hygienist's recommendations, which is obviously nonsense. Anyway, we will not be returning and it's really frustrating to feel that we completely wasted 2 to 3 hours of our time.

Cons: I filled out paperwork two days prior but when I arrived at 10am for an 11am appointment, they said they didn't have the paperwork. I had to re do it. I was done by 10:30 am. I was not sent back until 11:20 am. I was then sent back to the chair and waited another 20 or so minutes for the dentist to look at my teeth for literally 2 minutes. Then, the dental hygienist comes and did an examination and essentially refused to do a basic cleaning covered by insurance, claiming I needed a deeper cleaning that I would need to re-schedule. Overall, I was 'done' at around 12:30 but it was unclear to me that they wouldn't do the basic cleaning until the receptionist broke the news to me. Reading other one-star reviews, this seems to be a pattern. I think they're nice, but probably have a lot of pressure to squeeze what they can out of insurance. I even talked to the dental hygienist, saying I'd rather get the cleaning covered by insurance ASAP since my wife and I are expecting a baby soon and I was already slightly overdue for my cleaning (~7 months) but they preferred to not give me care if they couldn't extract all the money they could from it. Additionally, while I was in the midst of waiting, I heard someone else come in, say that he'd had an appointment that was cancelled by them (the practice) several weeks ago and that they never followed up to reschedule it for him. Again, the receptionist especially was really nice and understanding of my frustration with waiting so long but overall, do not recommend
