Turns out old people don't have to have all 4 pulled as old teeth don't drift in the jaw like a 20 year old's would. Great staff, nice office and convenient location. Fast turn around with insurance and reimbursements - and I didn't have to waste a day traveling to Medford!

I just wouldn't if I were you…read more I went here for about a year. Twice I had a series of very expensive dental appointments for which I paid out of pocket and then had tremendous difficulty getting reimbursed. The pattern was the same both times. I would receive notice from my insurance company that a claim had been paid. Then, allowing for time for the check to arrive in the mail, I would inquire about reimbursement. I was told it had not arrived. So I would inquire again the following week or two and so on until 4-6 weeks had elapsed. I would check periodically with the insurance company to make sure I was understanding correctly. This discrepancy in the facts represented by the insurance company versus their records generated no curiosity whatsoever in the accounting staff (Heidi.) I didn't seem to be able to speak directly to her as she always seemed to be unavailable when I asked. At one point I asked for a 3-way conversation between myself, the office staff and the insurance company. This seemed like the obvious, logical and perhaps only way to resolve the conundrum. But I was told, "We don't do that." From the perspective of a patient who has charged over $5000 on a credit card for dental care, has a payment coming due, the reimbursement seems to be in permanent limbo and there is no apparent effort being made to resolve the matter. The situation and attitude seemed to me to be that they didn't care that I was caught in the middle of a situation where the facts are in dispute and that I'll get a check when they're good and ready. I was just supposed to take their word for it in spite of repeated evidence to the contrary. I was not allowed to speak to the decision-makers directly. The poor receptionist had to bear the brunt of it all and she got quite upset, complaining until I was banned from the office. This though I never raised my voice or insulted anyone. I'm not sure how long it is ethical or legal to hold onto someone's money in such situations. Go to a dentist where they bill the insurance companies directly. This office is way out of touch with their patients if they think they all have the luxury of waiting who-knows-how-long to be reimbursed. They don't want anyone to be angry or upset in their office, yet they fail to perceive how their incompetence and obfuscation is the source of the trouble. Anyway, if someone is angry about how they are being treated, wouldn't you want to know and know why? Not these folks, apparently. They look at this situation as "I'm glad that angry guy is not coming back to our office" instead of "too bad we dropped the ball on reimbursements and needlessly alienated a patient." Not worth dealing with them.

I had a front bottom left molar extracted, tooth 19 to be precise. These people made me feel so comfy, and the whole procedure took about 5 minutes. It was so quick and easy. And cheaper than anywhere. I expected it to be more than $250 (which I was quoted elsewhere) because this is a specialists office. In other words I wish this place did general dentistry, so I could always go here. The only thing I have to criticize is the front desk receptionist was kinda short with me. I called Medfords office to make the appointment here in grants pass and they told me 2:15 so I shows up but she explained it was scheduled at 1. So I apologized and asked if it was too late or do I have to reschedule? But she like sighed and said "no it should be okay." In conclusion the nurses and doctor Rajiv are awesome but the front lady must have had an off day. 5 stars!

After the second hold time, I called back using my work number, and she immediately answered. I do not recommend this dentist at all.

I've been to four other dentists in Brookings, and finally settled on Dr. Chang, since we reached clear and reasonable agreements on the work to be done and the cost. Just a note about local dentistry in Brookings: Unfortunately, dentists in Brookings are mainly non-PPO, so all services for most customers are out-of-pocket. And dental work in Brookings is more expensive than my previous rural doctor. But I found that Dr. Chang offers some discounts for negotiated procedures, and has been willing to work with me on payments. And he is, in essence, an artist. I've been pretty impressed by his work. I have had to be more patient with the time it takes for some procedures, since he is adamant about bone healing and strength. On the other hand, when problems arise, the office responds quickly. I am impressed by his personal phone calls after surgery to check up on patients. He's also rapidly available via email. That was especially helpful when I started developing a minor infection on a weekend. They have a decent website, where I can also contact staff quickly. Dr. Chang is not talkative, and tends to be all business while working. That's okay. I can ask him direct questions and get good answers, and his hygenic staff is interactive and helpful. He is very focused, and is also very attentive to detail. He has up-to-date equipment, and they monitor for health concerns.
