    I had the same experience as the other reviewer. I was overcharged by several hundred dollars…read more Additionally the practice insisted in me signing a release form for a procedure I was not getting. Shady? Absolutely. They charge me if I cancel the appointment within 24 hours of the date, but they cancelled my appointment the night before I was scheduled to come in without any consideration for me and what I had planned and arranged including having to take time off from work. Shady? Absolutely. I'm considering filing a Complaint with the Colorado Dental Board Discipline and Enforcement.

    Blanca Peak Dental Center (Dr. Sarah Nazeri) recently subjected me to several deceptive,…read moreincompetent and even unethical acts. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THEM. Details: (1) I went there for a severe toothache and they recommended a root canal but said the best they could do was in a month. (2) they lied about their schedule being packed, when in fact the reason I had to wait a month, in pain, was that Dr. Nazeri was about to go on vacation, which I only found out later; So she was willing to leave me in pain so she could get my business despite her vacation. That is a blatant violation of medical ethics. They should have referred me to another provider or expanded their hours to get me in quickly. (3) they lied to get me to have the specialized pre-root-canal x-ray (CBCT) right then at the initial exam -- they said it would save me a separate appointment (an hour's cab ride for me) because it could not be done on the same day as the root canal itself, which turned out to be false (as I discovered at another provider). They apparently wanted to get the $170 x-ray fee even if I went elsewhere for a sooner root-canal. (4) they said they would mail me the x-ray in time to use with another specialist. It's too big a file for email, and they wouldn't use Dropbox or similar service. But it arrived a week later, over 3 days after my appointment with a different provider, indicating that they delayed mailing it out, despite the promise, a reminder phone call from, me and assurance that it would be mailed in time. As a result I had to pay $167 for the same x-ray from another specialist. (5) I disputed the credit card charge mainly on the basis that the late mailing rendered their $170 x-ray useless to me. To my surprise and shock, Blanca Peak fought it! So I explained the whole story to the CC company, including the multiple lies, in writing, and they sustained my dispute in less than 24 hours! My usual policy is that if the merchant makes good on a problem (which most do), I do not write a negative review. In this case, they did not voluntarily make good, but fought the cc dispute.

    My husband has had braces from here for about 2 years now and we finally are getting them off today…read moreand thank god. I wasn't planning on writing a review, but after how we were welcomed to the front desk today? This is needed. I hope my husband is happy with his teeth after this because Jesus they put him through hell. Rude front desk and even dr. Stringer was disappointingly rude. Anyways, I could understand if it was only us that had a bad experience, but my mother in law had a even worse experience and has sought out another orthodontist to fix the botched job they did here. Not only her, but a friend of mine said after getting her braces off and going to her normal dentist, the dentist asked if she was happy with her teeth, because he had thought that her orthodontist didn't do very well. She also told me of a horror story of dr.stringer pulling her bun to get her to sit up higher in a chair while tightening her braces, ummm? Obviously not okay. Very happy to be done with this place, finally. I hope people will choose a different orthodontist.
