Lux Dental is pretty much a scam. Absolutely, DO NOT GO HERE. If you read through all of the other reviews, you'll notice a trend. They overcharge, they do not provide you with proper care, their administration/billing/front office management is a circus. They have zero consideration for their patient's time and health. 6 years ago, I got my invisalign done by them. They said that the cost was going to be $4400. I paid $2200 and insurance was supposed to cover the rest. Come to find out years later, they were only billing my insurance company $44 a month, and not the total amount. I didn't know this, so when I left my company, I changed dental insurance and got stuck with an $1896 bill. Lux Dental said that I was supposed to be taking care of the payment now because I left the insurance and they can on longer bill the original insurance.
I tried to figure out what I was supposed to do because this seems absolutely unfair. In the meantime. I receive a letter in the mail from TSI collections agency with all of Lux Dental's information on it, and my information on it with the same exact amount that was owed. Figured ok, this is a big deal, let me pay off this collections notice. Then a week later, I get a call from Lux Dental saying I still owe them the $1800. I'm completely in shock telling them that I paid the collections agency. Lux Dental confirms that they do work with TSI, but it seems like I've been scammed, and now I still owe Lux Dental $1800. At this point, I'm really stressed out because I just paid that much, trying to work with my bank to get that money back, and Lux Dental is hounding me.
Super stressed and annoyed at this point, I pay off Lux Dental and square out my account. Being in tech, I'm really curious to know how some "fake" collections agency got all of my information. Either Lux Dental sold it to them, or their systems have been hacked. Alternative theory is that Lux Dental has a scam "collections" account and tries to get double payment from their patients. If that's the case - WOW. Either way, they're completely in the wrong here because I tried to work with their admin/billing team for years to try to get this resolved before I got scammed and they were never officially able to give me the right answer. They took my honesty and integrity for granted and I'll never forgive their office for that.
Now, they're trying to scam my husband. My husband is going to a new office, hasn't been to Lux Dental in two years. Before he left their office, he squared up all accounts with them, paid the $500 they said was owed and done. For the last three days, he has been trying to get his medical records sent to the dentist's office. They said they would send him a form. They never sent it. Then he calls back the second day asking for the form, and they send it and say they will only send his x-rays. He needs ALL of his reports sent to the new dentist and they said they have a process. They send the x-rays, and then the rest of the reports after he signs a second form. Which doesn't make any sense and he's getting upset - as would anyone. He requests that they just send everything at once. They say they're going to call him back. They call him back and say he suddenly owes $1600 and they can't send the reports and x-rays until he pays that amount. This is illegal in the same of MA. We haven't received one invoice for this amount. he hasn't had work done in almost 2 years, so where did this number come from? They don't even have a reason/details on what this cost is for, but suddenly he has a huge bill to pay and they're holding his records hostage. They're saying they've been sending invoices to a home address that we haven't lived in over 5 years.
They're hearing from our lawyer and a news crew soon. How could one dentist office have so many bad reviews and billing issues? Sounds fishy to me and I'm sure hundreds of innocent patients are being scammed as I write this.
Dr. Abe, some random woman named Rana "who is in charge of billing", and Luann are the main conspirators. read more
