I have never felt this comfortable at a dentist before. I've had a fear of dentistry since I was…read morevery young due to having a lot of dental work done, and this experience was truly different. The kindness, patience, and genuine care I received made all the difference and completely put me at ease. Dr Farag went above and beyond, even offering to stay late to make sure everything was taken care of, which speaks volumes about his character and dedication to his patients. I am incredibly grateful for the care I received and cannot recommend this practice highly enough.

Total Rip-off Smile Design, they wanted to charge me $150 for an Agingivectomy that my insurance…read moreclearly covers at no cost to me. Come to find out, they charged me that $150 on another occasion in the past, basically double-dipping by charging the insurance and me. When I questioned it with the practice manager, Jacqulyn Mullarkey, I was told basically they did not care what my insurance company says, this was the way their corporation does business, and as a matter of fact, they charged me yet another time for a total of two double-dipping, then I was told to have a nice day. Blatantly unprofessional. I filed a grievance with the insurer. Avoid this company unless you want to be overcharged and treated like the only thing that matters is your money.

New patient visit: This was a frustrating experience from start to finish. My wife was seen past…read moreher appointment time, and no one acknowledged or apologized for the delay. During the visit, they immediately pushed a deep cleaning for my wife and I that would cost hundreds of dollars instead of the routine cleaning covered by our dental insurance. It felt more like an upsell than a necessity, especially since this wasn't clearly explained. On top of that, they claimed I needed a crown--something my previous dentists have never mentioned. That raised concerns about whether the recommendations were truly necessary. Overall, the lack of transparency, poor communication, and focus on expensive treatments left me with very little trust. We will not be returning. At the end of the day, we spent $104 for X-rays for nothing. On the plus side, the X-Ray Technician was pleasant and efficient.

I wish i had before I went there. i went in for a regular annual dental visit--checkup, xrays, cleaning--which i thought would be a breeze as I had no problems with my teeth. The dentist, named Katz, informed me that I needed a deep cleaning immediately, since i had periodontal disease. i said I didn't think I did. She told me my teeth were going to fall out and my bone had receded so much that they would not be able to save or replace my teeth. i was really scared b/c I had been told by relatives and friends that the procedure was very painful. in the end i agreed to let them do it. i kept asking the front desk employees how long it would take and was told 1 hour to an hour and a half. I was greatly relieved when the dental hygienist worked on my teeth for only 20 minutes without using any pain killer at all--and it didn't hurt at all! She the called in the dentist, who walked in, looked at my teeth for 30 seconds, declared she has never seen cleaner teeth, and walked out. i was confused, but SO relieved. A couple days later, I called my sister and asked her why she ad warned me this was going to be a long and painful process. When I told her it felt just like a normal regular cleaning that is usually free to me with my insurance, she said there is no way you got a deep cleaning if you got no novocaine yet experienced no pain, it was performed by the hygienist and not a dentist, and it only took 20 minutes. Then I called my brother, who has been a dentist in another state for more than 40 years and who has performed deep cleaning for periodantal disease countless times. He verified for me that I had certainly not gotten a deep cleaning. Then there is the matter of what I was charged for this phony procedure--they charged my credit cards over $1600 and billed my insurance another $1900. They tried to get about $3500 for a procedure that should cost a total of $1200- up to $1500 depending on the degree of the problem. i say "tried" b/c i have since called my credit cards and put a stop payment on them and filed a formal dispute. in addition, I called my insurance, who put a hold on paying them and is also conducting a fraud investigation. Next--I'm turning them into Medicare fraud and contacting the dental board for my state. People!! I see from Yelp that many have had the same experience that I did with Aspen, and for years judging by the dates on the complaints, but you didn't inform authorities! these people should not be in practice--and you should call out fraud or they won't be stopped. The icing on the cake for this episode--I called Aspen to inform them I was turning them in, and Devin at the front desk said "We worked on you for 4 hours". Astounding the depth and shamelessness of lying here. Please--even if this happened way in the past--call and complain to authorities. Insurance fraud costs the public billions every year. do your part to stop it. Mary H

I lost a filling 3 days before leaving on a month long vacation in July and was able to get in the next day, this was so appreciated and I am thankful I was able to get in.

I highly recommend them to anyone, especially those that may havw had bad experiences in the past, you will find this practice very welcoming and kind and work with you through any issues in the chair.

I cannot say enough great things about Dr. Menedez and his team! I had 5 crowns and 4 old amalgam…read morefillings replaced over several appointments. Trust me it was allot of technical work, not allot of fun but best part, NO PAIN! I have never had so much work done at once with no discomfort. I now have very natural looking crowns as opposed to the old oversized ones showing the black edges, no ugly fillings either and no more toxic metal in me. But back to Dr. Menedez, he is very personable, explains everything happening, he takes the time to let you ask questions, he does not rush through your appointment, the way all doctors should be! Dr. Menedez seems to be very up to date on current procedures and new technology used in dentistry. You can be confident you are getting the best modern day care. His equipment is very cutting edge and the office is spotless! The support staff are out of this world! Always friendly on the phone and at the office. They are super kind and helpful in all aspects from setting appointments to the payment. I never had to wait more than a minute to start my appointment, I really appreciate them valuing my time as well! Additionally my husband needed an emergency appointment and they were able to accommodate him the same day as well as send him to an oral surgeon for more care, again the same day! Dr. Menedez and his team are truly one-in-a-million dentistry office! I would give them 10 stars!
