I got in the same day for a group-on deal for a cleaning and exam. After the quick cleaning, I saw Dr. Matievich for 2 minutes and he told me I had a cavity in one of my front teeth then ushered me to his employee who does the scheduling and billing. Feeling rushed, she told me it would be $175.00 dollars for what I was told was a small cavity and that I could come back in very soon.
When I told her I didn't have dental insurance I asked how much blue cross dental insurance pays for the same procedure. She looked it up and told me $130 dollars. Needless to say, they wouldn't take 130 dollars from me to fill the cavity.
I requested my records that they are required to provide me. I still have not received them after two weeks. I sought a second opinion and today was told I have NO CAVITIES AT ALL my teeth are in very good condition.
I AM GLAD I DIDN'T GET THE $175 FILLING THAT I DIDNT NEED! read more
