I haven't done Yelp before, but feel I will do this post. I am not returning to Dr. Meta's office for dental care, but I remain on the same dental medical plan and have sought care elsewhere. Dr. Meta and her staff are extremely nice. But her office lacks the digital technology to x-ray teeth and enlarge those images to help determine the health of the teeth. She also doesn't show you what she finds on those tiny x-ray films. By not having access to digital technology, I believe she lacks the full ability to determine the true health of the teeth and bones and it's too easy to start pushing multiple crowns on patients.
I slowly grew tired of: (1) getting too much water on me during her cleanings, (2) constantly telling me I needed multiple crowns and don't wait to have them done-- some I had done, but it got to the point I felt I was being pressured into crowns I might not need; (3) the receptionist was unable to schedule an appointment because the dentist would not allow her to purchase the 2018 appointment books; and (4) Dr. Meta yelling to the front receptionist (who sits in front of waiting clients) to prepare an estimate involving my teeth and the exact work needed --I really wanted this dentist to provide more privacy involving my dental care and I don't want other patients to hear everything. I also want to feel my dentist is fully professional in every way, from cleanings to privately advising staff of my needed care, to scheduling appointments, instead of starting to let professionalism and patient care slide.
In seeing a new dentist, and exploring the enlarged digital x-rays, he found I don't need crowns at all, but do need 2 fillings. That's a HUGE PRICE DIFFERENCE in the amount of money paid. Plus this new doctor talked to me about my mouth bone health, which he showed me on his x-rays was very good. After seeing this other dentist, I have come away feeling like Dr. Meta was pushing expensive crowns on my teeth that I didn't need because as her receptionist once said, they don't make any money off the cleanings and fillings.
I will not return to Dr. Meta and I wish her the best. read more
