    3 weeks ago I went to the Hazleton office & paid the $29.00 for people with no insurance…read more At check in I was told they don't have change & thankfully another patient asked if I needed change & was kind enough to me change. That same person that gave me change was in & out within minutes & stopped at the front desk on his way out & said I drove 1hr to get here because I was told my tooth would be extracted & the dentist said they can't do it today. I got my x-rays & exam. While there I heard nothing but people told they need a root canal. I knew what I was going to be told. The dentist came in & did some testing as to why I'm having pain by tapping (Which I had NO pain). They used super cold stuff that hurt on other teeth & the dentist said on the tooth hurting you with hot do you feel any pain? I said no. The dentist said your tooth is dead & you need a root canal. At checkout I was presented with a $3,336.00+ cost for the root canal, & crown. Root canals fail & cause infection. Any good, honest dentist & endodontist knows that a root canal only cleans the roots out & can NOT clean out the 3 million tiny pathways which harbor the bacteria & leads to a low grade infection in the entire body. Watch some honest dentists on YT. 3 weeks later my wife's filling cracked. We went back & at check in we were told we don't have change so we can apply the balance left to your account but we said we brought the correct amount. The receptionist was very surprise after her long wind speech (What business does NOT have change? And how is that when others pay with cash there is NO change? First RED FLAG). During are check in another female was aside us that had insurance & was told she needed to pay $46.00 for the fluoride paste that the insurance won't cover. The female asked is that necessary & was told I'll have to check. While my wife filled her questions out another lady checked in & she had insurance but the receptionist gave her a hard time about the insurance & the lady seemed to get it straightened out. My wife was called back & a hygienist came in followed by young thin blonde hair dentist that seemed not very nice. She looked at the x-rays & the 3D scan then said to my wife you need a root canal & a deep cleaning for periodontal disease (Something my wife disclosed on her new patient check in do to having a graph over 25 years ago) my wife spoke up & said I don't want a root canal as I was told in the past by an endodontist that bacteria still lives in the dead tooth in the millions of paths ways that they can't clean out & causes infection & with my wife's immune system she recommends extraction only. At this point the young dentist seemed to get attitude after my wife questioned more. Then young dentist said while then extraction is your only option but you have bone loss & the periodontal disease needs to be treated (Which we both understand) but what we can't understand & what was not answered is why after all the past x-rays from dentists we seen over the years for cleanings & general oral healthcare not one brought this to our attention? We asked how much & were told like I was on checkout you'll be told at check out. At checkout you feel like you're dealing with a car salesman. No words expect for the dentist said this & then shown a tablet with a whooping $3,500.00+ bill. Then the nonsense about finance is available if you can't afford it. It's not about not being able to afford it but like they're robbing you! My wife was then asked when would she like to make the appointment? We asked for a breakdown of the billing after hearing this absurd price at which point the look on the lady' face said "I'm getting disgusted with all these questions". Aspen Dental will get you in quick, take your cash not give change (What business does NOT have change & how is that when others pay with cash), make you feel like you're going to get good honest care & then slap you EVERYTIME with over $3K in fees & talk about financing like you're buying a car! Best part the dentist will NOT make you a partial until you get your teeth cleaned but will do the deep cleaning before you get your extraction! WTH? Are you serious? Deep cleaning equal bacteria & I really need this tooth extracted as it's down to the gum! So the bacteria isn't a big deal & I can still get my tooth extracted ASAP? LOL The letters after your name do NOT make you smarter or above me. You walk out $29.00 lighter in your wallet, WASTED time, miles, & gas feeling like you just got ripped off! Do NOT go to ANY Aspen Dental clinic. They are there to help you lighten your wallet ONLY! It's for the desperate & a civil or class action suit should be & hopefully will be about against Aspen Dental for their unethical business practices! I STRONGLY recommend reporting Aspen Dental to the BBB & Attorney General!

    In my 60 yrs of living this is the worst experience I have ever had with a business. This is an…read moreunethical "for profit only" franchise dentist. They do not care about the patients..they are simply a number and dollar signs to them. My son's implant fell out..they gave me a supposed refund after months and months of battles..then they recharged me the whole procedure through billing looking for an insurance pay out that they believe belongs to them. Stay far far away from them..travel 6 hrs if you have to..to go somewhere else. 1 year later and I'm still in their tangled web of deceitful billing.

    Crazy, but understandable, that I've never thought to crown my dentist king on Google. I mean, no…read moreneed to look elsewhere, compare offices or sift through reviews. I suppose I was born into this; my family has been going to Back Mountain Dental through a few name changes and the tenure of the previous dentist, so I've been lucky to have excellent dental care with a neighborhood-oriented staff. For instance, on my last visit alone, they saved me time, money and the frustration of anesthesia by salvaging part of a previous filling and not applying a product once we discussed more of my symptoms. No upselling, easy-to-understand and work with billing procedures, and the superpower to figure out any changes in your insurance with minimal effort (even though you put your new card in a 'safe' place). They treat you like family, but not the ones who are always running late; these guys stick to their schedule. And one added note, as one of my friends mentioned dreading their upcoming trip to their dentist: I think 'chairside' manner might be thrown to the wolves when considering dentistry, it seems optional. Doctor DeFinnis is as "cool as the other side of the pillow" when it comes to explaining things and helping you feel comfortable, relaxed, and optimistic about your plan, which isn't the norm, I guess. They'll encourage you to floss, have personalized recommendations and helpful suggestions but operate in a judgement-free zone. So next time you bust a cap, hit up Back Mountain Dental to get you back on track.

    To say I am petrified of the dentist would be an understatement. I am 22 years old and after about…read more5 years of avoiding the dentist, I started to have severe pain and ended up having to schedule an emergency appointment. Back Mtn Dental was recommended to me and I am so grateful that it was! As someone who suffers from severe dental anxiety, I can confidently say the staff is beyond friendly and genuinely cares about your well being. They make my appointments much more enjoyable and tolerable despite the extensive work I've had done over the past two months. The assistants are so sweet and reassuring. Dr. DeFinnis is wonderful, I have had no post appointment issues and he has saved a few of my teeth from needing root canals. I highly recommend scheduling an appointment with them!
