The staff acted like both dentists were interchangeable, both excellent, so it didn't really matter which I chose. My first cleaning and exam were great. When I made my next follow-up, prior to leaving my initial exam, I asked to be scheduled with the other dentist. I thought they were a tag team. BIG MISTAKE. I suppose I got labeled as not liking the first dentist, which was an incorrect assumption on behalf of the staff. My next cleaning and exam were both awkward and uncomfortable.

I kindly asked the lady who called me back for X-rays can they use the X-rays that I've taken in the last weeks from OTHER DENTIST and she told me they were "different" without making it fully clear how. My worries of radiation exposure throughout the last 30days from dentist xrays were kind of bothering me and she didn't help me feel better. Spewing the same thing all xray people say "yOUr pHonE GIveS oFF mOrE raDIation". The thing about it is, These people goto college to get a degree and still don't understand ionizing radiation vs NON ionizing radiation. A phone and a xray have TWO COMPLETELY DIFFERENT types of radiation. When ionizing radiation interacts with cells, it can cause damage to the cells. ESPECIALLY if your constantly exposed, Which they OBVIOUSLY understand since they're taught to run and hide behind a wall during every Xray. Of course I didn't make a big deal of it or say any of this. I kept my mouth closed & took the X-rays but she obviously was annoyed with me even asking what the difference between my dentist X-rays and theirs were. As if I don't have a right to ask questions. Your gonna be digging in peoples mouth but if you get frustrated with simple questions that you SHOULD have answers to, you should probably work in a different profession. Some people don't ask questions and some do. A patient lr customer Shouldn't have to feel shamed or stupid because a worker doesn't feel like explaining or is tired of explaining. The fish tank in the lobby was cool though.

Upon being told we were in network and having several appointments scheduled and attended we received a bill and told we were in fact not in network and would be sent to collections if not paid. I would never go to a medical office let alone make follow ups if I was told we were out of network. They continued to schedule more appointments and see me as a patient without ever informing that we were out. When I argued this they said it is on us to see if we were in network and that we shouldn't just go by what THE DENTIST OFFICE TELLS YOU. So basically don't trust what they tell you because you may receive a bill two months later.

But based on how rude the front desk person is, I'm choosing to take my business elsewhere. There are plenty of other dentists in the area to choose from. I'd recommend you shop around and see how they treat you at the front desk. It's very telling of how your experience will be from there forward. Unfortunately I've seen these kind of people before and they make the experience terrible. The front desk woman at this place is one of those fantastic non-educated, class-lacking rude people that you see all those hilarious IG videos about them (like the people that work at the DMV, the post office, and medical offices). The kind of employees that think they are god and can make all the rules for how your experience will go. If you dare to challenge their archaic practices (like them REFUSING to help you get a copy of your proper dentist's records -- most practices will help you via a form they send to your old doc to request your record, you just need to sign off on the release form), the rude way they talk to you, the ridiculous hoops for you to jump through, you are seen as a "miserable person" and they will call you such in their response to your review. Lol if I was a guy challenging the way this front desk lady operated, I would be seen as "attempting to set better business practices" by calling out the poor experience. But since I'm a woman, naturally the "powers that be" at this place paint me as a Karen. Whatever. I'm glad to be a Karen if it means I can call out this place for having a horribly unhelpful, rude, and miserable front desk person. I'm sitting here enjoying the hilarious IG videos that depict this same person and how she treats patients. If you are considering going to this office, be prepared. If you are ok with being treated this way, more power to you. For me? I'll go elsewhere and find somewhere that has a skilled, educated, polite front desk person that respects clients and doesn't treat them like they are disposable.

I went to this office in July 2025 as a new patient. Prior to that, it had been several years since…read moreI had been to the dentist, but I had been paying for dental insurance and decided it was time to finally address my dental work. Scheduling was easy, and when I arrived the environment was welcoming and professional. Everyone was friendly and understanding. However, before any work started, I was told that my insurance "wasn't very good" and would not cover much of the treatment. Since I hadn't dealt with dental insurance in years, I trusted what I was being told. They presented me with paperwork before treatment. At the time, I believed it was a billing statement rather than an estimate. Based on that understanding, I agreed to the recommended work and paid over $750 out of pocket that same day. We also discussed a larger treatment plan moving forward. Because I had not been to a dentist in years, I assumed the costs were normal. Later, after speaking with friends who had similar dental work done for significantly lower copays, I started questioning whether I had paid far more than expected. I still initially gave the office the benefit of the doubt because the staff had been nice and I believed I needed the work anyway. After speaking with other dental offices, I learned that my insurance is actually considered a strong dental plan and that my out-of-pocket costs appeared much higher than what many offices would have charged. At that point, I canceled the extensive treatment plan and decided to seek another provider for major dental work. Fast forward to May 2026: I returned only for a routine cleaning that I knew was 100% covered by my insurance. During that visit, I was informed that I had a credit on my account. This surprised me because nobody had ever contacted me to explain that I had overpaid or that a credit existed. I told the dental assistant that I only wanted services fully covered by my insurance. Instead, I was repeatedly encouraged to continue with additional deep cleaning/root scaling work and "touch-up" work from the previous visit -- despite no hygienist or dentist having examined my mouth yet that day. I again stated that I only wanted what was fully covered and that I wanted my credit refunded. I was then told the refund process could take up to four months, even though the amount was only around $340. During this interaction, I honestly felt confused and pressured. At one point, the dental assistant incorrectly stated that I had only paid around $376 out of pocket during my previous visit. It was only after I pulled up my bank transaction on my phone that a printed receipt was produced confirming I had actually paid over $750. I also felt like it was being implied that other dental offices would not want to treat me because root scaling had already been started. The assistant repeatedly stated that a regular cleaning would "do nothing" and referred to it as "just polishing." I specifically asked for clarification to make sure I was still allowed to see another dentist for a standard cleaning, and eventually she confirmed there was no legal or insurance issue preventing me from doing so. Ultimately, because I declined additional root scaling treatment, they refused to perform any cleaning at all that day, stating they believed a general cleaning would be ineffective. When I questioned why I had apparently overpaid during my original visit, I was told that insurance ended up covering more than expected and that the original paperwork I thought was a bill was actually only an estimate. I requested my refund along with copies of my dental records and treatment plan. Oddly, I could not receive the treatment plan the same day and was told I would need to formally request it with my records. I'm not commenting on the quality of the dental work itself, and I will say the office environment is clean and welcoming. However, based on my experience, I strongly encourage anyone visiting this office to fully understand their dental insurance beforehand and carefully review all paperwork before agreeing to treatment or making payments. Specifically, ask whether the paperwork you are signing is an estimate or a final bill, and ask whether there is any possibility you could later discover you overpaid.
