Left…read morepractice when dental hygienist tried to convince me I needed a $1500 deep cleaning as gums tender from chemo/radiation. Sought second opinion and glad I did! Recovered well with regular cleaning! Still wonder about the doctor's oversight of staff. Should the doctor not have reviewed and approved the recommended $1500 treatment? Another point of dissatisfaction has to do with billing. Paid in full ($3500) for Invisalign. Insurance, surprise, contributed $800, paid directly to Dr. Lothamer. Refused to refund the $800; had to use it as "credits" for teeth cleanings (I typically do not services beyond cleaning.) Guess that is one way to keep a client!

I came to Dr. Lothamer after reading good reviews about his dental work. I moved and needed a new…read moredentist and I had a cleaning and needed two other visits for filling replacements (that I already knew about) and I have no complaints and he does do good dental work. My problem with the office and one star review is that I was NEVER told by the rude receptionist (his wife) that they are out of network for my insurance (United Healthcare) and I was going to see Dr. Lothamer specifically for filling replacements that would cost me a lot of money out of pocket if they are out of network and I got a $700 bill after the work was done. I would have looked elsewhere for an in network dentist if the receptionist was upfront about being out of network. Long story short, his wife submitted the claims to my insurance incorrectly so that the entire claim check would be sent to our home instead of their office and we would have to deposit a check and then go and pay the dentist the entire claim amount. (I have never experienced this type of claim payment). The check was lost in the mail and I had to spend a lot of time on the phone with the insurance to reissue the lost check. While communicating this to the receptionist that it will be about 30-60 days until the insurance mails a $2,500 check, she tells me that I better pay immediately or I will be sent to collections or small claims court. I do not have the funds to pay the total claim amount and it was 100% her fault for filing the claim incorrectly in the first place and my personal amount owed I was $700. I'm not one to complain or leave bad reviews but the receptionist was very defensive, rude, and screamed on the phone and then said "we will see you in small claims court" and hung up. I did read reviews of how awful the receptionist was but didn't think much of it because she isn't the dentist and only handles the scheduling and accounting. Please understand that I am an even keeled person and the receptionist is very defensive and blame shifts and appears to be very narcissistic about taking accountability for her mishandling of my claim and I will now be searching for an in network office. Dr. Lothamer is great but his wife (receptionist) is awful!

He works knowledgeably with insurance coverage and provides first-rate service. Dr. Kolini does the serious cleaning himself, though his helpful staff handles the polishing and flossing.

Bad dental care when I was a child has left me with issues about dentists in general. Dr. Kolini is one of the few dentists with whom I've felt really comfortable. I recommend him unhesitatingly.

I had just been to my longtime dentist in may, and had had X-rays done at that time, so I knew my teeth were in good shape and I just needed cleanings. Lala insisted I get a full new X-ray panel that I had to pay $200 for. And after an hour in the chair I asked if we'd be doing the cleaning. The dentist came in and told me I had 3 cavities and deep gum pockets and ultimately wouldn't do a cleaning and gave me a referral to a periodontist. That didn't feel right so I left. After posting a review about this experience the office manager called and offered to refund the amount of the X-rays, which I would have been reimbursed through my hsa anyway, to take down my review, which I agreed to, and which is why I give the two stars. I upgraded my insurance plan to the regular ppo plan and went to Montclair dental. X-rays were covered and after about 10 minutes the dentist came in and told me my teeth and gums both looked great. They did the cleaning and told me they'd see me in 6 months. I suspect the dentists under the USA plan have to find other ways to generate income, and highly recommend paying the higher premium for legitimate dentists where you will ultimately get better care and pay less in the end.

I was escorted to what I thought was a very sophisticated and pricey X-ray machine, then had a vey very quick exam, and even quicker cleaning which I felt not very clean. Mind you I was charged extra because it was a "periodontal cleaning". I have insurance which is supposed to cover cleaning and X-Rays, still I paid over 200 out of pocked. I still got a bill for more money this week. I guess that based on the great Yelp reviews, they had an off day. I will be requesting my very expensive X-rays and will be back on the hunt for a new Dentist. My gosh, it is so hard to find a good place.
