Just recently I've been getting notifications from this dentist to say that I owe money, which is false and really ballsy considering the experience I had in her office.
Years and years ago (12 years ago), I went to Dr. Aharon because I had just moved to the area and had begun working as a contractor. I had to pay out-of-pocket for dental insurance, so it seemed there were few that actually accepted Delta Dental (HMO). That said, I found her online and she was close. I had no idea that there could be such incompetence when it came to insurance accredited practitioners. Boy, was I wrong.
I will never forget this as long as I live, as it was a traumatizing experience. First of all, the day I came in, she had no dental hygienists. I came in for a cleaning and a checkup. She apologizes and tells me, she'll do it along with the exam. She puts me in a room that is in need of cleaning and some updates. It hardly felt like a sterile environment.
Next, this guy walks in (in just standard business casual wear) and begins asking me questions from my new patient questionnaire. He seems like he has no idea what he's doing. He puts on gloves. At one point while asking me questions, he sticks his fingers in my mouth without much warning at all. He carries on using the gloves to write things down, then goes to put his fingers back in my mouth. WHAT? I don't even believe he was a trained dental assistant or anything. Super unsanitary.
All this to say, Dr. Aharon came in, did a pretty quick job at "cleaning" my teeth. The whole time she is in my mouth, she is trying to tell me that I probably have sleep apnea. She attempts multiple times to get me to rent some machine from her. It was the most bizarre doctor visit I'd ever had, to say the least.
When she tells me I have two cavities and goes to schedule an appointment to fill them, I tell her I'll call to make that appointment. As I'm going out the door, she's still trying to get me to rent some sleep apnea testing equipment. Good grief. And there was no way I was letting this woman fill cavities!
I paid my copays, but I never came back. Luckily, I found another dentist who was super sympathetic and helpful, willing to give me an exam and cleaning for the price of my copays, even though Dr. Aharon used up my insurance's allotment.
Have you seen this lady's reviews on every platform? I was hoping this was experience was some sort of fluke or off day, but it looks like she shouldn't even be practicing. I even called Delta Dental about her when this happened. Anyway, the fact that she has the nerve to say I owe money? After that experience? After all these years? For a "cleaning" when she had no hygienists there? Wow. This lady might have more problems than being a bad dentist. read more
