    Clean office, everyone is kind. However,my daughter asked about her wisdom teeth and if they were…read morecoming in and if they would be a problem and Dr. Paoli kind of pushed it off and now my daughters front teeth have shifted after having braces. Her teeth were perfectly straight after the braces so the shifting isn't that noticeable, but to any one that knows her it's noticeable. It's a shame to pay so much money to have perfect teeth and it gets ruined. It's also a shame how the removal of the teeth got pushed off until my daughters teeth already shifted, when she asked two years prior to the shifting, when she would need her teeth out.

    I took my 2-year old son to the dentist for a chipped tooth. I was informed that he had multiple…read morecavities and would need to be put under to have the teeth fixed and one of his teeth may even need to be pulled. I was informed that they could not schedule the procedure until the insurance was confirmed (approximately 1 month) and then another 2 months to have the procedure performed. After leaving the office, a day or two later it occurred to me that they never asked for my medical insurance card so I called and they stated that I could fax it over, which I did promptly. 3 weeks passed and I hadn't heard anything, so I called the office on a Monday. I was informed that the person who does it is only there on Wednesdays and that she would give me a call. She never called. I called back 10 days later and was informed (rudely) by a member of the office staff that the information was faxed over and it wasn't their fault that the Insurance hasn't gotten back to them. I inquired if they had followed up and she said that she didn't know, Molly (who I presume is the 1 day a week worker) wasn't there that day. I asked if the Insurance Company takes approximately 1 month, yet they were scheduling 2 months out, why we couldn't schedule since an answer would be returned from the Insurance Company weeks before the surgery and I never received an answer. She said that we had to wait for the Insurance Company. Furthermore, when I stated that I was obviously very unhappy with the lack of progress and the fact that I never received a call back from Molly, as promised, I was told that she's going to have the doctor call me because they run a very efficient office and that I'm being 'negative'. I am extremely frustrated with the office staff and their lack of compassion for the fact that my 2 year old has issues that are not going to get any better until they are taken care of. The only reason that I am putting 2 stars rather than 1 is because the Dental Hygienist who examined my son was absolutely wonderful with him. And the Dentist, Dr. Paoli, also called me to apologize for the lack of communication and unprofessionalism. I have since decided to take my son to a different pediatric dentist.

    want to express my deep concern about the traumatic experience my granddaughter, who is 4yrs old…read moreendured during her recent dental appointment at Smiles 4 Keeps in Scranton. They referred to this facility by her dentist. The appointment was scheduled for 11:00 a.m. My daughter believed she would be put to sleep for the procedure as she isn't comfortable around people she doesn't and doesn't like when the dentist touches her mouth. Instead my daughter informed when I walked in that they already went back and she was given Benadryl and she didn't know what was going on. This struck me as highly unusual. We then waited for two hours before any explanation. When I asked the hygienist, she said they needed X-rays first to develop a treatment plan and only one parent was allowed back. Her father and I sat back to wait for them. A little while after she texted and said that they were going to pull her tooth without general anesthesia. I was alarmed because Karmen fears the dentist and might not cooperate. When they finally came out of the room both were visibly upset. My daughter told me they used local anesthesia but also restrained her while she was crying and blood was smearing all over her face. She said the doctor wasnt comforting and looked annoyed at her response to trauma they were inflicting on her. When questioned, the hygienist said, "It's normal--kids act like this." Upon check-out, my daughter was told the co-payment was $238. After asking for clarification because it was private insurance the receptionist looked it over again and magically the bill was now $141.00. I told her I would pay half and that's it. I felt like after waiting three hours to have my granddaughter tortured was enough. The entire experience felt abusive, and the combination of restraint, lack of clear communication, emotional harm, and billing issues was deeply disturbing. I have since learned that Smiles 4 Keeps, like similar pediatric dental chains, receives the majority of its revenue from Medicaid rather than private insurance. This raises serious concerns that children from lower-income families--those least able to advocate for themselves--are being subjected to unnecessary, traumatic, and potentially unsafe procedures in order to generate profit. I also understand that Smiles 4 Keeps and related dental chains have been connected to lawsuits and public controversies in the past, including allegations of Medicaid fraud and abusive practices toward children. This isn't just about one bad visit. These chains have been in the news before, facing lawsuits for inhumane care such as extracting teeth without anthesia and adding noise barriers. Parents, please be careful where you take your children. And for those who've had similar experiences, speak up this type of abuse needs to stop.

    The Hazleton location charged me for services they did not provide, namely a cleaning and fluoride…read moretreatment. When I disputed it with the insurance the billing person from Smiles 4 Keeps claimed it was probably a clerical error and had someone from corporate call me to investigate. The person who called me stated that if the child is Autistic like my daughter the company considers even getting a toothbrush in the child's mouth a full dental cleaning. This seems like fraud. Hopefully I am not the only one reporting them for this.
