I've been a patient for many years with Welcome Smiles however there's been a big change in their…read morecommunication and care for their patients recently, to the point where this is my first ever review. It's at the point where I will be switching to another provider. The most recent issues are as follows. Due to an infection I was told I needed a root canal. The procedure was performed by an outside provider and the experience was horrible. At no point did that dentist seem to care about my discomfort and anxiety. After completing that procedure I was told I needed a crown. They never informed me ahead of time that I would need that. As I was checking out I was told, " of course, whenever you have a root canal you need a crown"! No consideration was given to inform me of this before the root canal so I could plan accordingly. Understand that both of these procedures are expensive (even with insurance). I then go ahead with the crown appointment. As the dentist begins the procedure I question why he's working on a different tooth. This is when I'm told that the tooth I had the root canal worked on already had a crown on it and that the tooth he was currently working on needed a crown. Shouldn't I have been told during scheduling that the crown was for a different tooth? I most likely would have chosen to pay off one procedure before scheduling the next procedure since it wasn't an emergency. Shortly after going through all this I then receive a phone call from the dentist himself, asking if I'd like to set up work on another tooth!! In all the years I've been going to a dentist, never has the dentist contacted me directlv about future procedures! This is when I feel this dental office has become more about getting money from patients than their care and needs. Fast forward to my most recent appointment. I'm scheduled for a replacement crown (the one I had cracked). I was told to plan on an hour and a half. This dentist makes the crown in their office so I was made aware that there would be about a half hour or so that I would be waiting for it to made. However, as I Wait and Wait and Wait, I can hear my dentist working on another patient in the next room. He finally comes back to me to finish. It was now 3 HOURS LATER!!! RIDICULOUS!!! At no point during this time did an assistant or the dentist check in with me or give me an explanation. It was as if I didn't exist!! It sure seems like he's double dipping to make more money by scheduling one patient between another patient! I guess he doesn't feel my TIME is worth anything!! WRONG. I will be moving on to a provider that genuinely cares and communicates clearly with their patients. I would think twice before going to this office!

Horrible. I've been coming here for many years, along with my family. It's gone down hill fast…read moresince Dr. Gusar retired. Recently I had a cracked molar that needed a root canal. Neither dentist in this practice can perform a root canal, which is obviously subpar. So I needed to wait 3 weeks to get the procedure from a visiting endodontist they contract with, who only works there half a day every other week. I suffered for 3 weeks and was not offered any pain control other than ibuprofen. Meanwhile I developed a big abscess which caused even more pain. When I finally had the procedure, it was intensely painful due to the abscess, which makes lidocaine less effective. Afterwards there was again no pain medication offered, just advice to take ibuprofen which is totally inadequate. I also was told to get the tooth crowned or capped as soon as possible or it might crack more and need removal. But guess what? The soonest appointment they could give me for that was 2 weeks out. I've spent many tens of thousands of dollars at this practice over the years, in cash, but this is it for me. Moving on. Never again. When you need them, they aren't there for you.

I must preface the following by saying that I do not take relaying this type of info lightly. & it is not based on assumptions or rumors, interpretations or misunderstandings. The following is based on indisputable FACTS. Great Expressions Dental in Auburn. They've blatantly LIED on numerous occasions on various things. Claims. Billing. Procedures. I had been going to them since Sept. as a result of an emergency dental situation, & had gone to them several times thereafter. I never had an issue prior to this. I need(ed) extensive dental surgery. In January I had a consult with the oral surgeon, who stated I needed 2 bone grafts before other procedures could be done. My jawbone was "in good shape, just too narrow for implants." On that day (& on prior visits) I had been reassured by several people (dentist, billing clerks) that mostly everything would be covered. Remember that. Then on that same visit I was given an itemized printout of what I would owe, (out of pocket) - IF for some unforeseen reason my insurance denied my claim(s) for my pending surgery etc. Over 10 grand. I booked the appointment & checked with them periodically to see if they had heard from my insurance agency. "No, not yet." Then the DAY BEFORE MY SURGERY they called to tell me it was denied - & that I would need to pay the FULL AMOUNT the day of my surgery, regardless of the fact that I would only have a portion of the work needed to be done on that day - in order to proceed. THE DAY BEFORE. (Totally premeditated.) Shocked & in disbelief, I still kept the appt. I called my insurance agency right after that to let them know that I would file an appeal - & was told G.E. NEVER FILED A CLAIM FOR MY SURGERY or for other pending procedures. I immediately called my dentist's office - & literally had so much smoke blown up my ass - that I bet my lungs had actually turned black. The manager I had spoken with immediately took a defensive stance - & said my insurance carrier "recently changed their guidelines" & they knew that what needed to be done wouldn't be covered. So they never filed. Then a minute later she said "& when we submitted it, & it was denied..." I said hold up! You JUST SAID that you did not even file a claim, so how could it have been denied...if you never filed it????? SILENCE. I followed that up with - & when I've called to check if you've heard from my insurance, I was repeatedly told "not yet." I caught her in several more lies, which rendered her speechless again. THEN she said how they treat 50-60 patients a day, & that they just "don't have time" to file claims for everyone. I investigated further & called my insurance agent - & was told that they did not change anything to my policy, no guidelines were updated & if anything had in fact changed - I would've received a letter in the mail. Manager at G.E. tried to smooth things over with me by saying she would file the claims for me immediately. Too little too late. Cancelled surgery & let them know I'd be taking my business elsewhere. Totally disgusted. Thee most deceitful & unethical people I've ever dealt with in my entire life.

In my case, my salivary glands became underachievers as a result of a medication I was prescribed. The number of cavities I got began to increase. But, as one of the hygienists put it, "it's our job to educate, not to judge." The hygienists were more than willing to teach how to protect my teeth. Swishing with water after eating; reducing sugar in the diet; showing me how to improve flossing and brushing techniques, and suggesting products (with coupons) that keep the mouth moist improved things nicely. As a result, I had fewer cavities. Plus, I lost fifteen pounds in eight months, and my A1C level is lower. Dentistry is truly important for the whole body. Thank you Grace Family Dental.
