-- Painful experience, poor communication, and repeated reminders after cancellation…read more My wife and I visited Advanced Dentistry of Center City on September 15 for our first appointments, expecting routine dental cleanings. We both left uncomfortable, frustrated, and without receiving a cleaning. From the beginning, the visit felt rushed and poorly explained. The technician hurried from one place to another, quietly telling us to follow her without clearly explaining what was happening. We each underwent 18 individual dental X-rays. The process was extremely uncomfortable and, for me, painful enough that I nearly cried during the final images. My wife also found the experience painful. Neither of us had experienced dental X-rays being taken this way before. I also received a panoramic X-ray. When we contacted our insurer afterward, we were told it would not be covered because of the plan's three-year frequency restriction. We left facing a potential out-of-pocket expense that we had not expected. Dr. Batra told me I had no cavities and needed cleaning every three months because of my periodontal history. Having undergone periodontal and osseous surgery in March and recently moved from Texas, maintenance care was exactly why I was there. Nevertheless, no cleaning was performed. Instead, I was told I needed two crowns or risk losing two teeth. My wife was also told she needed two crowns, and she did not receive her cleaning either. We did not feel we received a clear explanation of the findings, treatment alternatives, or why the crowns were necessary. Scheduling the crown work felt assumed rather than discussed with us. The office arranged back-to-back cleaning and crown appointments for me on September 29 and appointments for my wife in October. We were told we would receive an insurance estimate, but it never arrived. After discussing the experience, we decided not to return. We called to cancel and obtained our X-rays after completing the required release form so we could seek another opinion. Despite cancelling, I continued receiving appointment reminders warning of a $50 missed-appointment fee. I called again and received written confirmation that the appointment was cancelled, with instructions to disregard automated messages. Yet the reminders continued, including a further reminder from the front desk about the supposedly cancelled appointment. My wife had to call again and leave another message. Painful X-rays, inadequate explanations, no cleaning for either of us, unexpected insurance concerns, and repeated reminders after a confirmed cancellation made this an extremely disappointing experience. We lost confidence in this practice and will not return.

Honestly, the best. Years ago, back in 2013, I sent my dad here on a Groupon to get a cleaning and…read morean idea of how much fixing up his teeth would cost. Dr. Fan sat with him and did many slides of x-rays and wrote out the skeletons of a comprehensive plan to tackle all the issues. My dad then had a separate health crisis and also spent some time abroad. Fast forward to end of 2018, my dad had been living under my care for two years, and I'm adamant he receives regular dental care. I wrestle him back here for a cleaning a month ago. We discover that an old dental bridge is teetering on the edge of collapse. Dr. Fan again devises a full plan that calls for the bridge to be taken out, two teeth removed, and dental implants. Upon learning the cost of such an undertaking, my dad starts to waffle. The day before his first appointment to start the implant process, he shows up to the clinic wanting to negotiate the price down. Dr. Fan took the time to explain to him what he was and wasn't being charged for (actually discounts), and why some materials cost what they do. Instead of being impatient or offended, Dr. Fan provided my dad actual medical advice and care, above and beyond what is required of him. All the front desk people and dental technicians are super nice and friendly. We had a mix-up about payment that was completely my doing. I ran right back after getting home, and in the probably half hour I was gone, they'd already taken all the steps they could on their end to hopefully help resolve the issue. They went through all that trouble even though it was totally not their fault. I have every confidence in the work Dr. Fan does, and I think the clinic is staffed with really caring and kind people. If I didn't have such anxiety that prevents me from "breaking up" with my own dentist, I'd come here myself. Wholeheartedly recommend.

Criminals. Stay away. Trust me…read more After our longtime dentist retired, we needed to find a new one. We chose Dr. Petchalonis because we wanted to support a local dentist within walking distance of our home. We were willing to forgo a sleek, modern office for the personalized care we expected from a sole practitioner. Unfortunately, we were completely wrong. This office is the epitome of mismanagement and poor communication. There's constant staff turnover, leading to frequent errors, including mismanaged appointments, incorrectly handled records, and improper billing. Worse, they perform unnecessary procedures and fail to provide clear information about insurance coverage. At my first appointment with Dr. Petchalonis, I was told I had multiple cavities that needed to be addressed, which was surprising since my previous dentist had found none. Despite my hesitation, the procedures were performed, and I was later billed thousands of dollars for work that my insurance didn't cover--without any prior notification. When I disputed the charges, they threatened to send me to collections. Dr. Petchalonis refused to even discuss the issue with me, claiming administrative matters were his staff's responsibility. Such predatory behavior is unacceptable. Avoid this office at all costs if you want to save yourself time, money, and frustration. There are far better, more ethical dental offices available.
