Hello I had my Wisdom teeth removed at James blocks office and James block himself pulled out my…read morewisdom teeth evreything was ok at first after a couple of days I had Extreme high fever. I also got and infection overall all of this was really stressful and i am still suffiring from the pain If your the person that wants a good dentist James block is not the one and I would say to evreybody to avoid JAMES BLOCK because it is a horror movie after he has done something to you he is a cursed doctor and to say the truth FUCK him I wish he gets the same kind of care he provided me overall I would say if you don't want to go through a lot of pain and stress avoid JAMES BLOCK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and if you have any appoitments with him cancel them as soon as possible !!!!!!!!!! YOU WON'T REGRET IT !!!!!!!!!! If I could I would Give James Block 0 STARS.

Dr. Block was friendly but that's is as far as it goes. After he performed UNNECESSARY surgery on…read moremy mouth I ended up with not 1, not 2 but THREE major infections. I spent MONTHS recovering from his !@#@$ work. I ended up with three different abcesses in my mouth, on antibiotics for weeks and then IV antibiotics for several weeks after that. 9 months later I continued to have problems with the area he destroyed. I had a root canal that did not help so finally this summer a wonderful surgeon removed my tooth. I am now left with NO tooth right in front of my mouth (my eye tooth #11). I had to spend $3000 extra to fix his poor work. I had to have additional surgery, tooth removal, a $600 oral appliance to wear for 6 months before i go back in and spend another $2k to have a dental implant placed. When I arrived at Dr. Blocks office the staff did nothing to ensure that risk of infection was minimized. My new oral surgeon had me rinse with an oral antibacterial rinse right before the surgery, for 2 weeks after and oral antibiotics. I was sent home with pain meds, antibiotics and the oral wash. NON of which were provided by Dr. Blocks office. Their finance department that is supposed to obtain prior authorizations for procedures lied to me as well. They told me that my medical insurance would cover the procedure but low an behold they didnt! I have been fighting with a collection agency for several months now for the remaining balance of $570 to Dr. Block as I do not feel I should have to pay this because of all of the pain and suffering I went through. The finance department hung up on me when I explained my situation and how upset I was, instead of trying to resolve it like an adult. I would highly suggest you steer as far away from Dr. Block and his team as possible!

Found out late afternoon Thursday I needed to have a molar extracted as it was border line…read moreemergency case. Found this place as in network. Was able to get in on the following day which is no small feat. I was seen by Dr Newell. I discussed my concerns about my swelling and my airway closing. After careful examination he agreed that in my case it would be better handled in a clinical setting. He admitted me to North Memorial Hospital where he had me on advanced antibiotics and pain meds overnight. He wasn't even on call the following Saturday but came in and extracted my tooth while placing me under anesthesia. This gave me piece of mind regarding my airway not closing because of the raging infection. He then came back that evening at 9:30 to visit, discharge and explain to me again how everything went as he knew I was out of it when I first woke up and probably didn't catch half of what he said. He was right, I didn't . Again he could have stayed with his family on a Saturday night but took the time to see his only patient and discharge me. Pure class. I highly recommend Dr Newell for his skill but more importantly for his personal attention where in todays medicine can be hard to find. Thank you Dr Newell.

Let me start off by saying, I understand that based on zip codes, insurance amounts can and often…read moredo differ. Regardless of this fact, Northern Star is absolutely taking advantage of their clients and overcharging on all fronts and the photos- the first one being an estimate from a VIRAL consultation with northern star on August 14th, 2020, and the second photo being from an In-person consultation I just had today with Dakota Valley in Burnsville- pretty much speak for themselves. As you can see from the first photo, Northern Star wanted to code two of my lower wisdom teeth as 'completely bony impacted'. I don't claim to be a dentist or claim to have the knowledge an oral surgeon has, but 'completely bony impacted', if you look it up, literally simply means "a tooth is completely inside of the bone and has not erupted through the gum," as in, it is not able to be seen in the mouth..... both of my lower wisdom teeth that they were claiming were "completely bony impacted" were visible in my mouth and had erupted through the gums. Another very questionable aspect was the fact that northern star tried to tell me that my four wisdom teeth would take 45 mins to 1 hr to extract, which meant they would get to charge me for a whole lot more for general anesthesia. The place I just had a consultation today told me, max, the entire procedure will take FIFTEEN MINUTES, because both the top teeth were a simple extraction and the bottom two, one was surgical completely erupted and the other is surgical partially bony. Northern Star mistook me for a young, naive 25 year old who wouldn't be bothered to do my own research or question what they were coding my wisdom tooth extraction as, which in essence, would've meant I would be getting charged ALOT more. Oh well- they lost a client and maybe this review will make them think twice about trying to FRAUDULENTLY miscode in order to overcharge unassuming clientele. DO YOUR RESEARCH.
