If I could rate this dentist office negative stars I would. Every single communication and experience I had here was negative and absolutely not professional. It began on the day of my first appointment. As the kind woman was giving me x-rays she had to go in the other room to find a wire I believe. I have never heard a person being belittled so badly in my entire life. The dental assistant carried on and on about how "not smart" she was. "Open your eyes! Can't you even see? Be a big girl, come on, you can do it." I felt so bad for this woman I actually asked her if she was okay and how often this happened. She was utterly embarrassed and referred to herself as a saint (which I agree she is) for having to put up with this everyday. Momentarily a fight broke out in the main lobby because the practice charged a man for services he didn't know he had to pay for. The yelling and carrying on could be heard through out the entire office for 15 minutes.) however, I have no prior knowledge on what happened and therefor could not form an opinion of the situation. The kind woman unfortunately who did my ex rays did them all incorrectly (which took about 45 minutes) because she was so flustered about being yelled at for so long. When the dentist came in to look at them, she was very confused. Every picture of every took was scattered on the page. Fast forward to my next visit. I was given 2 texts reminders, 2 phone calls and talked to the dental office confirming AGAIN the morning of my visit. 45 minutes before my visit I was called abs told the dentist had an energy and we would have to reschedule. After telling them I confirmed this appointment 5 times the receptionist left abs came back and said, "Never mind, you can come in." When I walked into the office, after sitting down, I could hear the receptionist talking to someone on the phone discussing the prices of my fillings and crown. She hung up and I said. "I was listening to your entire conversation. I heard you saying that the price of my crown (at 50% covered by insurance) was going to be $450. I let her know that on my last visit I was given a quote of $350 that I wrote down. She then processed to call someone back and told me okay. I'm very curious to know what this was all about. She then had be pay before I got my services done. (Fast forward to the end of my visit- I didn't end up getting the crown) and they were unable to give me a refund. They told me to call back the next day for a refund. I asked why can't you do it now? They said often times when they give a refund people are charged twice by accident. I said, can't you write a note to cancel my charge? Why do I need to call you? She said, please just call for a reminder. When I called the next morning at 10:10 after they opened, the woman said she just walked in and needed to get settled. She couldn't do it now, call back later. I told her I was a teacher and couldn't call during the day, she said call after school. Going backward to my visit, the dentist seemed to have the wrong teeth written down that needed to be fixed. I will say this, the actual dentist herself was very nice and had a great temperament and did my fillings great with lots of great advice. I surely hope that she's just hired to work there and this isn't her actual practice.
Fast forward 5 months and I called this practice to have my X-rays sent to a new office. When I called on a Monday morning I was absolutely harassed and told in a yelling tone they must know exactly why I need these x-rays and where they are going. They asked numerous times if I was planning on leaving the practice, and must know what my plan is and if I will be coming back. Then she proceeded to tell me it was a Monday morning and they were so swamped that she would call me back later. When I told her I was a teacher she gave me an email so that I could talk to somebody. After I emailed a woman requesting my X-rays I got an email instantly back saying they were out of the office. When I called back and told them this, she said decided to look herself. Two woman told me they did not have any full set dental records. I actually had to call my insurance company who had to call them. I feel they only gave them to me because I threatened them. Let's just put it this way- every single interaction I've had with the office is an absolute headache.
The entire experience was just so unbelievable and unprofessional every single step or the way. I only went here because my dental insurance changed and I wanted someone in town. In my opinion, the practice should be shut down or receive an extreme business makeover. read more
