He takes his time to thoroughly explain all of your treatment options and is very conservative, always opting to try the least invasive or drastic procedure first. He is one of a kind. I have referred several friends and co-workers to him, and have received nothing but incredibly positive feedback from everyone who has seen him. If you are looking for the BEST dental care, see Dr. Ritz!

I always hated going to the dentist but, thanks to aspen dental it's now like going to see old…read morefriends. As a child my mom would take us kids to a dentist who must have had a secret love for causing pain. He would drill my cavities without the use of Novocaine. He probably didn't have a pain fetish but, he was definitely too cheap and in too much of a hurry to bother with numbing teeth before drilling them. Needless to say, going to the dentist must have been a hidden fear of mine considering that I have been to the dentist 5 times in 25 years. Thanks to Aspen Dental I have now visited the dentist 12 times in 2 1/2 years. The free exam and x-rays were a nice surprise but, not compared to the pleasant and cheerful staff. Everybody treated me with respect and made me feel comfortable. The dentist who did the exam made sure that it was painless and explained, in detail, in a way I was able to understand exactly what my teeth needed. The staff up front did a great job finding a finance option that suited me. Not once did I feel embarrassed about my condition, all of my questions were answered and explained thoroughly and their knowledge of dentistry was impressive. My teeth are now in good condition and I look forward to my appointments thanks to the great staff at Aspen Dental.

Made us finance money that we didn't have to, interest charges and a hit on our credit as a result. Never explained anything to us just threw paperwork at us. Billed for procedures that were never done only to be told "if the dentist said so they were done" by Jasmine in the office who talks over you any chance she gets. They did not abide by the in-network charges that they were contracted by our insurance companies. They LIE and STEAL from people who don't know about insurance coverage, check your EOBs!!!. Refused to continue speaking to my wife, who is on my HIPAA form, because she questioned their billing. They didn't like that she was on to them and knew what she was talking about. Overcharged us $2000 plus which we will be continuing to fight for a refund. We will be reporting them to the Better Business Bureau. I wish we would have read up on those BBB complaints because we would have learned how deceitful they are ahead of time. PLEASE DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR BUSINESS YOU WILL REGRET EVERY MINUTE OF IT!!!!

Everything started out fine. I went in for a first-time appointment/evaluation. The doctor(s) were…read morepleasant and informative. I was feeling positive about them being able to help. Then the problems began. As I was leaving they promised me they would call me with information that I needed to run the treatment scenario by my insurance. On my way out I also requested that they email me so I would know for sure the proper email to use. I received no such email but I did then proactively email them information that they had requested to their business email. A few weeks went by; no phone call; no email; no communication whatsoever from them. Then, a few months later, I called. The person on the phone didn't acknowledge that I had sent the information I requested. They stated that no such information from me had been received. They also didn't acknowledge their promise to me to provide me the codes so that I could exercise my due diligence and run everything by my insurance. The pleasant (I am being ironic, she was rude) woman I spoke with told me that they were still waiting for information from me. I then informed the pleasant woman that I had the information they needed and requested - again - for them/her to email me so that I could respond with the information they said they needed. (Remember, my prior email was ignored - or never received maybe?) The woman I was speaking to laughed at me derisively for requesting that she be bothered (not an exaggeration, it was a literal "guffaw") with proactively emailing a potential customer. I didn't respond to her disrespectful tone or haughty, derisive laugh and pleasantly requested again that she email me first. She said, essentially, "sure, whatever." (Paraphrasing.) I did not react to the provocations of the receptionist/admin since I did really like the doctors. Of course you know the end of the story. The boss - pardon me, I mean the admin - did not email me. Maybe she's an undercover billionaire boss who runs the practice for fun and not profit; and she doesn't do things for lowly customers. Who knows, regardless, that's what happened. I wasted almost $200 out of pocket (my co-pay), drove quite a ways from my home, and had the pleasure of being disrespected multiple times. I am glad, however, that the admin felt powerful and got joy by being an mischievous gatekeeper. Low quality people enjoy abusing their power. Bottom line, if you can get past reception without losing your cool and get to the doctors (who are actually very pleasant and professional) you might consider this place. But if you are not a masochist then maybe consider a place where the staff CAN be bothered to be nice, professional, and considerate.

Going to the dentist is traumatic enough, so having someone you can trust with your smile is imperative! Unfortunately this is not the case for the staff at Elite Dental group in PK.
