    If you want a place that puts their financial gain over the welfare of the children they are…read moresupposed to care for, this is the place for you!! After going for here for 3 years and having nothing but amazing experience with the hygienists who are all the sweetest and most patient people ever, Dr. Choi lived up to his reputation. Glad I had a warning and trusted my gut to get a second opinion. After my son had his bi-annual appointment, I was informed that there is some work that needed to be done that included cavities on two different teeth, a caries arresting treatment to one minor cavity and a stainless steel crown. All of which would total $1590. I was in shock that in six months time, so much work would be needed. Went to get a second opinion after the X-rays from Safari Smiles was transferred to the new dentist. The new dentist, after reviewing the SAME X-rays, found only a small cavity that she used the caries arresting treatment on. The tooth that Dr. Choi said needed a stainless steel crown on? Absolutely nothing wrong with it! The small cavity he did have was not on the tooth that was so bad Dr. Choi claimed needed to have the crown installed. Please do your kids and your wallet a favor and find another place that will put your kids first

    I'm sorry to say that the only pediatric dentist in Ithaca almost drilled into my kids teeth when…read moreit was not necessary. We went for a yearly dental cleaning and the dentist told me my daughter needed 6 fillings in her molars and I should get it done ASAP. In order to schedule the procedure, you need to leave a $500 deposit. My husband and I asked decided to get a second opinion from a dentist that came highly recommended by a few friends. After examining her teeth and x-rays that safari smiles provided, he said he teeth are perfectly fine and she definitely doesn't have cavities! He also sadly says he sees a lot of dentists doing this.....JUST TERRIBLE! I immediately called safari smiles and canceled the appointment and got our deposit back without any issues, but I am appalled that they were about to drill into my 4 years old's teeth to make a buck! Do not take your kid here!!!!

    Dr. Zax is the best dentist in the area. Got me right in and with great music too!read more

    I had heard a few rave reviews about Dr. Zax from some friends. Since my dentist of 20 years…read morepacked up and retired without a !?@%ing word to anyone, I was in a pinch to find a new one. Called up Dr. Zax's office and the appointment making process was pleasant and quick. That's where the positivity of this review ends. I also want to preface this review with the fact that I am NOT one of those people who is terrified of the dentist. I have never been afraid of any doctor. I spent nearly three hours at their office from start to finish. For a CLEANING! A Cleaning! Waited in the waiting room for a half an hour. Sat in the torture chair for an hour and a half. Waited another half an hour for the doctor to review the Grim Reaper's work. Waited ten minutes for doctor to get off of her cell phone. Listened to the doctor try to convince me for another ten minutes that I "might" have a cavity (I am 42 years old and have never had a cavity) and that I will need to come back and get it "fixed" for a few more hundred dollars. The rooms were freezing. Maybe they need to be, I don't know. The dental assistant proceeded to tell me everything that my previous dentist had done wrong in the last twenty years. Picked at my teeth with her mouth-hatchet for far longer than I've ever had anyone do in the past. My entire mouth was sore for two days (again, a first) and I had a headache for 24 hours after that appointment. The receptionist is very cheery. So thanks for that. Good music in the office too. Yeah, that's all I got.

    Made an appointment for a consultation specifically to replace my husband's permanent dentures…read more(originally done out of state). When we arrived we were taken into the back and again explained why we were there. Dr Josh examined my husband and informed us that we would need to go to their Vestal office for another consultation because they don't do that there. We were then charged $59 to be told they couldn't help us. Total waste of time and money. If they don't do orthodontia work there, they never should have made us an appointment. Let alone charged us to tell us they couldn't help us.

This notice was well after, in March I believe, the I had the ability to change dental insurance. Since insurance decisions for most individuals must be made the previous November. I was unhappy, but decided that I would pay out of pocket for the second cleaning of the year. This year I changed insurance to one that Lalor accepted. Now I have a dental issue that the new insurance will not cover because I have not had that insurance for 1 year. This leaves me with the option to pay approximately $3000 out of pocket or have a tooth extraction, still pay out of pocket but less money. DO NOT! Trust Lalor Family Dental. By conducting business this way Lalor Family Dental has placed the burden of their business decisions on me. They are are unscrupulous and are causing me great pain and suffering. DO NOT USE Lalor Family Dental.

    Outstanding. My family has had 10 years of the very best care. An exemplary group of professionals.read more

    My husband had a cap split n fall out. I called Corning Dental Associates for information re:…read morerepair and whether he could use his Insurance. The front desk person immediately stated that no decisions could be made because he wld be REQUIRED to have "full mouth xrays, a comprehensive dental exam and a cleaning/ hygiene appt". I started to explain that he has his hygiene, as covered by his insurance, biannually. She stated very firmly that he would be required to have hygiene performed. She repeated three times the RULES required before he could be seen for his broken tooth. Yes, its best For Xrays and a comprehensive exam being necessary. In addition to feeling bullied by this person, it kept going badly. I asked a simple question if whether they accepted insurance payments before we had to pay the bill. "No, he pays and waits for the insurance reimbursement" Soooo they can charge whatever they want and the patient gets "whatever". This phone interaction was the rudest communication I have ever had with a healthcare facility office. As an Rn myself, with a 50 year hospital career and currently working as a fill-in physicians office RN, this pretty much sounded like extortion of persons needing emergency treatment. I asked her twice why he was required to have cleaning despite having this done in our out of state location, she said it was a requirement. That alone would be 100% out of pocket. It was obvious that this dental office puts money as their first and only priority. We were referred by a friend who pays cash and has all her care at the dental associated location. No Thanks. As it is, we wld have to drive an hour in to Corning for care while dreading and assuming mistrust of this group. It felt like upfront extortion! My husband had tongue cancer, radiation to his tongue and full mouth xrays wld need to have been discussed and negotiated by a dentist! This front desk person never asked anything about my husband. Also, his chemo therapy caused significant deafness which was not a yopic I had any chance of mentioning. I was pretty much bullied, Amen Be careful using this group, there are others available with less glitz n glamor! We found another dental office that not only asked about my husband's dental history, they spent time explaining how they needed to know a lot more and yes, they bill insurance company first! Couldn't have been nicer!
