When the dentist allowed her to help put a cap on my uncovered tooth that had been just received a root canal, she already knew WITHOUT the cap the tooth was very sensitive to pain because the dentist already tested it after I came to the appointment just to see the sensitivity. When She proceeded to go into my mouth I'm wondering what she doing (he already tested it, and she knows it's painful . So, (without the cap to put on my tooth) she used the drill and said "I want you to see something " she took the drill and hit my naked tooth with that instrument the dentist did and then said "(you can get somebody else if you want)." She hit that uncovered tooth with the drill so fast I almost jumped out the seat it hurt so bad. I read in these reviews where the Doctor or hygienist used anesthetic on someone's gums while scaling back their teeth? I was not ever offered pain relief for scaling. I was told "all the patients took the pressure and pain!". They tried to do my scaling by digging with a sharp instrument in my gums until I screamed in pain. The hygienist thought it was a joke because I was so upset . They did not numb me nor warn me about the pain of having to go into my gums with a sharp instrument. I believe I was assaulted with dental instruments and then made a joke of . I am afraid to go back there after those experiences to tell them my dentures (they made) hurt so bad and look so bad I can't wear them almost not at all. Food gets stuck in the tooth that had the root canal because it's indented and not smooth. They kept trying to get $100.00 out of me at this dentist office. Kept saying you owe us $100.00 but never told me why. I never understood anyway because My dental care was totally insured . So, they finally backed off asking me. But, I believe I was being billed for something I didn't get. When they figured they couldn't just take my money without explanations they just said forget about it. When has a business ever said forget about $100.00?

I am extremely upset with the front office staff at River Run Dental at Colonial Heights. They are…read morerude, and lack accountability and responsibility. On multiple occasions they have incorrectly submitted claims to my insurance company causing the insurance company to not pay. Sometimes submitting my procedure to an old outdated insurance, sometimes submitting my claim attached to a doctor that is not covered in my network. (a doctor that I didn't even see) Each time the front office has been rude and dismissive, gaslighting me too feel as though I made a mistake and am late on payments. After I have spent my own free time to follow up on why the insurance did not cover the procedure, it has always been because the dental office has been careless while submitting the claim. When I call back to the dental office with this new information all I get is more attitude and told they will look into it and will call me back, but they never actually do either. The dental hygienist, and dentists have all been pleasant and professional, but unfortunately the front office is a mess. Because you can not separate one from the other, I highly suggest going elsewhere.

I was recently consulted and recommended to have a root canal treatment. Since it was my first…read moretime, I needed reassurance about the procedure and billing process. Unfortunately, the receptionist spoke to me in a rude and dismissive manner. She said things like, "I don't have time for this," and, "she doesn't understand," while using an aggressive and unpleasant tone. Instead of feeling supported, I was left feeling inadequate and confused about the billing. I eventually had to seek reassurance from another staff member to feel more comfortable. Overall, the clinical care was acceptable; however, I felt that Dr. Patel could have been more reassuring, especially for patients like me who are going through this type of treatment for the first time. It is important for both staff and providers to take the time to explain procedures and billing thoroughly, and to offer reassurance to patients who may feel uncertain or anxious. Greater care and communication in this area would help patients feel more confident and supported.
