    My family moved to the AV in 2017. After seeing another dentist in Lancaster who recommended…read moreunnecessary procedures (warned by my previous dentist in another state to run from anyone who tried to convince me I needed x, y and z done), I decided I would not find a good dentist nearby. That's when a friend told me about Dr Singh. Forever grateful to this friend! Dr Singh is highly skilled, knowledgeable, professional AND funny, down to earth, and incredibly compassionate. She was unaware of my bad experience with another dentist in the AV and was very honest about not needing work done to x, y and z. Her integrity is unmatched. Needless to say, I'm extremely impressed with the care I've received from Dr Singh.

    I am unsure why Yelp refers to this as a practice of oral surgeons. Dr. Singh operates a general…read moredentistry practice. The office staff is pleasant, the doctor is nice, the location is ideal. It's also clean and modern. So why only two stars? Because every time it has been necessary to schedule follow up appointments they are about three months out. As my spouse and I would come to learn the hard way, scheduling that far out can result in poor outcomes. (The Cliff's Notes version is that without any pain in any teeth, my spouse was informed as a new patient that multiple upper molars needed root canals because some decay had begun internal to the teeth behind a number of white fillings, which we belatedly learned were never intended to last the 10+ years that they had, as compared to the older silver type of fillings that seem to last indefinitely.) Because my spouse and I like Dr. Singh and the staff, we continued to visit this practice until it finally became apparent that this may have been more than "bad luck" on our part. One day, we arrived for back-to-back cleanings only to be told I had to wait about 40 minutes after my spouse was seen because a patient who was supposed to be there for only a filling ended up needing a root canal. While waiting, it dawned on me that like my spouse, the patient had likely been told they needed to follow up on an issue at a routine dental checkup but by the time they were actually scheduled it was months later. If in the midst of waiting for that follow up appointment anything whatsoever happened to cause the patient to reschedule, the initial three month wait could easily have ballooned into a six month or longer wait between diagnosis and service. As new patients at the tail end of the pandemic, my spouse was left in a state of confusion over whether paying for thousands of dollars in root canals that might fail in as little as two or three years was the better choice vs. going to an oral surgeon to remove teeth that were causing no apparent discomfort in the knowledge that this would leave no remaining upper rear chewing surface until such time at least two of the removed molars were replaced with implants. While trying to line up consults with oral surgeons and to research the options on implants and private-pay insurance plans that might cover those services (most don't), my spouse continued to be scheduled at this practice an average of three months out for routine care. On one of those follow-up appointments, with the teeth still not causing any discomfort, Dr. Singh informed my spouse that time had run out and root canals were no longer an option. That happened to be the same day I was left to wait while Dr. Singh attended to the aforementioned patient whose filling had morphed into a root canal. That's when I put two-and-two together and realized that with as far as this office schedules out, the prolonged wait time could very well become the difference between teeth that can be saved vs. those that cannot. Our impression was further solidified when my spouse went elsewhere for oral surgery to remove the aforementioned molars, at which point they flagged the need for still more fillings, some of which were scheduled for follow up at Dr. Singh's office, but with the long delays we have come to expect. Fearing we were just one rescheduled appointment away from another round of irreversible mistakes, my spouse ended up having the other practice fill the cavities because they were able to book him in under two weeks and take care of all of the issues in a single visit. In fairness, I don't want to say this is all on the doctor because patients have life events and are responsible for remaining on top of their follow up appointments. At the same time, if this practice had more providers and/or kept more in-office hours, it might be possible to avert a costly dental disaster. Bottom line? It is likely we are not the only "new "patients who had somehow managed to go through many uneventful years of dental care only to end up in an extremely costly and unfortunate place, struggling to afford implants after losing several teeth, when it should have been possible to avoid worst-case outcomes.

    I had my first root canal on Friday and let me tell you... it was nothing like I expected. Upon…read morefirst hearing the news I was petrified but I could no longer continue feeling pain the way I did so I went ahead and scheduled it. The weeks leading up to it were filled with nothing but friends and family alike telling me they were sorry I needed it as it's a horrible procedure but that I'd be happy to have it done after the fact. I felt my heart in my stomach when the day/hour finally arrived. I got to the office and was greeted by the friendly staff. The girls are so sweet and check you in quickly. Staff in the back office are just as sweet and understanding of any irrational fears (as my own lol). I knew I wasn't seeing the same dentist as I had previously so that added to the nerves. The two girls responsible for me that day did a great job of keeping me calm and walking me through the whole process. The doctor came in and introduced himself. He also made sure to acknowledge my feelings and walked me through the whole procedure while making sure I was never uncomfortable. Dr. Michael Ortega has a magical hand. Not once did I feel any pain at all. Not when he injected the anesthesia, nor during the actual root canal nor thereafter. I was so appreciative of him and the tech who molded my crown that same day so I wouldn't have to come back. Her color matching skills are impeccable! Now you can't even tell I have a crown. I went home that day feeling like a million bucks and no longer fear the dentist. Thank you Lancaster Modern for the amazing job you do at taking care of your patients.

    They are a Delta Dental provider and they charge more than the Delta Dental approved prices. I paid…read moreover $1,000 more and they simply do not respond to my request to look into the money they owe me.
