Please be kind to your dentist...they have have fillings too :D…read more Due to the pandemic, its been a year since going to the dentist. That is the longest time carried on between my visits. So naturally I was apprehensive coming to a new dental practice outside my normal Los Angeles dental care. Dentistry of the Pines made me realize my worries were completely unfounded. They have such an extraordinary well run practice with staff providing excellent service, amazing knowledge, and an up-to-date dental facility. The cleanliness and bright surroundings gave me complete confidence I made the right decision. Would highly recommend! My only annoyance is that I paid for pain and received none :P Procedure was completely pain-free and marvelous. A big thank you to the staff which helped and overwhelmed me with kindness: Miss Kayla, Miss Sarah, Miss Maggie, Miss Kris, Miss Emma and Dr. George (amazing gentleman)

I was billed $50 for a missed appointment. When I called and left a message about the problem, I was told that they had been open and I was to pay the the fee. In effect they were calling me a liar.

Beware of non-transparent billing practices…read more I'll start with the good- The office was clean and modern. The staff were all very nice and my teeth cleaning and exam were great. Now the bad- After my appointment I was, to my surprise, told by the front desk that I owed $407 for my exam, cleaning, and X-rays. The receptionist then informed me that their office was out-of-network with all insurance carriers and that I would have to pay in full and submit my own insurance claim (they later submitted my claim as a "curtesy"). I was completely shocked. The receptionist then stated that I was told this information when I made the initial appointment. I am 100% positive that this conversation never occurred because I would not have made the appointment if I had been informed that they were out-of-network with my insurance. I assumed that I would get my teeth cleaned and then pay a normal copay at the end of my cleaning because I was never told anything different. On my arrival to the office they never once mentioned that they were out-of-network. They never provided me with a treatment plan or estimate outlining the cost of the visit. The first time they mentioned cost was after my appointment when they surprised me with the $407 bill. My husband and I figured that this was a misunderstanding and called the office manager to try and resolve the situation. We figured they would acknowledge that the entire situation was a simple mistake. To our surprise, the office manager blamed me for "not listening" to the receptionist when I made the appointment (again, this conversation never occurred). She said that they have a script that is read to every patient and implied that I was lying. She then went on to say I should have read the fine print when I signed my pre-appointment forms online. To be fair, after looking back at the form, it does state that "all dental services are charged directly to the patient." Even so, since their insurance/billing practices are not the norm, they should be personally discussing their policies with new patients prior to dental services being rendered. When questioned about why they did not provide me with a treatment plan or estimated cost prior to bringing me back to the exam room, the office manager said that if I "was so concerned about insurance coverage, why didn't she ask for a cost estimate?" Again no empathy, no transparency, no accountability. In the end we asked if, under the circumstances, they would consider discounting the charges. They refused saying "that a service was provided" and that they had "trained our staff to clearly communicate our policies." In the end, my insurance paid $98 towards the visit and I am responsible for the remainder. This will be my one and only visit to Hubbard Dental due to their deceptive billing practices, blaming attitude, and complete lack of empathy towards a situation that they created through a simple lack of communication.

My teenage daughter, then a junior in high school, needed emergency dental care on the trickiest of…read moredays. It was a day not only three shy of her departing for a week-long school trip abroad that she'd been working toward and paying for since she was a freshman; but a day when, I am embarrassed to say that, our state insurance had lapsed. She woke up in severe pain and tears, revealing to us she'd been hiding the issue for fear it would nullify her trip. Morganton Park Dental Care took her at the last minute for examination and x-rays when no one else would; got her an additional, local, same-day, root canal appointment when no one else would see her; and took her again for the follow-up potion of the whole procedure before she left on a plane. It was a process that involved a dentist coming in on her day off; us coming in outside of posted hours; scheduling that their internet interface would not allow; answering their phones which no one else in the area had for the ceaseless hours I'd been trying; and a verbalized list of available discounts and credit options from disparate sources that could help us with the bill. Having called and left messages for every dentist I could find in a two-hour driving radius, to this day, though Morganton Park Dental Care made sure it would no longer be necessary, just one, ONE, of those other dentists has called me back. That dentist's office did so 20 days later and offered an "emergency" appointment 3.5 months thereafter. I like Morganton Park because of how they treated us, by comparison. Not for nothing, it also warrants mention that while our insurance had been in good standing, (going back to before Morganton Park had opened) my daughter's existing appointments to address her cavities at another establishment, the only area establishment willing to accept a minor, her age, with our coverage, had previously insisted upon doing so over four appointments, one per quadrant of her teeth, sessions that they'd scheduled "as close together as they could." That meant sessions to fill her known cavities, each on the books eight months apart from the other and us remaining far down on a constant waiting list for happenstance cancelations. Shorthand...the absolute best anyone in the Aberdeen/Southern Pines/Pinehurst area could do, with coverage, was to allow select cavities to age more than two years without attention and fully ensure my daughter would require a root canal at age 16. Morganton Park immediately filled her other cavities when she got back from her trip. Expensive? Yes, but no moreso than anywhere else. I shouldn't have to say it's "funny" how Morganton Park's best did all this and didn't even require the coverage. Look, the brief lapse in insurance is completely on me. Hiding her pain until it was too late? Also on me. Not remembering or checking how fast a cavity can get out of control? Still me. Though I needed to listen to what the professionals were telling me, schedule-wise and safety-wise, I don't blame any of the dentists or office workers previous to Morganton Park. I'm sure their professionalism is beyond reproach and therefore at least somewhat unable to manage my personal failures. Finding fault is not what this post is about. But in a seemingly inescapable local business culture focused on chiefly dental WORK, it doesn't seem so much of a stretch for me to characterize Morganton Park's splendid handling of my situation as what we used to call it, dental CARE.
