Surely the most intimidating thing about moving into a new area is to find new service providers,…read morewith the most insurmountable task of all, finding a dentist that you feel comfortable with. I'm happy to share that I have found that very dentist. I take good care of my teeth and typically go in for routine cleanings every six months and rarely have cavities. But when I do have the occasional problems that pop up every 3 or 4 years, they are significant and costly. Normally I get ahead of things before they become an issue but with my big move and a pretty intense past 10 months or so, I had gone an entire year without a cleaning or exam. And then an old crown popped off when I was flossing, reminding me that I better get my ass to the dentist. I searched for a dentist on Yelp and was finding that barely any are reviewed around these parts! And then I found Mel Mel Dental with what appeared to be a very sincere 5 star review, so I took a chance. In all my years of going to dentists, I find my experience here to be the best of all. I rarely if ever, have to wait. There's a family-like atmosphere amongst the staff that makes one feel immediately comfortable. If you look at their website, they give a bio on everyone from reception to hygienists to Dr. Suditu himself. So cool! I actually look forward to seeing the staff and Theresa, the dental assistant, is particularly great to talk to. She makes you feel immediately comfortable as if you're about to share a bottle of wine rather than get dental work done. Finally, a note on painless dentistry. Dr. Suditu is particularly careful to explain exactly what is going on from anesthesia (he expertly administers the shot so that you barely feel it) to the procedure itself. Similarly, he explains your options and takes insurance coverage into consideration. These are all the things that can cause stress in a patient. Now, if only I can find a doctor that I like even half as much...

Dr. K is wonderful and extremely knowledgeable. My daughter went through treatment with braces and…read morewe were happy with the outcome. Would be 5 stars but we were less than thrilled with the new set up at the new location. While beautiful, there is absolutely no privacy during visits. Previous location had partitions between patient areas but the new location is completely open. It is uncomfortable to be present when someone else is discussing and receiving medical treatment with a doctor and we felt uncomfortable having others view and listen while my daughter was discussing her braces and having bands changed. New patient consultations get a room, but after that, your visits are in a tiny communal area with no privacy. I hope they reconsider this set up. Children deserve privacy during medical visits just as adults do.

It's a large and busy practice with a roomy waiting area and a cool "window" above with clouds. The dental technician (I wish I can recall her name now) was wonderful - kind, considerate, and informative. The front desk person was also helpful. I had filled out all the paperwork in advance, which surprised her. The dental rooms are all roomy enough and completely open with no doors. I felt fine about that, as it's way to keep staff accountable (I presume). Two things that were different - I never saw the dentist. Instead the dental technician consulted with the dentist and came back to me. Maybe there's only one dentist (?). On the one hand, I would've liked to meet the dentist and have him check my teeth. On the other hand, it does save time. Also, they don't give a goodie bag with a new toothbrush, toothpaste and dental floss. Not a biggie but definitely different than any other place I've been to. So, just one star off for not seeing the dentist and no goodie bag (!) They didn't sell me on anything except to ask me how I felt if they checked with my insurance about replacing two crowns (which I know I've needed for some time), and that I should observe how I may be clenching my teeth. If I was, they'd recommend that I try an OTC night guard as it's much less expensive. Regarding the person who makes appointments, I frankly wasn't put off by her directness. Instead, I kind of laughed, and told her I appreciated her forthright manner. This past Monday she called me after I left a voicemail over the weekend about possibly rescheduling my appointment due to the snowstorm. She said that it wasn't probably be an issue but I was welcome to call on the morning of the appointment to cancel if weather didn't improve.

Upon a second opinion, by a more professional dentist, they said the work he was doing. What's subpar, the x-rays? What class C they wanted to rip out 4 teeth just to do implants? When all is I needed was some perio care in molers, they're all about pushing for money, money, money, they even did a gum surgery on my wife who didn't need it. Never had any problems and now has problems. They don't care. What you need It's all about what they need. I'd say it's insurance fraud and criminal. They also said that I was in network, but on further investigation found out they would be hitting me for sixteen thousand dollars.

BEWARE! I scheduled what I believed would be a routine…read moreannual exam and cleaning, and even took time off work for it. Instead, the experience felt misleading and extremely frustrating from the start. As soon as I arrived, they immediately began taking X-rays without clearly explaining the process or what my visit would actually include. Then another staff member came in and started aggressively poking and scraping my teeth, all while telling me I needed teeth removed and pushing me toward a consultation with their oral surgeon. At no point during the visit did I receive the cleaning I specifically scheduled. When I asked the front desk about it, I was told I'd need to book yet another appointment for the cleaning, and they strongly pressured me to schedule a separate consultation with their oral surgeon as well. It honestly felt like one of those dental groups that upsell services to hit quotas rather than prioritizing patient care. What should have been a simple, routine visit seemed intentionally broken into multiple appointments, which wastes time and raises concerns about unnecessary billing. Very disappointing experience. I would not recommend if you're expecting transparency and straightforward care.

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.
