After many attempts to resolve this issue, which includes retracting a previous Google Review to give Shauyb Dentistry a chance, I am posting my review again. After reading the first review, the dentist office became irate so I tried to resolve the matter again and could not.
October 19, 2022 - Tooth extraction, x-rays, and dental implant procedure and given antibiotics.
1-1/2 weeks later - Tooth area became highly inflamed/swollen/sore - called dentist and was told I already had antibiotics and will be fine.
Few more days later - Tooth area worsened and called dentist again. Asked for more antibiotics and was told no.
Three days later - Called dentist and begged for antibiotic and was given a prescription; however, the infection was severe, and my implant fell out.
November 10, 2022 - appointment - was told it was fine and I would have to wait 4 months for healing.
April 17, 2022 - appointment for implant - dentist took x-rays, did a cleaning and sent me home without an implant.
Many weeks later after calling multiple times asking about an implant procedure and receiving no return call, I received a letter in the mail saying they would no longer treat me and to find another dentist. They were upset that I called asking about this and showing dissatisfaction with no return contact with their office. It is very unprofessional to ignore your patients.
Because they did not fix the implant, I asked for a refund so I could go to another dentist. It was a very costly procedure. The woman on the phone said very rudely that my implant failed because I smelled like smoke at my appointment and smoking causes it. I told her that many times I come into their appointments after work, which I am a firefighter/paramedic, and encounter many brush fires during my 24 hours shifts. She said she would speak to the dentist and contact me by the end of the week (Friday). I was not contacted by the dentist office.
I called my insurance carriers and explained the situation. The insurance company called the dentist office and the person who answered said I would be contacted. I was not contacted by the dentist office.
I called my insurance company the next week. The insurance person called the dentist office, and they did not pick up the phone and a message was left. I was never contacted by the dentist office. The insurance company advised me to file a Quality of Care compliant to receive a refund, which I did.
I am unable to go to another dentist and use insurance due to this so everything will be self-pay, in the amount of approximately $2,500.
The dentist is refusing to speak with me or the insurance company. I will be filing a complaint with the Better Business Bureau, and the Florida Board of Dentistry.
Sad thing is I did everything in my power to not go to this level and was forced to do so,
They ever refused to answer the in network insurance company for further review in three weeks, So I am posting here and will follow up on FB, and all other forms of media at my disposal as to not let anyone else fall into the trap and dishonesty I was subjected to. All I asked for was for it to be replaced or refunded so I could go elsewhere and was denied and ignored. So choose wisely! look at their reviews!! I wish I would have, and all they had to do was the right thing post surgical? sad
What an absolute dirty company, addressed them through the BBB and they lied, and offered me 1500 back of the 2500 spent. It shouldn't be so hard to get a company to do the right thing. It will be my pleasure to take this all the way to the Florida Board of Dentistry. read more
