    This office is completely unprofessional. They are very deceptive billing practices. They said I…read morewas going to have to pay $803 for my daughter's surgery. When I originally setup the evaluation, three months prior to her surgery, this provider was in network with my insurance. The provider withdrew from my insurance one month prior to her surgery; therefore, the bill was processed as out of network, which is costing me an additional $851. When I called to ask if anything could be done about this, I was treated very rudely and was told that this was my problem. I was told that I should have verified this information prior to the surgery myself. The refused to reduce the bill even though i paid $803 and they were paid $584 from my insurance. I asked them if I could be put on a payment plan because I could not afford this additional $851.00. They explained to me that I had to pay $100 a month or I was going to be sent to collections. This is the RUDEST MOST UNPROFESSIONAL OFFICE THAT I HAVE EVER BEEN TOO. DO NOT RECOMMEND AT ALL!!!!!

    Worse experience! These people are completely unprofessional, rude and I hope do not represent the…read moredoctors that work there. My dentist referred me to this office(I'm assuming because it was close to my home) for my wisdom teeth removal. They booked me for a appt almost 4 months out then canceled that appt said surgeon would be on vacation. I tried to make another appt months later after my dentist suggested again to have my teeth removed and they scheduled me a date and time then called 3 days prior to my appt to confirm and to let me know to fill paperwork out online. Day of appt they call asking where I am because im late I said no my appt is at 2pm. They proceed to tell me im wrong and no one told me that and the computer is right they have it scheduled. I inform that ok well let's just setup for tomorrow then since it's clearly a misunderstanding I was told no and the best they can do is schedule me a month and a half out. I inform them to just cancel my request and delete my info pretend I never even called. The crazy part is I have a PPO great insurance I can literally go anywhere!

    I know its a long review but I chose this dentist because of his good reviews and close to home,…read morewhen I got there a year and half ago I felt at ease and safe, I trusted he would do a good job, was also a nice quiet setting not the normal scary assembly line feel. I had just lost my Dad 2 days prior so I was comfortable in this quiet office, having just been in and out of a hospital that was very stressful. I had a cracked tooth that was so painful and he said he could fill it and save the tooth which was great ! I love a dentist that saves teeth and he even allowed me to do this without any meds which I was happy about and we discussed that if I wanted the numbing med I could get it, he also saw a very small cavity in my one wisdom tooth and said we can fill that too, all was going good. Sadly it did not go good in the end for not just one tooth but both, he drilled the wisdom and filled it, all seemed great and then he got to the other tooth, I really think he drilled too deep for this one, he seemed to be finished and reached for the filling but then came back and drilled a bit more, at that point I felt pain, I had not felt any pain just a little pressure before so I was thinking he hit the nerve, possible damage. I left with a large filling that felt odd but I thought it will be ok, but days went by and I could not eat, the filling was too high and very rough, my bite was way off too and I got a bubble on the gum which I think was an abscess, kept popping and reappearing, the wisdom tooth however felt normal, I went back to get the filling fixed, which I could not even get in for 2 weeks which was horrible because over filled teeth can DAMAGE a tooth, which may have played a roll in what happened to me as time went by, when I got there he did an x ray, I asked him what the small swelling was below the gum on the x ray and he said a nerve which was odd because its very hard to see nerves, I still think it was an abscess but he said no and gave no meds for it, he polished down the tall filling and I left, I was now eating better and it felt ok but a week or so went by and I felt a heaviness so I touched the tooth only to find it moving back and forth, I called to get an app. but the woman said nothing available for 2 weeks and kept asking how can it be loose, so I said I will just wait and see if it tightens up which can happen according to my research, weeks past and It seemed to be tighter and I was in no pain so I went on but every now and then it felt heavy and numb, then about 5 months ago I was eating and the other tooth, the wisdom tooth broke off which was the tooth that was never bothering me that he filled, it cut my cheek but days went by and it felt smooth again and no pain but it seems the filling made the tooth weak, I feel now It was not a necessary filling for an extremely small cavity, then a few days ago the worst happened, I was eating chicken and nothing even hard for what happened next, my other tooth filling broke off taking a small piece of tooth with it, I was searching for the metal in my mouth with my dinner as it was crunching with my food, now have a sharp edge sticking up and looking for a new dentist but I am fearful now of who to go to, both fillings failed after only a year and the other a year and a half. I know everyone's mouth and teeth react different but for both teeth to have failed seems like treatment was either wrong or done incorrectly, its disappointing because I really wanted to like this dentist, he worked with me, was flexible and seemed professional but from the tall over filled tooth to the broken wisdom then the broken sharp filling Its very upsetting ! I was not even going to give a bad review after the over filled tooth I felt well ok he fixed it, mistakes happen, then the wisdom I had thought I should do a review but I did not, then the original bad tooth I had went in for has a broken filling after only just over a year, this is total BS !

    When my dentist told me that I should extract all my upper teeth and get a denture because my teeth…read morewere beyond repair, she also informed me that she could not make the denture itself because I had an implant in that jaw. I consulted with many dentists in the area, some of whom agreed with her assessment, but couldn't do the job, but more who wanted to save the teeth. I really didn't think the teeth could be saved and most wanted to do root canals which I did not want. Dr. Kreiner, however, told me that he could save the teeth without root canals and make a partial denture that he could add teeth to at a later date if necessary. I chose him. He explained why I was having dental problems, gave advise on dry mouth and other subjects, told me that he included silver in his dental fillings because silver tarnishes and creates a tighter bond with the tooth (most of my previous cavities were around fillings that didn't bond and even some of those fillings shifter or fell out). He was an artist in creating the partial using skills, science, and patience. It fits extremely well, very snug, and I've had no more cavities. Dr. Kreiner doesn't leave you after he injects the local anesthetic to work on another patient as many dentists do. He stays with his patient and explains his proceedures and why he's doing what he's doing. He loves to talk, but he's informative and entertaining.

I respect everyone's right to have their own political views, but I would really prefer to be able to have my teeth worked on without having to listen to a constant stream of bizarre left-wing propaganda talking points. Let's leave politics out of the chair-side talk and show some professionalism and respect to everyone. You're a dentist, stick to dentistry please.

I explained insurance might not cover a bonding because I just had it done by another dentist shortly before this one. It fell off and it wasn't the first time so I explained this might not last but I wanted to have it done by him to see if it was something my prior dentist was doing wrong or if it was just my tooth. He agreed to do it for $75 after I explained all that. I was relieved and very happy to have it done. I paid the $75 before leaving, the bonding lasted 3 days, and a couple months later I got a bill in the mail for over $400. For a bonding I knew might not even last, really???? I never would have agreed to this! I've explained everything after calling but no one cares the lady just keeps saying well sorry your insurance didnt cover it. Yes lady, me and Dr. Hamod both knew that very well may be the case. I was expecting him to say oh yes, I remember that conversation and fix this, but nope, all I got was sorry this needs to be paid. My prior dentist only charged $170 for the same work! BEWARE!!!
