BEWARE. This office practices some very shady tactics with billing and insurance. Fair warning,…read morecheck all your claims because even if you don't technically pay out of pocket, it'll eat into your maximum coverage and benefits. I came for a free invisalign consultation after seeing an ad for "Align Your Teeth" day last year. It promised a free consultation and free scan and I was in the process of screening offices for treatment. At first this seemed okay, but I wasn't feeling their "vibe" even before going in. They sent me way too many emails and texts before going into my appointment to the point where it was suffocating. Walking in, the office was well maintained but had a sort of gimmicky vibe that I can't place my finger on. The appointment was fine and I started to rethink my prior opinion. I was considering even switching to them for my regular dental cleanings/treatment as the staff was friendly. Although I will note that the assistant/hygenist who was helping me during the consultation was strangely more involved with planning my treatment than the actual dentist. No offense to her because she was very kind, but I think it was weird that she was trying to diagnose me which she wasn't qualified to do, while the dentist seemed a little disinterested. Can't blame her since it was a "free" consultation, but something to note. Weeks later, I go to check my dental claims and noticed that this office billed me for 2 services equalling to $650 which was outrageous. The first claim was for a panoramic xray that I thought was included in the consultation. Upon calling the office, I was told "the consulation is free, but we bill the insurance for whatever we can". I told her, lucky for me I haven't gotten an xray done in the last 60 months or else I would have had to pay out of pocket. I told her that I was never notified that this would be an additional charge and she told me it was my fault for not asking and essentially trying to make me feel like I was stupid/crazy. Even though it happened to be covered this time, this is an issue of highly unethical behavior. I wouldn't trust them with my health if they're like this on the billing side of things just because I didn't proceed with treatment. The second charge according to the charge code was for diagnostic study models. The insurance rejected it and it ended up falling under my name and could have potentially made me delinquent to a creditor or collector. If it had gone through and billed to ortho like they intended, it would have eaten 30% of my lifetime orthodontia coverage, which is even worse. The person I spoke with was very dismissive with me in her tone and language until she realized that I had conference called her with my insurance on the line and she quickly changed her tune. All of a sudden she was more than happy to remove the second charge from my account and offer to send me my xrays. ALWAYS CHECK YOUR CLAIMS. I was actually impressed that they hadn't tried to upsell me for treatments like I've experienced at many other dental offices, but now I realize that it's because they try to fly under the radar and charge insurances directly. Just because they're charging a corporation and not an individual doesn't make it ethically or morally ok to go behind a patient's back. I am so glad I went with my gut and decided to go with another provider. This office is super shady and untrustworthy. They may seem sickly sweet & nice while they are trying to reel you in, but that can very quickly turn when they know that you're on to their facade of corrupt ethical practices. Moral of the story, shop around for the provider you're most comfortable with and don't get pressured by anyone!!!

She was aggressive in her treatment approach and recommended multiple fillings on teeth that, in hindsight, most likely could have been monitored instead of drilled. Because I was sedated, she was able to do a lot of work at once, and I believe she took advantage of the fact that I wasn't fully aware of what was happening. After the procedure, I was in immense pain, which I now realize was likely due to how aggressively she worked on my teeth. When I came back for a follow-up appointment because of the pain, she seemed impatient and dismissive instead of sympathetic. During that visit, she and her front desk staff were gossiping about her upcoming date, and she kept glancing at her watch while wearing 6-inch Louis Vuitton heels, clearly eager to leave rather than focus on my concerns. This happened about 6 years ago, but I still remember how painful and upsetting the experience was. Since then, I've become close with several dentists who have reviewed my X-rays, and each of them expressed their apologies and surprise that Dr. Middleton was so aggressive in her treatment. That really confirmed my concerns. Overall, I left feeling taken advantage of, dismissed, and overtreated. I wouldn't recommend this office based on my experience.

Irina did my x-rays quickly and checked in the whole time to make sure I was comfortable. She made the process so easy and seamless. Dr. Meadows was personable, comforting, and so easy to talk to. He didn't pressure me to get anything done like other places have. Instead, he explained things clearly and made it all understandable, even for someone who didn't go to school for dentistry. And yes, I got a goodie tote bag and was way too excited about it. I honestly don't want to leave San Diego just because I never want to deal with finding a new dentist again.
