I recently had my 6 month cleaning and exam at Oak Dental Associates. I would HIGHLY recommend…read morethis office. The office staff is extremely friendly- they truly make you feel comfortable and welcome. They hygienist, Rita Bais was fantastic- she was extremely friendly and informative. My teeth feel great! Dr. Chris Pallotto is a gem! His attention to detail is unlike any dentist I have experienced. He also makes you feel very comfortable with his kind character. If you are looking for a dentist office- this is a great place to go!

Then decided to call me at 1:52pm for a 2pm appt to tell me that the insurance provided was out of network. They took down all my information when I made the appointment and could've checked that long before 8 minutes before my appointment. Then had the audacity to try to sell me on their garbage cleaning plan when I clearly have insurance. Dont bother to go here they're lost.

Dr. Elhindi is an excellent dentist! After my wisdom teeth appointment at another location was…read morecanceled, he was able to see me on short notice and remove my wisdom teeth the same day.

I am very grateful for his care and highly recommend him and his team.

I am posting this because after reading other low reviews for Smile Obsession locations, I see that…read moremy experience was not isolated. Other patients have complained about appointments not being handled properly, concerns not being addressed, rushed cleanings, long waits, staff being unfriendly, billing concerns, cavities not being filled right, poor denture work, uneven dentures, and the list goes on. They also said cavities were not filled right. People were told to keep coming back because it was the end of the year and to use all the money. There were complaints about poor denture work, uneven dentures, and the list goes on. My situation is even worse because I was kicked out from returning after I complained and left honest reviews about my experience. I checked, and all my reviews -- the ones I made before -- were positive until now. I had actually praised Dr. Carson because I did like him and felt he helped me, but that does not erase the problems I experienced with the office. I gave this place several chances. I had appointments where I showed up and was told I did not have an appointment, even though I had screenshots proving I did. That wasted my time, my transportation, and my energy. I also have serious health issues, including heart failure, high blood pressure, back problems, and difficulty walking. During one visit, after dental work, my blood pressure was extremely high, I could barely stand or walk, and instead of showing real concern, I felt rushed out. I also had concerns about my dental work, including my bridge not feeling right and not looking even. Other people are now complaining about poor dental work too, including fillings, dentures, uneven dental work, and dentures or bridges not being measured correctly. They can contact Google review staff and have bad reviews deleted or hidden, while only showing mostly positive reviews, so keep that in mind when you go. They triple charge you for denture work and do not measure your teeth correctly, so your dentures or bridges may be messed up. Never trust Google reviews alone because businesses can pay to have reviews deleted or hidden and only show positive reviews. Click "lowest reviews" and read what other patients are saying before you go. I was still willing to give them a chance, but after I complained by email, contacted leadership, and posted honest reviews, I was told I could no longer come back. That feels like retaliation against a patient for speaking up. Looking at the other reviews, I see a pattern: patients saying their main reason for the visit was not addressed, cleanings felt rushed, waits were long, dental work was not done properly, billing was questionable, cavities were not filled right, dentures were uneven, and the office changed after Smile Obsession took over. Patients have a right to tell the truth about their own experience without being punished, screamed at, embarrassed, or kicked out. This review is based on my personal experience and the pattern I see from other patients' public reviews. I would tell anyone considering this office to read the lowest reviews first, not just the positive ones. People deserve to know how patients are treated when something goes wrong.

As a patient who's been coming for several years, today 11/10/22 was a huge disappointment!…read more My appointment was at 11:30 I wasn't asked to come to the back until 12. The heavy set assistant put the bib around me, asked if I wanted to watch tv, I said no, she left. About 12:15 I sat up in the seat to see if I could get someone's attention, to ask when I would be seen. The assistant came into the room and said, the doctor is with another patient she will be in shortly. I asked her, is this new, for patients to wait almost an hour before they are seen? She said, Dr. Marshall is on vacation so the other dentist is taking his patients. As we were speaking the Dentist walked into the room and said, what's the problem? I said, I've been waiting almost an hour. She said, no your appointment was at, before she could get it out I said, 1130 . She said, so you've been waiting about 30 minutes, it's 1210 I said no, it's actually 1220. She nonchalantly shrugged her shoulders and said, emergencies happen. The way she looked at me was as if to say, oh well, wait til I'm done. I began to fix my purse strap, she said, are you leaving ? I said yes because you're being very rude and inconsiderate. She said, nonchalantly, ok and walked to the front desk to tell the receptionist, i wasn't being seen because i didn't want to wait. I told her, no, I'm leaving because the dentist was being extremely rude to me. I left in shock! I couldn't believe she was as rude and inconsiderate as she was. It was as if she was doing me a favor or as if i was late and she had to wait on me. I waited almost an hour to be seen, not one time did anyone apologize for my wait or show any consideration for my time. I had to find a baby sitter for my three month old baby for this appointment just for the dentist to be extremely rude to me and waste my time. I would never give my business to this practice as long as she's there! I have referred so many people to this practice from SWA, including a few family members, but I will be sure to tell them about the experience I had today so they can find a new place to go as well. Dr Marshall didn't seem to be as rude and ignorant as the female dentist that works there. I hope you clean house because she will be the cause of you losing a lot of patients. And by the way, while I was there some of the workers were talking about another worker leaving the practice ( I believe) and said, this place is going to go to shit when you leave and I was actually getting paid on time with you here. So obviously there is more going on at this practice than just that rude, nasty,ignorant female dentist!

Some good I wanted to cover more - front desk staff came out for children often to offer coloring pages and talked with them about their favorites (my youngest was in heaven) I've been to A LOT of Medicaid offices and as I stated, they are cringy, so I totally appreciate the office being so clean and welcoming in most ways. I'm also very happy to have had the opportunity to work through this issue with Chris, who clearly cares about his patients. We'll be back. Original review: The front desk staff is amazing. The dentist is meh. My biggest complaint is how they act like parents going back with the kids is the devil walking through the door. In fact, while sitting in the waiting room, I heard a parent try to see their child and were told only one parent in the room at a time. As a foster/adoptive parent I have a lot of kiddos with a lot of trauma and every one I've brought here I've had to beg the nurse for me to be with them. Yet, they take Medicaid and are not cringy so we'll keep fighting the good fight.

Absolutely horrible! My husband came for a cleaning. We asked if they were in network with our…read moreinsurance plan, they assured us that they were. After receiving his cleaning, we received a bill for over $400. I called and spoke with Jennifer (after multiple attempts to get in touch with anyone) and she said she didn't know who would say they were in network with our insurance, because they only work with 1 insurance company. She told me that she would re-bill our insurance to see if there would be any coverage. After insurance was billed again, I received a statement (over a year after the appointment) saying that we owed $193 and that the remaining portion of $224 was covered. This was in May of 2024. I paid the $193 immediately and thought I was done with it. I received a bill one week before Christmas saying that I now owed the remaining $224. I called the office immediately and Jennifer said not to worry about it and to enjoy my holiday, she would look into it. January rolled around and I never heard back, but I received a letter from a collection agency saying that that we owed $298. I called to speak to Jennifer and left multiple messages. Finally I asked to speak to someone higher up and spoke directly with the Dr. he informed me that this would be cleared up and we would look into it and get it figured out. Less than a day later and called me back and said that I had to pay collections and that the company was charging me a fee. I spoke with a collections agent and they told me that the dental office adds their own fee of 33% to all of their invoices that they send over, just for their pocket. She also told me that my invoice was sent their in October. I did not even receive and invoice until December and called immediately. I have never had a bill sent to collections. Ever. Completely shady business practice to ignore a customer and send an invoice to collections when being told the account was paid. Keep a close eye on your account, you will be sent random bills years after your appointments

I especially appreciated the before and after x-rays and the depth of explanation. He's a true professional. I could not be more grateful or impressed. Very highly recommended.

Star assured me that I would be okay (and she was right!) She told me that the doctor would take me step by step and reminded me that he does this everyday. Her smile and chill personality instantly calmed my anxiety. Dr. Vladimir Tismensky talked to me through the entire procedure- always ensuring I was pain free (which I was). At the end (which was crazy quick), he made sure I had his cell number in case of any issues (none). The hospitality was on point. I couldn't ask for a better experience! From the beginning to the end of my appointment- I felt they went above and beyond. I hope to not ever have another root canal- but if I did.. I now know the best place. Keep up the great work!!! Thank you!!!!
