    Let me start by saying I had a massive fear of the dentist…read more Keyword there is "HAD" haha not anymore! ZERO PAIN ZERO ANXIETY! Dr. Banks and staff are without a doubt the finest dental team in the world. People are like "uh I really like my own dentist" nah, just save it. This isn't arguable. It's a fact. Give these gals all the dental awards. ALL OF THEM! I will 100% be back for my 6 month cleaning. I'm not just gonna totally lie like I always do to other dentists. I cannot say enough good things about my experience. 50,000 gold stars! I would have paid triple for that kind of care. Highly recommend.

    They were billing 2 different dental insurance companies we had and not doing coordination of…read morebenefits. The 2 coverages we had did not know about the other companies so they were both being billed as primaries. This dental company was collecting more than the original bill amount. This company had to pay back money to the secondary insurance company. If you have 2 insurance coverage companies, watch the billing. A woman in that department attempted to gaslight me and make me feel like I was the one making a mistake. It was clear who was in the wrong when they paid the secondary insurance company back what was owed back to them. When I transferred to a different dentist, I requested records from this fraudulent dental billing. I was then once again gaslighted and was told I would have to pay for the records to be transferred. I threatened to turn everything over to the Ohio State Attorney General's office. Needless to say I did not pay to have those records transferred. And no, this is not my real name. I am choosing to use an alias to protect my anonymity.

    Staff was wonderful. Making of a lower denture after pulling the teeth was not. Amateur hour at the…read moredentist. Dr. Hallock did not seem too concerned about the bone he left exposed after pulling my bottom teeth. The denture he made was not much of a denture. Too big for my mouth and made lots of sores that were hard to get rid off. I just stopped going and instead went to a dentist that was finally able to make the denture fit and cleared up the sores. I honestly would never use him again and have told friends and family not to go to him.

    Nice try getting my review removed, but people deserve to hear the truth…read more Before I made the apt I advised them that I had a referall for a root canal but wanted an extraction instead, & asked if the dentist can perform the extraction to which they said "yes". But after meeting Hallock & seeing his blatant bias viewpoint for root canals, I'm wondering why in the heck I wasn't just referred to an Endodontist in the first place!? First off -- he was so annoyed from the get go but he was the one who was 45 minutes late. Don't be irritated with me when I'm polite & waited patently just because I requested an extraction for my first apt LOL He made unfair assumptions about me being a Holistic quack because I wanted a decayed tooth removed. He asked "how will you eat"? & "why remove it if its not hurting & there's very little infection?" Well DOC, if you would have BOTHERED to listen without making unfair assumptions, sighing & interrupting repeatedly & being so patronizing -- you would know that I've already seen multiple dentists about this tooth for the last 2 years & have had MULTIPLE root canals so I think I've had adequate time to think this over! I didn't appreciate his assumption that I'm making some rash decision. It's not one I made lightly, I even lost weight over this because we should not be pulling our teeth. But we ALSO shouldn't be getting root canals!! So people making these tough yet proper treatment choices need SUPPORT not discouragement! I wanted to get this over with but was instead met with a repetitive lecture. The last dentist who pulled my 2 root canaled/decayed teeth didn't fear monger or try to upsell me like a used car salesman! And FYI -- Credentials do not have a monopoly on knowledge, experience.. OR politeness which is clearly evident in this case. He had the worst bedside manner of any medical "professional" I've ever met & I've met quite a handful! He wanted to make sure I was "informed". Ok Doc well being "informed" is knowing that root canal teeth are DECAYED teeth! But dentists will grind down perfectly HEALTHY teeth to give you veneers while calling YOU crazy for wanting decayed teeth removed??!! OK LOL See where this is going? $$$! He clearly felt threatened & challenged by me actually being informed & choosing health over his bottom line -- so he rushed my appointment before saying he would do the extraction if I wanted. Ummmm ABSOLUTELY NOT! But he knew exactly what he was doing. He wanted me to be uncomfortable so I wouldn't do it. His "expert" opinion is that a 33 year old is too young to remove their teeth & that implants can fail. But wait -- root canals ALSO FAIL! As a matter of FACT the success rates ranging between 70-85% while IMPLANTS in general with proper care have a success rate of up to 98%!!!!! So why on EARTH would a dentist be so ignorant & try to scare me into spending MORE money in the long run to keep a DECAYING tooth when the data clearly shows that it's much healthier & cost effective in the long run to pull it while I'm still young & have a better chance of healing??? I could care less if we disagree or not -- but don't LIE & mislead people! Just because someone makes an unconventional choice doesn't make it wrong. Last but not least, I find it interesting how he URGED me the entire appointment to save that tooth but I literally JUST left an appointment from my new dentist who recommended I remove it after seeing the xray. LOL Interesting?! Point being -- trust your gut! He even gave me an option to put a crown on it instead of an implant so I advise anyone reading this to check out Dr. Zhang from zealous dental.
