Verified the $200 card charge that I was signing when I was leaving. Then a charge of $427.45 showed up. Apparently, they also charged my insurance on top of that, for a consult and CT. I was an ICU/ER/NICU RN, ran a department in a hospital and understand overbilling when I see it. Go to Tar Heel. Great people. Up front billing.

From the initial consult that wouldn't have been possible without the assistance of Emerald Dentistry (thank you to all of you there as well) to the appointment setting with Ashley and the follow up to the commitment for an early morning appointment, top notch experience. I was a bit anxious as I have never been sedated but Reese made the experience easy and walked me through my questions and the process. Dr. Santos was also great, making the extractions pain free and easy before Reese assisted me back to my waiting ride. I am disappointed in myself that I let apprehensions hold me back from doing this earlier last year, but very glad I did this year and that this Team could do it. Highly recommend, and " hopefully I won't have to" but if the need arises again, NuImage and their team is who I'm turning to for oral surgical needs. Thank you!

I have a dentist who is pretty unconcerned with my gum issues, but my gums are receding and I'm in a losing battle with my oral health so I called this office to inquire about being a patient and was told they wouldn't accept me without getting a referral from my dentist. I literally started crying on the phone and she could care less. Then I hopped on Yelp and see all their negative reviews and I guess I dodged a bullet here.

    Let me start by saying my Free Gingival Graft was the first "surgery" I have ever had. Coming from…read morea woman with a pretty strong dental anxiety, and even more so just anxiety in general, let me tell you, I was legitimately scared, anxious, and nervous when I found out from my dentist this procedure was going to have to happen sooner than later. I had my consultation 2 weeks ago. The office is beautiful, peaceful, and actually relaxing. Dr. McKenzie is my provider, Amy was my assistant, and Debbie my Treatment Coordinator during that visit. They knew I was incredibly nervous and skeptical, but it was more than obvious they know what they are doing. Dr. McKenzie has a great bedside manner, as well as Amy (who really needed to distract me while taking my impression for my stent) and was able to provide answers to all of my questions since this first meeting. Amy and Debbie were also incredibly patient, kind, and knowledgeable. It did not take Dr. McKenzie long at all to realize exactly what procedure I needed done, and of course I already knew with my research, answer-seeking and overthinking. Ha! I went over the procedure, payment/payment options, and my mountainous list of questions during the consultation and was able to get scheduled for the following week, so here we are, my first surgery scheduled! I probably called Debbie 4 different times for questions and an early RX request (to ensure I would have it the night prior). Once again, happily answered all of my questions and was kind, patient, and even funny! I loved working with Debbie and would highly recommend her and her team! The day of procedure, I got there 15 minutes early, bright and early at 6:45. My parents went with me since I was getting IV sedation, but also nerves of course. So when they called me back and sat me down, I was probably the most nervous, because hey, anxiety. However, Dr. McKenzie came in to answer any more questions and made me feel better about the whole procedure. Amy, and the anesthesiologist also did, and told me exactly what would happen, as I have never been sedated like that before. They told me it was normal for my heart rate to be high, hey, anxiety again, and it would be over before I knew it. When I got the IV, that is actually the last thing I remember, and before I knew it I was up and the procedure was done. It took 45 minutes. IV sedation - highly recommend if you have dental anxiety, or anxiety at all! Lets talk about the pain now, this was one of my many concerns. I have a decent pain tolerance but when it comes to my mouth, hey that's a sensitive place! With my procedure, they removed tissue from the roof of my mouth and sewed it onto my front gums for the graft. It sounds horrible - yes. However, I was not aware of any of this happening. Once again - grab that IV sedation while it's hot. I did not feel any pain on the roof of my mouth until the next day, and with the pain medicine RX, it definitely helped. I took that and Advil throughout the healing process. The gums were a bit sore for a few days, but to be completely honest, so much less sore than I thought! I was also provided a stent which TRULY protects and limits your pallet pain. I am baffled at how any providers would not opt for providing this piece of the healing process. For the first few days, you want to stick with cold + soft foods such as ice cream, applesauce, shakes, smoothies - but they will give you all of this information ahead of time. Also, I miss pizza. Dr. McKenzie not only called to check on me the day after my surgery, I was able to text him questions a few days later and he responded right away. Longest Yelp review yet but my view on this surgery has changed completely, thanks to the patience, knowledge, and way my experience went with Dr. McKenzie and his team. Thank you!

I explained this to them and they gave me a hard time but cancelled it and said just call back to re-schedule. Long story short they cancelled ALL future appointments and when I went in for the next appt. 3 of the women upfront ganged up on me and argued with me about the appt., it was all ridiculous because I missed 1 appt. I never go on here and say anything about any company wherher I have had a good or bad experienc. But I must say these people are fake and the dentist was not that great but after spending 7 grande all of a sudden they gang up on me for missing that appointment and saying I should go somewhere else. it was so dumb!! They had no problem with me coming 5 other times before that but since I missed an appt! i was a problem. I didn't yell or curse at them but since I disagreed with them I was a terrible person! Anyway....there are Dentists on every corner here so that is no problem and I didn't really like going there. It's all women there and the blonde with the bad perm is the worst and they are all pretty frumpy so maybe they are just miserable, but if you have to cancel an appointment be prepared!!!!!

However, my time and energy have been wasted on several occasions by the front desk staff to the point that I am choosing a different dental office to visit. Two of my appointments in the past few months were cancelled within 48 hours. This is extremely unprofessional. I have 3 cleanings per year through Delta Dental. I was told on two separate appointments by Aspen Dental staff that I owed out of pocket for these cleanings, which I know is not true. This time, I was told that I needed to wait 30-45 calendar days for Aspen Dental to verify my insurance. As soon as I called Delta Dental, they confirmed that this could be confirmed online within 30 seconds. I waited on a 3 way call for Aspen Dental to figure out my plan on their end and they couldn't do it after 20 minutes on the phone. It seemed like laziness to me. Delta Dental staff confirmed with me that this issue should not be happening. It seemed like this was Aspen Dental's first day in dealing with insurance so I took my service elsewhere
