Lacked the efficiency on producing the best outcomes of my surgery. Did not smile or seem to…read moresympathize with such an experience of an expensive surgery. Very negative experience. Did not seem to care about meeting a patients needs. Most of all ! They had me take an unnecessary CT scan costing me $400 out of pocket just to tell me to wait a couple of months as they did prior to CT scan... I've asked them to send over paperwork for release of information for CT, they sent the wrong paperwork. They also were to send out the paper to my chosen oral surgeon and never sent it out! It's been over 2 weeks. So frustrating. I never make reviews but people need to know what they're investing into! I've gone to other sources/companies and never received the same negativity and carelessness.

I had been putting off my wisdom tooth removal until the absolute last second. I woke up one day…read moreand the pain was too much and I thought I may have an infection. I called OMS and they got me in that day and basically confirmed I needed them out. We set up the appointment for the following week and I had Kirby Johnson do the surgery. He was so informative, helpful, and kind. I felt comfortable the entire time and the healing process was very doable. The staff were very communicative and helpful and I got a pint of ice cream at the end. Overall a 10/10 experience and I would trust them to do it again!

Let me preface with: I hate the dentist. Always have, and probably, always will. Now that I have…read moregotten that off my chest, let's begin, shall we? The staff here is friendly and professional. They walked me through whatever they were working on, letting me know what was happening at all times. They pulled together a great plan to let me know what my options were and let me decide at my leisure. However, the hygienist seemed in a rush. I've never seen anyone scrape teeth that fast, and let me tell you, my gums still feel it nearly a week later. That would be why they got a lower rating. All in all, I would say I hate this dentist less than most, and that's about the highest compliment I can offer for that particular profession. (I really, really don't like going, nothing against this particular office).

Alina Maria Stangu - Practice Manager - Park Dental Edina…read more Poor insurance approval process. I was repeatedly asked to provide payment more than 1 year after a crown, without clear explanation or documentation regarding the status of insurance appeals on why coverage was denied. Pre-authorization was not obtained. Alina demanded payment with no explanation on how to alleviate issue on approval and proper documentation for the 2nd crown. The first crown was presented as medically necessary, with the explanation that failure to proceed could result in a root canal which is why we proceeded. Given the importance of this treatment, the lack of clear communication, documentation and transparency around insurance appeals was particularly concerning. Overall, the process reflected poor communication, insufficient documentation and inadequate explanation regarding insurance handling and patient financial responsibility. Extremely unprofessional and very disappointed in the service.

I was referred to Dr. Ballin to get my wisdom teeth removed. Everything went perfectly…read more The people at the front desk were very clear and friendly with what needed to be done, how long it would take, and any pricing questions. The day of the operation was very straightforward. One of the people even walked me to my car to make sure I was okay. Dr. Ballin took the time to make sure I understood exactly what would happen during the operation. The instructions provided were very clear and easy to understand for the upcoming week of healing and they even sent me a letter! As great of an experience as I could have hoped for considering two teeth were being taken out of my mouth :) Highly, highly recommend.

I saw Dr. Ballin to have a growth on my tongue removed and another time for a consult to have my…read morewisdom teeth removed. This office is a well-oiled machine and runs so incredibly smoothly. I was very impressed. Dr. Ballin was matter of fact but kind, however, during my procedure I became a bit scared due to medical PTSD from an extended hospital stay because of being caught in a house fire. Something triggered that, and I began to mildly hyperventilate. Rather than speak kindly and softly to me to try to calm me down, Dr. Ballin became irritated and snapped at me to calm down and not hyperventilate. This did not help. When I went to see him for the wisdom tooth removal consult, totally unprompted, he told me, "Because of how your throat is built, you would still have sleep apnea even if you weren't so heavy." Thanks for the comment on my weight, sir, but pretty sure I did not ask for your opinion either on that or on sleep apnea. He lost my business after this. I now use OMS. If you're thin, he's a great oral surgeon, but if you're "heavy" I'd suggest avoiding his practice since he seems to be unable to keep his thoughts on appearance to himself.
