The best dentist in Memphis! The entire staff was polite and professional. I have dental anxiety but I felt comfortable here. I highly recommend this place 10 out of 10 for me!! read more

Initially, I must say I was puzzled by the lack of attentiveness being it was my first visit however I thought it may just be me... so my thinking altered to, maybe Dr. Kutas is a veteran at this ?! Unfortunately, my instincts were right. After careful consideration and research, I read reviews informing me of the exact questionable actions I experienced. There are too many vulnerable patients that trusted Dr. Kutas whom bypassed dignity and integrity for payment of services not needed or wrongfully done in hopes of suggesting additional services. I empathize with those that have experienced this and it's unfortunate. Some may handle their situation a little differently being they were intentionally scammed for personal gain/greed while others can... If you believe a dentist is engaging in a scam, you should take specific steps to gather evidence and report the fraudulent activity to the appropriate authorities. Common signs of potential dental scams include recommending unnecessary procedures, aggressive upselling, lack of transparency in pricing, and refusal to provide X-rays or records. Warning Signs of a Potential Scam Recommending Unnecessary Treatments: Be wary if a dentist suggests extensive, expensive procedures (like numerous crowns, general anesthesia for routine work, or pulling healthy teeth for implants) without clear evidence or explanation. Refusal to Provide Records or X-rays: A trustworthy dentist will share your records and X-rays and encourages a second opinion. Refusal to do so is a major warning sign. Aggressive Upselling and Pressure: Feeling pressured into making an immediate, expensive decision on the spot is a red flag. Inaccurate Billing/Insurance Issues: Issues like incorrect insurance estimates, billing for services not performed (upcoding), or not applying payments correctly are serious concerns. Poor Office Practices: High staff turnover or a lack of cleanliness can indicate an unprofessional environment focused on profit over patient care. Steps to Take if You Suspect a Scam Gather Documentation: Obtain an itemized bill: You have a right to a fully itemized bill detailing all services and costs. Request dental records: Get copies of your X-rays, treatment plans, and clinical notes. Document communications: Keep records of all texts, emails, and notes from phone calls with the dental office and your insurance company. Get a Second Opinion: Consult with an independent, reputable dentist (preferably not associated with the same corporate chain, if applicable). Provide them with your existing records and X-rays and ask for their assessment of your oral health and the recommended treatment plan. Contact Your Insurance Company: Report the situation to your dental insurance provider. They have a financial incentive to investigate fraud and can request an audit or reclaim funds. File Formal Complaints: State Dental Board: Report procedural issues and unnecessary treatments to your state's dental board. They are responsible for licensing and regulating dentists. State Attorney General: Contact this office to report billing irregularities and credit issues. Federal Trade Commission (FTC): File a complaint online with the FTC to report fraudulent business practices. Better Business Bureau (BBB): While they have no legal authority, complaints to the BBB help create a public record and warning for other patients. FBI: In cases of significant health care fraud, the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) may also be relevant. Seek Legal Counsel: For significant financial loss or medical malpractice, consider consulting a personal injury or malpractice attorney. read more

These guys are extremely money driven. I was misinformed about the cost of a cap and they just got rude about everything. Refused to accept monthly payments after they said they would. read more

The whole staff was a pleasant surprise. Dr. Kutas had great bedside manner and explained the procedures and aftercare thoroughly. I had little to no pain. read more

Dr. Kutas is a great dentist. I have been a patient for years. You can get an appointment promptly. You are seen promptly. His staff is professional and courteous, too. read more

Poor service. One visit and done. When I switched dentists, they said they only had one X-ray though I took multiple X-rays. #Yelp901 read more

best dentist ever, super understanding about the incredible fear that happens at the dentist and incredibly affordable

Been coming here for years. The staff is very friendly and my cleanings are done quickly. Dr. Kutas can come off a little blunt but he is a nice guy as well. read more

I went and was highly pleased with all parts of my visit. I had two teeth removed. It's easy to get on any website and criticize but it takes true belief that a product or service is good to write a good review. This is a good review for Dr. Kutas and the staff I met. Noone likes to go to the dentist but when you are in pain and NEED a dentist the only thing you want to know is where can I find a good dentist. Dr. Kutas is a good dentist.. Any issues I had were discussed and I felt in good hands. And it turns out I made the right decision to choose this dentist. Peace, Steve and Kelly read more

Kutas drilled a hole in my tongue and refused to pay for treatment even after several months of pain, loss of sleep and trouble eating

My husband and I both have been to this office now after recently moving to Memphis. My experience was that the staff is unprofessional and loud. My husband had a procedure and did not get any instructions for what to expect after the numbing agent wore off. Luckily I am in the medial field myself and knew what to do. I plan on switching our dental care as soon as I can. This dentist does not explain anything to the patients and I am very disappointed with his bedside manor. read more

Avoid at all costs!!! I had two crowns done by him a couple of years ago. He didn't fit them on right and now I have decay and both have to be replaced! He is not a painless dentist either! He's rough and when he put my permanent crowns on (both at the same time) he didn't even numb me, knowing that I did not have root canals done on those teeth! My husband uses him and constantly has his crowns falling out. In addition, a few months ago he went in to have a small filling, which turned into a root canal and crown by the time this butcher was done. If you're new in Memphis and looking for a dentist, I highly recommend Dr. Scott Edwards or Dr. Greg Kemp. Don't waste you money or tooth health on this guy! read more

Dr. Kutas and his staff are wonderful, friendly, and give great customer service. Dr. Kutas himself listens to what you have to say and is very easy to work with. My wife and I have been with him for a while and I highly recommend him for dental work! read more

Kutas is the worst dentist I have been to - I literally did not realize they could be this bad. Besides the fact that he keeps a dirty looking office, smokes and then sticks his smelly fingers in your mouth.. I needed to have two front temporary crowns replaced with something permanent. Had I known what I was in for, I would have left the temps in place as there was no issue besides the fact they were temporary and years old - yet fit and looked just like every other tooth - completely unnoticeable. Kutas recommended the replacement. The replacements were much bigger than the previous teeth - so without telling me he grounded the edges off the sides of my surrounding permanent teeth to make the crowns fit. And the crowns looked terrible. When I asked about the appearance, I was told that they all looked that way and would look natural as soon my gums accommodated the new crowns. And they just looked terrible - people from work noticed that I had work done from as far away as down a short hall. After multiple comments, I had the crowns redone as an out pocket expense as insurance had already been spent on the two awful crowns. I called my insurance company and Kutas and they would not pay for the rework so this cost me a few extra grand. And I'm still left with the two teeth that he ground off so each is about half of their original size - with only whatever compound they use to try and make up for the other half - which is probably noticeable. If I have them properly replaced, this will cost at least a grand a tooth and will not be covered by insurance as well - so another 2 grand because of this guy. This guys is awful - would not trust them for anything more than a simple cleaning read more

I hate having my teeth worked on! That drilling sound is awful. I have bad teeth, and this was my 15th crown. Although I hate going to the dentist, I enjoy going to Dr. Kutas' office. The people there are great, and Dr. Kutas makes me feel safe. I have been going to Dr. Kutas for 14 years now. I consider them all friends! read more

Dr. Kutas and his staff are wonderful. I had to have my front lower teeth crowned due to a car accident several years ago. Dr. Kutas did a wonderful job, my smile and teeth are so much better than before. Thanks to Dr. Kutas for a great job and to his friendly staff!! read more

I have had dental issues most of my life and grew to absolutely dread going to the dentist. The last one I went to had no sensitivity or concern whatsoever: she wanted her money. She even told one patient who came to her in agony to "suck it up." In similar fashion, her staff were robotic Stepford wives programmed for rudeness and extortion. This man was recommended to me by multiple colleagues, and since I have been going to him, I have never been more pleased. He is a gentle giant and a superb dentist. His staff treats me like family, they are fair in terms of cost, and I wouldn't leave them for the world. If I had one critique it would be that the staff and he stay very busy and may not anticipate questions, so speak up: he will listen. Perhaps naysayers might consider whether or not they were good patients. read more

When I first found Dr. Kutas he was a small office with friendly staff. The new office is warm and friendly when you enter, however the attitude of the dentist and his staff have changed through the years. He took on an attitude when he did not read my chart and take directions to my latex allergy and need for n20 as if it is my fault I did not say anything to him. I have never had to explain my chart to to a dentist while he is sitting in front of it pulled up on a computer. I had two crown fittings and each crown broke and he refused to replace either one. I am a self paying customer and I know the crown does have a warranty on them if they are less than a year old. I do not feel as this office gives customers respect. read more

Dr. Kutas and his staff are the greatest, I have never ever had any problem with him nor his staff. They are always professional and friendly and very informative. He took the brace off my daughters teeth without charging us anything. He also has the best manners, he listen and often make great suggestion on how to continue with proper oral care. I have an phobia of the dentist and he has help me overcome that phobia. He's still the best dentist I have encounter and his staff is too.He is the greatest dentist I have been too. He's not only gentle he has the best staff and atmosphere ever. I enjoy the professionalism and how the staff explain an procedure before you have it done. read more

Love Dr. Kutas and his staff! I needed a crown and they got me in quickly and did a great job! Thank you!

If there was a 10 star I would give it! The staff and Dr. Kutas are the best. Very kind, understanding , personable, professional and very thorough. Dr. Kutas and his staff make going to the dentist a pleasurable experience ! read more

Horrible service! He is extremely rude with absolutely no bedside manner. He didn't explain the procedure even after I asked him to. Didn't communicate with me at all through the procedure. And to top it off, he performed the root canal poorly so I have to have another one done and my crown developed a hole in it and subsequently just fell out! So I will now be stuck with the bill as insurance will not pay for it! Choose your dentist wisely! Avoid this dentist at all costs! read more

Dr. Kutas is not just my favorite dentist in Memphis, he is my favorite health care professional in any field, in any city in North America. He has a wonderful bedside manner, which matters quite a bit for a dentist, and his staff is just as kind and soothing. The work he has done on my bad Anglo teeth has stood the test of time. If you have to be treated by a dentist, you want this to be the man. I have flown back to Memphis from California just to have him take care of me. His prices are much better than any other dentist I have seen, but I would pay twice as much for this level of quality and care. read more
