After reading the reviews I felt obligated to voice my opinions of my first experience at Aspen. I…read morewas not looking forward to going to any dentist, and have avoided it for years due to past experiences with local dentists in my area who were rude, too rough, impersonal, etc. But, lucky me I broke a tooth and made a decision to get it fixed along with anything else at the same time. I was able to been seen right away, instead of having to schedule a month out or more like most local dentist offices. I asked for a female dentist, as the males I have had in the past were the same ones with the attributes I mentioned above.
My first visit I was full of anxiety, nervous, etc. Then I found out that my dentist that day would be a male as no females were on duty. I wasn't happy at first, very nervous, but was assured that he was awesome. Let me assure you, Dr. Kurt Losier is in fact AWESOME. Honestly, I would prefer him in the future. So personable, caring, and an expert in his field.
As far as billing/cost, if you don't ask questions that's your own fault. Yes, I was presented with a rather large quote on what I needed done, but when I stated I couldn't afford that, the dentist and the finance rep were able to adjust to what was needed most as far as procedures, then I was informed of an insurance they offered that cost me only $99 a year, but ended up saving me $805 off my bill. Totally worth it. Needless to say, we got to a reasonable agreeable amount. The staff are all very friendly and made this first visit in over 15 years for me, the best I can remember ever having. You don't have to agree to anything unless you chose. You are given a breakdown of what the dentist suggests needs done, but you are also given choices, and information like I was, on addtional insurance if you have none or if your current insurance has ample coverage, like mine. As far as the poor reviews, I beleive they are such due to lack of knowledge and persistence on the writer's end. So if you aren't sure, take my advice and at least give them a try. Too many will write of a bad experience, very few will write of great ones.
