I recently had a bad experience at another office that reminded me how much I enjoy this place and their professionalism as well. It's just kindness. Dr Collaizey Is really a wonderful guy. He makes you feel like he genuinely cares about your teeth and their health and how it affects you as well as your budget. Everything feels well explained and not like you're getting ripped off. I think it's pretty rare that you find a dentist that you enjoy going to and I think this would be my first review of one, but their office definitely deserves it. All around just a wonderful place to go to I think.

To give this Dentistry by Design a 1-star rating is very generous on my part. This is a horrible…read morevendor on so many levels. I obtained a treatment plan and the cost of this plan from my dentist in Florida. Since there was extensive work required the amount of this plan was very high. Before, I committed to starting this treatment, I was going to obtain two more estimates and obtain additional treatment plans. Dr. Rizvi is a dentist in my insurance network. Although I had been to this facility in the past, I was not overly impressed with it. However, in reviewing Dr. Rizvi credentials on the website, I was impressed with him. I was led to believe from his website that he could do the extractions and do the implants. I emailed Dr. Rizvi from Florida and told him I wanted another opinion and could he give me an opinion and a treatment plan. Dr. Rizvi agreed to meet with me and said this visit would be of no charge. Not only did he charge me for this visit he did not give me a treatment plan and an opinion. His solution was to make referrals to an oral surgeon for extractions and a periodontist for implants. I declined his referrals as my current periodontist would do the extractions and implants. I went in for a cleaning at Dentistry by Design. The hygienist was planning to do x-rays which I declined, and I explained to her that my periodontist had done x-rays and in the past week and that I had paid $596 for this work. I had given Dr. Rizvi a flash drive of these x-rays. She appeared to be miffed at my refusal for x-rays and asked the dentist if she should proceed with the cleaning without x-rays. She did proceed with an abbreviated cleaning as it only took 15 minutes, and cleaning usually takes about 45 minutes to an hour. I emailed Dr. Rizvi and requested that he not invoice my insurance. I explained to him that since the hygienist had done such a shotty job, I was going to have to have them recleaned. Dr. Rizvi did not call me to further discuss this matter, but he did bill my insurance company. Not only did they invoice the insurance company, but the explanation of benefits showed that they showed a tax on the service. I called the business agent and told her I did not think taxing me for this service was legal. She assured me that it was legal. I contacted my insurance company, and I was informed that I should not be taxed. I again called the business agent at Dentistry by Design, and I was told it was a provider free even though on the explanation of benefits it clearly states it is a tax. I again called the insurance company and was told that a provider fee was not legal if it was an in-network provider. The insurance company said they were going to file a complaint against Dentistry by Design. Another concern is with the appliance that was made when my front teeth were extracted. This appliance is poor fitting, and it is causing multiple sores in my mouth. In a recent visit to another dentist, she filed the appliance and so it fits better. A lesser concern is their poor communication with me. They were to call when my appliance was ready, which they never did. I had to call them and when I asked if the appliance was in, they said they needed to check and was told they would call me back, which they never did. I had to call them, and they told me it was ready, but I needed to wait to see if I could pick it up. Once again, I had to make another call about the pick up of the appliance. Another concern was bad information about pricing. I also inquired about the cost of crowns for my implants, and I was told $7,000 per implant. This seemed to be an extraordinary cost as most crowns range from $2,300 to $3000. I again questioned the fee and a different person said she thought the original quote was for a total implant even though when I questioned the first person about the crowns, I made it clear I was only talking about the crowns she gave me this very high quote. It should also be noted that my experience with Dr. Rizvi reveals that he does not do implants. It should also be noted the internet shows Dr. Rizvi as an oral surgeon, and yet he was going to refer me to an oral surgeon for my extracts. Mary Ann

On my…read moresecond visit, I was told that my insurance was considered out of network BUT that they had MANY patients with my insurance and they would work to get most of my visit covered (it was just a routine cleaning and X-rays). the hygienist was lovely and very kind and sympathetic. I had to wait in the chair for a very long time after the cleaning to speak with the doctor (so long I had to make calls to cancel things and make alternate arrangements for my kids). When the dentist finally came in, she started a conversation about the high costs of running a dental practice?!? (We had only met one time before this). She then seemed shocked when she presented her very elaborate plan to me and I responded with "yes, lets please start with the most urgent and space treatment out because cost is a very serious concern and barrier". she then sent her hygienist in to ask me if I wanted veneers!!!!!! months later, a $500 bill arrived..... that did not at all match any of the estimates and promises I had been given for a simple cleaning and xrays. now that I am here looking through other reviews, I see that this is something other patients have experienced as well. truly unfortunate since it is a nice office with a great premise.

I was treated poorly from the moment I walked in. The staff and dentist showed absolutely no compassion, even though I was clearly in distress. I was fitted with a retainer that doesn't fit correctly and has actually scrunched my teeth together. When I came to pick it up, I was in the office for less than five minutes. They handed me the retainer and sent me to a bathroom to put it in myself. No one checked the fit, no one explained how to care for it, and no one gave any guidance on long‑term use. I was handed a case and dismissed. Every visit I had there, the staff and dentist were extremely rude and dismissive. I left feeling worse each time. Now I have to find a new dentist to fix the damage, and I'm terrified of going through another traumatic experience because of how I was treated here. I would not recommend Modern Day Dental to anyone seeking compassionate or competent care.

I was recommended by my parents - so its a family thing! I see Samantha for cleaning - I always wish I could just spend more time talking to her - she's so friendly and easy going. We all know it's impossible to have a meaningful conversation with your hygienist since your mouth is wide open the entire time -- but what I have learned about her, I like! Sam is efficient and thorough and gives excellent/intelligent advice. Dr. Mike is great. I really get the feeling that he cares about me - not just my mouth and teeth, but me! I have pretty good teeth so I haven't had to have a lot of procedures done - he's done a great job on the few things I did need (fillings). His assistant, Liz, is funny and nice too. The two of them have a really fun banter that is entertaining to observe from the chair. The ladies at the front desk are really friendly and efficient too. They are great at helping to navigate insurance policies! The office is conveniently located at University and Broadway in NE Minneapolis.
