Six days before my appointment, I both emailed and text to verify my insurance plan would be accepted. I received no response. On the day of my appointment, Tabatha called to harass and interrogate me for "not showing up", while gaslighting me into believing I had never reached out at all, despite the fact that I had the emails and text to prove it. Instead of admitting the mistake, she doubled down, speaking to me in a condescending tone. To make matters worse, she later openly admitted she ignored my messages because she felt it was a waste of time to respond. This is, without question, the worst office staff experience I have ever had. The dentist deserves better representation at the front desk, because Tabatha's behavior drives patients away.

They both did not rush me and checked frequently to ensure I was okay. The procedure went very quickly and painlessly. The cherry on top is Dr. Brian called me that evening to check on me and be sure I was not experiencing any discomfort. WOWWOWWOW! That's "old school" service and care for your patient. I cannot express how much I appreciated the call. This level of true caring plus his expert knowledge and conservative approach is why my whole family goes to Withers Dental. We continue to recommend his and his team to everyone!

When I asked Priscilla for a standard dental billing code to check my coverage, she threw it back in my face and snapped, "We don't give dental codes out." When I asked why, she just said, "We just don't." To make matters worse, after Dr. Maddie told me I could get a discount, Priscilla nastily told me, "Well, she gave you a free cavity." The clinical team is top-tier, but Priscilla's toxic "Karen" attitude and deceptive billing transparency completely ruin this business. ## Option 2: Sharp & Warning (Great for Yelp) Five stars for Dr. Maddie, Santos, and the clinical team, but zero stars for Priscilla and the front desk billing tactics.

I wanted to share my experience so other patients know to carefully review treatment plans,…read moreprocedure codes, and pricing before proceeding. I initially came to this office for an emergency visit when a crown came off and paid a significant amount out of pocket. When I later received my explanation of benefits, the crown was shown as not covered, which led to confusion. At a subsequent visit, I was told I needed an onlay. However, the treatment estimate I received listed crowns and core buildups instead. I questioned why a crown was being coded when my prior crown had not been covered and why the pricing was higher than typical onlay costs. I later contacted my insurance directly and was told that crowns are covered at 60%, which added to my confusion since this had not been clearly explained to me upfront, and the billing details I was given at the office did not feel consistent or transparent. During my appointment, I was then told I actually needed two onlays and a filling, which was different from what I had initially been told. When I asked to see the specific onlay procedure codes so I could review them myself, it took time to get a clear answer, and although codes were eventually provided, the total cost remained the same as the original crown-based estimate. Because the explanations and treatment details kept changing, I ultimately felt uncomfortable moving forward and decided to cancel my appointment before any treatment was performed. I was able to get the office to provide written confirmation that I was not charged. I'm sharing this so other patients know to pay close attention.
