***EDIT FOR MAY 1, 2026*** - Two weeks ago I was called by someone at the front desk and told there…read moreis an available appointment for Saturday, May 2 at 2:00 pm with the dentist who has been doing the work on my tooth. Today I was told it's uncertain who called me, but there's availability at 9 am on May 2, 2026. I was also told that this review has been seen and it's not thought to be discrimination. I'd like to make it clear there's many types of discrimination in the medical field; systemic or interpersonal. In my case, it's interpersonal. This review will not be removed until the situation is corrected. A partial definition of interpersonal discrimination is unfair treatment, disrespect, micro aggressions, macro aggressions, poor communication, biases, and differential treatment between the patient and healthcare providers or staff. In this case, it's between a patient and staff. In the summer of 2025, I completed the first visit. The apron/vest (I'm not sure of the correct term), was not placed on me during x-rays until I requested it. This was on a Saturday. The woman who completed the x-rays seemed to be more distracted by something else at the moment. After scheduling a follow up appointment, I asked does this office accept pediatric patients? My daughter was three years old at the time. I was told yes but since He is so young, there's not much to do except to brush His teeth (he's a she but ok; I took her elsewhere) The practice engages in discrimination; be careful if you're a person of color. The dentists and dentist assistants are not discriminatory, they're wonderful. But the receptionists are discriminatory and lie a lot. Because of the treatment, I'll finish my root canal treatment and look for a dentist elsewhere. Last year, I came for a second opinion on a root canal. It was scheduled. They never told me the insurance denied it. The insurance did. This year I decided to go back. It's close to my home and business. A fear of dentists kept me away. They scheduled the appointment. I gave them an updated insurance card. They pretended to place it in my file. I called weekly to ask if it Emblem Health approved it because the insurance said they didn't receive it. Weekly responses from the receptionists were, not yet or let me ask the billing department. I had to go in person after calling six weeks straight for them to submit it to Health First. Even then, I had to show up in person while placed on hold; that's when I was partially assisted. The day of the root canal (March 12), I was told that there wasn't an Emblem Health Insurance Card on file. After weeks of me calling and one visit, I was told that. Why is it discrimination? After research and an investigation of my own with the assistance of an outside agency, I have found that this treatment is most common towards blacks/African Americans from this practice; specifically the receptionists (as stated before, the dentists and dental assistants have not treated others this way). I paid $515 out of pocket because the root canal was needed. I have not received a refund. If I didn't have the money, my health would have become worse. I was then told my next appointment is April 17. I received a call on the 26th of March saying my appointment is March 27 at 10am and I was mistaken. Gaslighting? Misinformation? I'll attach the card. The dentist also told the receptionist to schedule an appointment for the weekend of April 4, 2026. She said there's a waiting list. And left it at that. I'll keep calling and visiting in person until I get the appointment for the crown.

I was on a family emergency in Florida and decided to get my teeth cleaned and x ray over there. Just to find out all of these problems I have going on in my mouth.

I know have other health complications that could've been avoided if he would've told me all the times I've gone to him. I've been bleeding from my mouth for almost 5 years!!! I've gotten CT scans from head to toe just for the doctors to tell me I'm healthy when the real underlying issues was my gums and teeth. Early stage periodontitis could've been avoided for sure if I were to take care of my mouth more yes, but to have a "professional" dentist that just wants to get paid by insurance or your hard earn money not telling you what's really going on is a disgrace to his field!

Not at all professional. They kept changing my appointment day and time.

Finally, the called the day before my appointment to say they don't take my insurance. No problem but why did it take 6 weeks of then stringing me along and rescheduling to get to that point? Shouldn't that be the first thing they check? Anyway, they seem like a hot mess.

This dentist had informed me that I had 3 cavities and had to get my root canal redone. This obviously puzzled me and to be honest, I didn't bother going back. I went to a different dentist a year later and was told that I have no cavities and did not have to get my root canal redone. Shame on you guys for pulling some nonsense like this. It really does you a disservice when you try to scam people with unnecessary procedures. 2 stars because the office is clean and front desk people are nice. Moral of the story, get a second opinion.

The only good thing about his office was his amazing, polite and friendly receptionist. Too bad she's not the one doing the procedures.

A 7-MINUTE CLEAN-UP, guys. There was no one waiting besides me when I walked in, but the dr was already seeing another patient. The front desk lady was nice and friendly. When it was my turn, dr's assistant called me up for an X-RAY. The dr roughly looked at the x-ray 4 feet away from the screen for 3 seconds, started cleaning. He rushed even tho there was no one after me, and the cleaning was just a little better than brushing teeth. He started cleaning at 13:02, and I walked out of the office at 13:10. One star for the nice lady and one star for the nice looking office.

They stopped taking my insurance recently but not before they tried to put a claim from work completed 2 years ago. The dental practice does have a lot of business but probably because there is not a lot of dentist places around.
