    She got me into her office with the "$99 tooth extraction" scam. I made the appointment and…read moreexplained that I wanted a $99 tooth extraction, and I said the same thing when I showed up to the appointment. Wouldn't you know it, I paid $235 to have them cleaned and X-rayed, then she sent me on my way without pulling the broken tooth. She apparently scheduled me for a follow-up cleaning, which I did not keep (I only wanted a $99 tooth extraction, not a freaking commitment) so she put me into collections over a bill for a missed appointment. I feel like such a chump. This was 5+ years ago I think. I hope she becomes a politician, she would fit right in.

    When my son's orthodontist told me he was going to need 4 teeth removed before he could be fitted…read morewith braces, I was nervous. We had left our long-time dentist due to a falling out over poor care and billing issues, and I didn't feel comfortable simply picking out an appropriate dentist out of the phone book. Upon our orthodontist's recommendation, we went to see Dr. Alcorn. My 13-year-old son was understandably anxious, but Dr. Alcorn's staff could not have been more considerate and understanding. They made him feel as comfortable as possible under the circumstances. They gave me the option to sit in on the procedure, but I didn't because my son absolutely forbid it. So I sat in the waiting area, wondering if he was doing okay. Dr. Alcorn came out to tell me that he did well, and was happy to answer the few questions I had. My son told me that his hygienist was "cool", which is high praise indeed from him! A week later, I took my son back for a checkup on the gums where his teeth had been removed, and to have the remaining adult molars sealed to help guard against future cavities. At the same time, I had my 10-year-old daughter in for her cleaning. Both kids said they liked the hygienists that were working with them. I will say this, Dr. Alcorn has a no-nonsense way about her. She is definitely not the "warm fuzzy" type, although her receptionist and her hygienists are. If you are a very sensitive individual that prefers to be coddled a bit, then Dr. Alcorn is probably not a good match for you. There are some highly regarded dentists in Charlottesville that specialize in sedated dentistry, that might prove a better fit. For my family, however, Dr. Alcorn and her staff turned out to be just what we needed!
