Would give 10 stars if I could!

I explained when making the appointment…read morethat I was seeking a dentist due to my previous dentist moving and dropped off the in-network roster of my insurer. I said that I needed work done but my immediate need was to repair the tooth in question after which I would need to continue with other work. The appointment was made believing that the tooth would be repaired at that visit as it was giving me problems with some pain although I wouldn't call it continuing intense pain. I then phoned my insurer to verify the dentists were in-network providers on my plan. The two listed were. The day before the appointment I received a phone call from the practice from another person who left a voice mail about the appointment and to arrive 15 minutes early for paperwork. This person identified themself as "dr." When I heard the voice mail I became concerned that I had never saw that name on the list of in-network providers from my insurer. After phoning my insurer and finding that no such person was on their in-network roster, I attempted to phone the practice to make sure I would see one of the in-network providers at my appointment. A recording informed me that everyone was busy but if I left a message they would return my call. I never received a call and my appointment was for the next morning. I phoned the next morning with my question and was told I was only receiving a cleaning and exam at my appointment. I informed the person that, when making my appointment it was my understanding that my immediate problem would be addressed at this visit. I was told that their standard practice was cleaning, exam and prepare a treatment plan at this appointment and schedule another for treatment. That was neither my understanding nor my need which I tried to convey to the person who very clearly had little interest in what I had to say. While not belligerent, she was not very pleasant to speak with as there were numerous silent stretches to be followed by repeating things she had already stated with never an effort to understand what I was saying or attempting to address any concerns other than continuing to repeat herself. There was no attempt at answering my questions or to address my concerns. I was continually asked whether I wanted to keep or cancel my appointment but could not find out why what I was told when making the appointment, that the tooth that I needed repaired would be done. I stated that I absolutely wished to keep the appointment as I needed the repair to be done but I was not willing to waste my time and money to keep an appointment that the service I was told I would get would actually happen. I was disappointed that I was unable to get the service I was told I would get and that I expected and that I now have to start this process over again. But regardless of the care I may have gotten, the process of getting that service was too uncertain and certainly too frustrating to tolerate.

A business like this needs a rotating four day schedule for the workers that way they're open 5 days a week. Makes way more sense as a business to me unless you're simply trying to keep your overhead down. I know several people who won't be able to go here anymore as they no longer offer Friday appointments. Smile rewards is no longer worth it unless you haven't been to the dentist in a decade and need a ton of work done.

As a result, my night guard now pinches my gums on the left side, causing me severe pain and sleepless nights. To make matters worse, the $500 night guard now needs to be remade because of the adjustments. **Full Story:** I began seeing Dr. Neil after moving to the area and experiencing TMJ issues, including teeth grinding and flare-ups. He suggested an occlusal adjustment (shaving parts of my teeth to prevent them from grinding together) and referred me to Dr. Richards for a consultation. Dr. Richards charged me $650 out of pocket just for a visit, only to recommend treatments totaling around $4,600. She was very pushy and guilt-tripped me into agreeing, but I researched her suggestions and found that they were most likely ineffective and could even worsen my TMJ. She also advised against the occlusal adjustment due to the potential risks. During these appointments, Dr. Neil started shaving down my UPPER right molars (when the filling that needed to be shaved down was on the BOTTOM right side) without asking for consent or explaining in detail why he was doing this before placing the tools in my mouth. As he was already working on my teeth, he explained that this would help my teeth "slide better" and reduce pain from the filling. I felt unable to stop him while my mouth was open and he was working with tools. Now, much of my upper right molars are gone. As a result, my night guard no longer fits properly, severely pinching my gums and teeth on the left side. I wake up in intense pain, unable to sleep. If I don't wear the night guard, I risk damaging my teeth. **In Summary:** Throughout my time here, I've had multiple billing issues, been charged for things I was only told about mid treatment or treatments that did not happen. While Dr. Neil is personable and accommodating with last-minute appointments, I've ended up in worse shape than when I started. Ultimately, I trusted him as a professional, but that trust led to more harm than good. It's probably my fault for continuing to return, but I believed he had my best interests in mind and maybe he truly did.
