    The doctor took impressions of my mouth yesterday for both upper and lower partials. He used those…read moreold-fashioned metal trays with goop on them. When took the top mold, it did not hurt my mouth at all. However, when he took the bottom mold, he pressed down hard on the metal tray, and it hurt my gums badly on the right side of my mouth toward the front. As he was pressing down, it felt like my lower gums were being jabbed with a sharp knife. I was moaning badly, and he still kept pressing down hard. He might have used a tray too small for my lower jaw. They do not use the more modern and pain free method of taking digital impressions with a scanner (mouth camera) so don't ever have dental impressions done here. I called the woman at this office this morning and she acted stupid when I tried to explain how having this impression done on the lower part of mouth hurt me. She got snippy and called me a "smart alec". I suspect they might be running a butcher shop here with quacks who enjoy inflicting pain upon patients. I have to go back on the 20th of this mouth to have my new partials fitted and out in. I told the woman over the telephone that I hope that experience will be less unpleasant for me than the impression taking was. She claimed that patients normally don't feel pain when fitted for dentures. The woman over the telephone didn't even know what "digital impressions" were.

    Where do I begin. Went to then at the end of August 2023 . Was told I needed the deep cleaning with…read moremeds , my wisdom teeth out , and two crowns done. They wanted to jam all these visits into 4 visits! FOUR !! They quoted me at like 2500, and I took out a care credit loan (paid in full as of August 27th 2024) At my first visit (8/31/2023 they did the deep cleaning (1,337.00) My second visit 09/05/2024 they did half my mouth the meds for perio (1,318.00) Third visit 09/11/2024 (640.00)other half of my mouth with meds and temporary crowns for the two that needed done . They did this even though I told them I couldn't afford to pay for the permanent crown until into the new year. DID YOU KNOW temporary crowns are only supposed to stay in your mouth for two weeks? I had no idea . 4th visit 09/12/2024 (2,814.00) got 3 of my wisdom teeth removed. They did an xray after , and after I had been home for over an hour calls me and tells me I need to come back in because they found a WIRE in my gums from when the dentist put my temporary crown in on 09/11/2024. The oral surgeon removed it and said I had an infection and put some meds on it. ( that is when I should've started to raise hell but was was coming off of being under and didn't think to say anything ) they then sent me home and I proceeded to have the worst pain of my entire life . Like nobody can describe oral pain. I went back in mutiple times and the dentist would not listen to me . So I went to Altoona Smiles (Dr. Daniel's is amazing and I recommend him so much) He doesn't understand why they'd even put a temporary crown let alone two in my mouth when I said I couldn't afford the pertinent until the new year. So guess what I had to go ahead and pay for those temporary's to be redone by Altoona smiles and then two weeks following get my permanent's in. I am now a patient permanently with Altoona Smiles . I recently got a message from a debt collector for Aspen. Apparently my claims with them all denied and they had never called me to tell me . Altoona did after my first visit and my insurance company fixed the issue and reprocessed the claims . That is literally all they needed to do. Aspen didn't and now after talking with my dental insurance they will do everything in their power to get those claims from 2023 reprocessed . Moral of the story is Aspen Dental just thinks of you as cows going through the slaughter house. They truly do not care about you . Always check reviews, before making an appointment. Hopefully this review saves some people the pain and suffering . I now have major anxiety with dental care , but my dentist understands and knows how to handle with care . ASPEN DOES NOT HANDLE WITH CARE!

    I DO NOT RECOMMEND. They DOUBLE BOOKED my appointment and…read moretold me I needed to reschedule . I called Aspen Dental (SE 14th St- Des Moines, IA) on Thanksgiving morning due to a crown popping off. The representative scheduled an appointment for 8:15am on Friday. She took my name, phone number and email address. I arrived at 8am on Friday and was advised they had accidentally double booked my appointment slot and I would need to reschedule since there was only one dentist in the office that day. The receptionist was unapologetic for the double booking. What was even more frustrating...they were aware of the double booking but neglected to call, text or email me advising me of their error. Horrible Customer Service!

    I was referred to Dr Chan by my dentist. I was a little concerned when I looked at his plaque on…read morethe wall graduating from a school other than the University of Iowa, my alma mater. But he turned out to be this cute little funny doctor. He overexplains everything. Tells you everything he's doing every step of the way and sings to you. I was finagling appointments between the endodontist and dentist office. The dentist numbed me up for the endodontist office because my procedure at the dentist office made me slightly late for Dr. Chan. Dr. Chan was still overly concerned to make sure that I wouldn't experience any pain. This is an endodontist that thoroughly checks, rechecks, and rechecks again his work. It's too bad that I'm his first reviewer, but if it makes you feel any better I am an RN who has worked in over 60 hospitals across the USA. I know the good from the bad doctors. He must be a great endodontist anyway because he gave up a life in NYC to serve the people of the DMI, right?

He earned his Bachelor of Arts in Economics from New York University in 1991. From there he worked as a Research Associate/Fund Accountant in a capital management firm in New York City. In 1994, Dr. Chan attended Columbia University, College of Dental Medicine and graduated in 1998 with his Doctor of Dental Surgery. He then completed a one year General Practice Residency at Long Island Jewish Medical Center in New Hyde Park, NY. He then went on and completed his two year Endodontic Residency at Temple University in Philadelphia, PA in 2001. Afterwards he then joined a group practice in Jenkintown, PA practicing until March 2003 when he moved to Iowa and opened his own practice, Central Iowa Endodontics in Des Moines and Marshalltown, IA.
