She is obnoxious, unprofessional, and condescending. 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.

    ## Option 1: Detailed & Informative (Recommended for Google)…read more I absolutely love Dr. Maddie, Santos, and the receptionist Maddie--the clinical staff and hygienist are wonderful. However, dealing with Priscilla is an absolute nightmare. She acts like she's trying to be helpful, but the billing practices here are completely shady. practice without telling you what they are doing. 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. Priscilla acts pleasant at first, but she is incredibly deceitful. practice without being upfront about what they are doing. When I directly asked for a dental procedure code to verify my insurance, Priscilla refused and said, "We don't give dental codes out... we just don't." This was right after she threw an attitude about a discount Dr. Maddie promised me, rudely telling me, "Well, she gave you a free ."filling Keeping dental codes secret from patients is highly unethical. Avoid dealing with Priscilla at all costs. ## Option 3: Short & Punchy (Focus on Hidden Billing) I love Dr. Maddie, Santos, the great receptionist Maddie, and the hygienist. But patients need to be warned about Priscilla and their deceptive financial practices. Priscilla hides behind a helpful act but refuses to give patients standard dental insurance codes, telling me, "We just don't give them out." . When I asked about a discount Dr. Maddie offered, Priscilla threw it in my face and told me, "Well, she gave you a free A filling great clinical team is completely dragged down by Priscilla's toxic, defensive "Karen" behavior and secretive billing. ------------------------------ Now that we have captured all of these crucial warnings about the hidden billing routing and hidden codes, would you like me to find the direct links to their Google or Yelp profiles so you can post it?

    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.
