I started seeing this dentist over two years ago, I should say practice because their retention rate with dentist here is HORRIFIC. I've had four separate dentist's in a two year time period. I went in for a simple cleaning, was told I had a cavity, was given an enclave. Of which I needed to have replaced four separate times because of how poorly they placed it. My wife went to also have a simple cleaning. They told her the root of one of her teeth was infected. To be specific was having mercury seep into her bloodstream. She had silver fillings. The dentist proceeded to remove such silver and cause a crack in my wife's tooth. Then try to refer her out to an oral surgeon to have the tooth extracted. None of which was covered under our insurance. Upon a second visit with x-rays to a separate dentist shout out DeAngelis family dentistry for being phenomenal!! They are located off Palomar Airport Road. It was explained to me that my first dentist straight out lied. There was no issue with the root of my wife's tooth. In fact, the tooth and the root was perfectly healthy. He just wanted a large out of pocket payment!! Upon calling to have the issue fixed with the first dentist BC THATS HOW INSURANCE WORKS!! We were told the dentist she saw, was not available to fix the problem because he had left the country. True story. The owner of the practice refused to refund me my money. He instead had another dentist correct the first mistake, of which they made my wife wait an hour to be seen. That's 3 hours total of her workday she had to take off to fix a problem that they created, and caused more issues with! THEY ARE CROOKS!

This family dentist--once a warm, homespun operation--has apparently traded kindness for a set of cold, unfeeling hands and an attitude problem. What should've been a gentle cleaning turned into a full-contact sport. I've had bar fights that were more delicate. The new staff? Unpleasant, impatient, and about as comforting as a brick to the face. The charm of the original family-run vibe has vanished like my trust--and possibly some enamel. Customer service has taken a dramatic nosedive. No warmth, no reassurance, just grim determination and rough handling. Frankly, I'm not even mad... I'm impressed by how far this place has fallen. I love dentistry. I love lamp. I do not love this dentist. Stay classy somewhere else.

But let me respond to what she referred to as "lack of research" which has no relevance to my post. What research should I do when I receive an abrupt email and "text" telling me that my family's dental insurance is no longer accepted, an insurance we have had for 15 years. No warning. No empathy. Just an abrupt email and text message sort of like "surprise" we are no longer accepting Delta Dental - here are our rates of you want to pay cash. The staff there have always been curt, if not rude and I will add that to the lack of empathy for a family of six when you call (in advance) to change and appointment because things change, you get a rude response from a receptionist/ clerk telling you that they can't get you in for 6-7 months. What business does that?? Usually most businesses, especially when you as the consumer have the courtesy to call them in advance, will try to work out something with you. Instead you get a response "sorry, the doctor is busy or our specialists are jam packed-we can't accommodate changes. There is a better way to manage this. Again, I ask, what research needs to be done? This message came to me from the Doc's office that "we are no longer accepting Delta Dental". This is not political and not about the ridiculousness of insurance in this country. This is not about the care we received (other than the receptionists). The care was good. This post is about how one has chosen to approach his business and customers. There is and was a better way to approach this, but it is how he has chosen to run his business. I don't have to agree with it and he doesn't have to agree with me.

Also I want to leave a side note, in the beginning of all this we were offered the SDF route (it turns the cavity black) I had reservations and wanted to try some holistic options.

I chose this practice because I wanted a dentist who continuously trains herself and her staff in the current technology to do the very best for your mouth and teeth.

They wanted to fill or re-fill half of my mouth, deep root planing throughout, and on and on...amazingly, the exact same treatment plan they recommended to my friend who had just gone to them, around $4K in treatment, which is a lot now let alone back then. Front desk staff refused to give me a copy of the plan breakdown and costs of this extensive treatment stating that I "might go somewhere else to compare"...really?? Would that be a bad thing? And they kept telling me if money was a problem, not to worry as they worked in conjunction with a credit card company...who charged 23% interest. I passed on that treatment plan and saw a different dentist within a year after, who was shocked when I told him what they were recommending. I've never before and never since had so much work recommended, just regular cleanings, a filling here, a crown there. I've used three dentists since then and not one has ever recommended such and extensive and expensive treatment plan. It is very sad when medical providers take on the approach of commission-based salesmen. Sad indeed. Perhaps they've changed their approach in their new location...but I'm not wasting the time finding out.
