Very disappointing experience. Before my first appointment, I explained that I have a severe gag…read morereflex and cannot tolerate the small X-ray sensors, although I can do panoramic X-rays. Despite this, my entire half day was wasted before they completed my cleaning. Six months later, I returned for my scheduled appointment only to be told I had to complete the same small X-rays or "take my business somewhere else." although they already completed panoramic X-rays. They wasted my time at both appointments, as if I didn't have work or other responsibilities. The lack of professionalism, communication, and compassion was extremely disappointing.

This dentist office is not worth your time or money…read more I also feel that my overall health care was drastically diminished by the care that I received in this dental office. I left my last dentist because she does not accept Medicare Advantage. I do have gum disease, however, my pockets have been holding steady at 5's for the last 20 years. Is it a coincidence that within one year of seeing this hygienist, my pockets have all of the sudden increased to 7's? I guess I'll never know the answer to that. My last appointment with them was for a cleaning in October of 2024. During this appointment Yer Lee (the hygienist), pierced my lower lip with her dental tools. It took approximately 1 1/2 weeks for the swelling to go down. Her reaction to the piercing was: "It's ok". My reaction: "No it's NOT OK". She also smeared fluoride all over my teeth (even though in my last appointment, I specifically stated that I don't want that treatment. After researching it, I found that the ADA states " Fluoride must be ingested, topical fluoride is ineffective". Plus, I have a bridge for my upper 6 teeth (i.e. they are fake teeth). Yer Lee is obviously not smart enough to realize that fluoride, even if the ADA had thought that it was effective, can NOT be absorbed by fake teeth. When I called to cancel my next appointment and ask that my dental records be sent to my new dentist, the office staff wasn't even curious as to WHY I was leaving their facility for another. Her attitude was almost as if they get lots of these requests.

Dental hygienist Michelle is especially wonderful every time as well, she is always kind and compassionate, and takes care to make sure patients feel comfortable and safe. Her work is truly appreciated and makes a huge difference for a person with dentist anxiety.

Exorbitant, Neglectful, Inadequate - Overall Worst place to go…read more The dental cleaning experience at this establishment was not only exorbitant but also neglectful and inadequate, making it an overall worst place to go. If you are reading this, take my word and never visit this place. They are fraudulent. Let me share the whole story for you to make an informed decision. I had a dental cleaning appointment. At reception, the lady was nice and did all the paperwork politely. When I went to see the nurse, I specifically told her that I only wanted to do what my insurance covers. However, she gave me an estimate that, sir, sorry, but you will end up paying $202 on top of your insurance. Despite my reservations, I agreed and said to go ahead and start the procedure. They completed the first half of the cleaning, and upon returning to the front desk for check-out, the receptionist handed me a bill of $175. I was slightly surprised, as the whole estimate was $202. I assumed they probably charged me less for the second half, so I requested to the receptionist that I'll pay the whole bill after my second visit. Then, a day before my second visit, they sent me a bill of $230, with overall charges of $1149. The amount paid by my insurance was $436.72, and I owed $230, according to the bill. I called them and asked why I got the bill of $230.48 when I was billed $175 during my check-out on the day of service. They told me that, sorry sir, but the lady who was billing you on the day didn't give you the full bill for some unknown reason, and this is your final bill for the first visit. I was shocked by how they convinced me by giving the estimate of $202 for the whole cleaning process and ended up charging $230.487 only for the first visit. They didn't have any explanation for this, and I had to cancel the second visit to avoid another $230 (or probably more, as they would have made some excuse regarding one of my cavities and ended up charging way more - who knows). Now, let me add the worst part - Their dental cleaning sucks - I asked the nurse to show me the pre and post-cleaning photos to verify the level of cleanliness, and she only took a photo of the front 2 teeth and showed it to me. After coming home when I checked, I hardly noticed any difference, and I was planning to discuss this during my second visit, but now I won't as I am canceling my second visit. Please save yourself from this cheating. I'll inform my co-workers at work not to visit this place, as unfortunately, this is one of the places covered under my insurance. If I have the option, I'll give feedback to my insurance company as well to remove this clinic from their list. Shameful.
