I couldn't believe when they said yes we will see you and do everything we can to make you comfortable. PEOPLE.. I am not even their patient! When I arrived I was frazzled and not familiar with the area and they were so relaxed and comforting and kind. They got me in right away the dentist was so nice and inspected the issue and got it fixed. I went to pull out my wallet and they said, no that's ok everything is good. I about fell out of my chair. No one in California would ever treat a patient this way in all my experience of living in Southern California. I am blown away when they say Iowa nice they're really is something to it.

TriCare families stay far away!!!! Absolutely terrible…read moreservice for service members and their families!!! We got charged almost $600 for a consult and they didn't do much other than tell my husband the work that needed done but they wouldn't do it without us paying for it all (thousands of dollars) out of pocket. (wisdom teeth removal and braces). We were even referred here by our dentist that they were supposedly a "Tricare friendly provider" We tried to explain MULTIPLE times that TriCare will cover orthodontic work if it is medically necessary (as it is in my husband's case), but Dr. Hull and his nurse got super rude with us and told us to pay out of pocket and then we could file on our own. That's not how military insurance works! We need the pre-authorization with the referral first. It even lists this on TriCare's website and lists that if orthodontics is medically necessary, not just cosmetic it is covered. All we needed was a simple letter that stated what needed done and why sent to Tricare and they would get paid directly from insurance. We will be getting his records and going elsewhere! I am appalled at how they treat our men and women in uniform and how rude the nurse and Doctor Hull was! When we requested the records they stated they would be sent digitally to our next orthodontist. I hope this actually happens based on prior contacts.... especially for the amount we had to pay for the consult.

I'm hoping my 3 star rating will get the attention of the owners to correct processes followed by the billing office. The problem I encountered was that I paid online through their website. I received a late notice and disregarded it because I knew the payment was made by verifying it online. I then received a typed written letter on my non payment. Again I verified my payment was made in June. I even called my HSA and they verified my payment was made. I called the Billing office and explained the situation. She said she saw that a payment had been made and posted the payment to my account. She also said she would waive the late fee. I asked why I was receiving late notices, if I had made a mistake on my end. I wasn't trying to be a "Karen" but eventually understood it was an error by the Billing department. I'm probably a little old school, but if it was me, I would have apologized and assured the client it has been fixed. The owners probably need to look at a new online system that can accept payments and automatically apply them to an account instead of relying on a person to manually update an account. Humans can make mistakes, but as a client it was confusing, made me feel terrible by receiving overdue statements and wasted my time in fixing an error created by another person.

When I arrived for my appointment, they told me that in order to get the whitening, I HAD to get a routine exam, which my insurance would not pay for since within 6 month window. (they tried to call me 30 min before the apt to tell me, but I didn't get the call). They said they would allow me to use it in 4 months in conjunction with a comprehensive exam, but they don't take my insurance so I would have to pay out of pocket. Complete waste of time, and they had several opportunities to tell me, since it was NOT in the small print. Bait and switch!
