FOR A CLEANING. They said they could do it for $127 without the exam/flouride. Nice of them, right? Not so much--I don't need the exam after all of the work I had in January. So they basically want to charge $127 just to clean my teeth when that's supposed to be preventative. I told Nicole I didn't think that was right and she told me to have a great day. What a joke. Zero customer service---not to mention they never told me ahead of time so I just drove a half an hour for nothing. I should have listened to my gut and never tried to use them in the first place. What a nasty business they run. Absolutely disgusting. Also-- I double checked what a cleaning costs without insurance-- $125 and they wanted to charge me $257 WITH insurance. Then they write some generic response to my review--looks like they have a lot of 1 star reviews to tend to though. This is the absolute last place I would EVER recommend to anyone.

Luckily a technician caught it when I was sitting in the chair about to get anesthesia. I could have aspirated during anesthesia and choked. Also problems with the billing person, Mae.

They billed insurance for it. Even though they made me pay for it up front. When I told Mae I didn't have anesthesia she didn't believe me and wasn't going to give me the refund I was told I would get since I didn't have it. All around a very negative experience.

I had a 5pm appointment; checking in was easy. I filled out some documents electronically prior to the appointment; a few more had to be filled out in person. I waited about 20 minutes to see someone. They told me that the initial appointment will be a bit longer due to me being a new patient. The dental assistant was nice, she took pictures of my teeth. Then I was introduced to the friendly Dr. Frederickson; we had a discussion about my teeth health and what to expect. The Dental Hygienist, Monique was very personable; took my X-rays and initiated my teeth cleaning. I booked another appointment a month out to get a filling on a cavity. The second appointment, was great. The whole appointment took about 20 minutes. I had a small cavity filled. The Dentist was very professional and had amazing bed side manner; she walked through every step that was happening. The whole process was easy and painless. Overall, A+ experience and highly recommend.

It is a fact that this office was totally disrespectful and disorganized at the time when services…read morewere supposed to be rendered. They would irresponsibly and wrongfully process paperwork and cashed a check that was meant to be sent to me since they had been 100% paid in full but doulble-dipped anyway. It is a fact that this "holistic" Dentist [in name only] removed two perfectly good fillings that did not need to be removed and left my bite in a cross-bite for not only months but for four years. The cross bite was addressed in person with Dr. May and he brushed it off as no big deal but it was a big deal because it was damaging other teeth and fillings and causing chipping in front teeth. It was a "Class III" malocclusion that was left with no plans to help the occlusion at all. This is a very dangerous malocclusion and the excellent Dentists I consulted after the four years of putting up with nothing being done to help me, they were shocked and could not understand that level of incompetence by any Dentist. Now he wants to throw the psychological element around as though the Victim is wrong and did not experience, for four trusting years, anything wrong with the lack of proper care. The fact that many bad dentists happen to advertise heavily as "holistic" is another sad fact. There are several on the East Coast. There are MANY victims out there who have been abused and injured by people who happen to advertise as "holistic." I know more than a handful of people who have been to several holistic Dentists and had similar experiences. With this said, there are many bad Dentists in general. It is not regulated and the level of training and ethical behavior is highly variable. With that said, there are also some very caring ones who are at least willing to refer the patient if something is over their heads. But if you look at the complaints of the bad and incompetent workmanship of many Dentists who advertise as "IAOMT" or Holistic, you will see a very horrifying trend. Abuse by wrongful treatment and misdiagnoses and then marginalization of innocent patients is very real and not some psychological fantasy. I am sorry that I ever trusted you for four years. You should take a long look at how many years it took me to finally write a public complaint. I tried my best to give you the benefit of the doubt, but when I finally gave up on your lack of care and sought other professional opinions, my dangerous occlusion was of big concern to the Dentists who specialize in occlusion and actually care about the damage to the other teeth that I had sustained from your misdiagnoses and your maltreatment.

From the day it was put in, until the day it fell out on its own, it caused pain, gum swelling and intermittent migraines. I returned to Dr Sanford for 4 additional visits with the same concerns and reported pain. On the 4th visit Dr. Sanford was visibly angry and very aggressive in his approach in examining the crown and overall area in question. He was also insistent the crown work had been completed 5 years prior and vehemently disagreed with my statement of 4 months until he found the date in my medical records. After 4 visits with no visible progress made, and now having a frustrated doctor taking it out on me, I choose another dental group to reinstall a proper fitting crown. It, along with several other crowns that I have had for many years are working great! Between Dr. Sanford's inability or interest to make the appropriate corrections and his highly unprofessional behavior, I requested a return of payment. He wrote a letter placing responsibility on me, the patient, for the dental issues. He refused to reimburse but instead advised me to come in again to see what could be done. Candidly, when I have an issue with my car, I do not give the mechanics 4 chances to get it right. Why would I have a lower standard for my own personal dental health? The service provided was sub-par at best. At the very least, a refund should be made. Simply a dreadful experience!
