I had the worst customer experience at Jett Ferry Dental in Sandy Springs, GA, not just at a dental practice, but anywhere I've ever been. The office manager, Chauncie Harrison was flat out rude and disrespectful. Others in the office just passed the buck to avoid responsibility. Initially, it was just that they charged me for x-rays when they said they never charge for x-rays, and I had to call multiple times to get this rectified because no one would ever return calls. They blamed it on their call service. This happened twice. The next incident was that I left a message with someone because I needed to verify that they took my new insurance. I never got a return call, but came in for my appt because I had verified with my insurance company that they were in network. When I went in for my appt, they insisted on calling my insurance company to verify network status and then informed me that they were indeed out of network. I got upset because I had planned my day to set aside time for the appt. Plus, if someone had returned my call, then this could have been avoided. Once again, they passed the buck and blamed it on their call service. I informed them that this was the 3rd time someone has used that excuse and that they needed to do something to fix the problem, not just keep blaming the call service. Get a new call service, then. Amirite? Turns out they actually are in network with my insurance, so I scheduled another appt for a cleaning.
I also got a crown there recently. The dentist was nice enough, but the gums around that tooth have been bleeding since I got the crown. Plus the crown has a rough surface. The dentist tried to buff out the crown but it is still rough and she said the bleeding was natural (which it most certainly is not) and it should eventually stop, which it has not. So, I called to make an appt to get it evaluated and explained that I had lost confidence in the dentist for stating that that amount of bleeding was normal. Before I could ask if there was another dentist that could see me, the office manager Chauncie Harrison told me that I didn't have to come back to the practice. That felt like a big eff off to me. No apologies, no concern. She actually tried to tell me that I probably had periodontal disease and I should go see a periodontist. She's not even a dental health professional. She's an office manager. Why the heck is she giving me advice about my teeth?
There was a previous time when I was there that a man, who was clearly in a lot of pain as he was holding his mouth and moaning in pain, was having trouble using their tablet to sign in. No one from the staff offered to help him.
Just a horrible staff all around. Save yourself the headache and go to a dental practice where the people care about you. read more
