Made an appointment to get my Father's teeth cleaned with American Family Dentist in Collierville,…read moreTenn. (My Dad is 93 years old) They gave him an appointment, with a cost of $79.00 as a new patient. (I assumed that was a discount for the cleaning). When I took him, they took x-rays and when that was done, they call my sister and myself back to show us what they saw. He had plaque buildup, and needed to use a special mouthwash for a short period of time, which I understood. But they informed us that it would take two visits to clean his teeth. supposedly, his plaque was that bad. I thought ok, it had been 3.5 years since his last cleaning. (That visit was with a different dentist, whom he had seen for years.) When they gave me the appointment date and times, they also gave me the price for the two cleanings. $1,288.00 was the cost! YES, YOU READ THAT RIGHT!! $1,288.00. I would have to be crazy to pay that much for cleaning! I called his old dentist, they saw him the next morning, took x-ray and cleaned ALL HIS TEETH IN THAT ONE VISIT! COST: $215.00! If you are wise, avoid going to American Family Dentist in Collierville, Tennessee. I do not know what other American Family Clinics charge. but check before going!

AVOID THIS HORRIBLE "Dentist" AT ALL COSTS.

Initially, I must say I was puzzled by the lack of attentiveness being it was my first visit…read morehowever I thought it may just be me... so my thinking altered to, maybe Dr. Kutas is a veteran at this ?! Unfortunately, my instincts were right. After careful consideration and research, I read reviews informing me of the exact questionable actions I experienced. There are too many vulnerable patients that trusted Dr. Kutas whom bypassed dignity and integrity for payment of services not needed or wrongfully done in hopes of suggesting additional services. I empathize with those that have experienced this and it's unfortunate. Some may handle their situation a little differently being they were intentionally scammed for personal gain/greed while others can... If you believe a dentist is engaging in a scam, you should take specific steps to gather evidence and report the fraudulent activity to the appropriate authorities. Common signs of potential dental scams include recommending unnecessary procedures, aggressive upselling, lack of transparency in pricing, and refusal to provide X-rays or records. Warning Signs of a Potential Scam Recommending Unnecessary Treatments: Be wary if a dentist suggests extensive, expensive procedures (like numerous crowns, general anesthesia for routine work, or pulling healthy teeth for implants) without clear evidence or explanation. Refusal to Provide Records or X-rays: A trustworthy dentist will share your records and X-rays and encourages a second opinion. Refusal to do so is a major warning sign. Aggressive Upselling and Pressure: Feeling pressured into making an immediate, expensive decision on the spot is a red flag. Inaccurate Billing/Insurance Issues: Issues like incorrect insurance estimates, billing for services not performed (upcoding), or not applying payments correctly are serious concerns. Poor Office Practices: High staff turnover or a lack of cleanliness can indicate an unprofessional environment focused on profit over patient care. Steps to Take if You Suspect a Scam Gather Documentation: Obtain an itemized bill: You have a right to a fully itemized bill detailing all services and costs. Request dental records: Get copies of your X-rays, treatment plans, and clinical notes. Document communications: Keep records of all texts, emails, and notes from phone calls with the dental office and your insurance company. Get a Second Opinion: Consult with an independent, reputable dentist (preferably not associated with the same corporate chain, if applicable). Provide them with your existing records and X-rays and ask for their assessment of your oral health and the recommended treatment plan. Contact Your Insurance Company: Report the situation to your dental insurance provider. They have a financial incentive to investigate fraud and can request an audit or reclaim funds. File Formal Complaints: State Dental Board: Report procedural issues and unnecessary treatments to your state's dental board. They are responsible for licensing and regulating dentists. State Attorney General: Contact this office to report billing irregularities and credit issues. Federal Trade Commission (FTC): File a complaint online with the FTC to report fraudulent business practices. Better Business Bureau (BBB): While they have no legal authority, complaints to the BBB help create a public record and warning for other patients. FBI: In cases of significant health care fraud, the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) may also be relevant. Seek Legal Counsel: For significant financial loss or medical malpractice, consider consulting a personal injury or malpractice attorney.

Dr.Smith is one of the worst dentist in Memphis. He performed a root canal which caused extensive…read morepain and bleeding around the gum site. Dr Smith also installed a bridge which was of poor quality and did not fit properly. I was in severe pain however; his office did not correct the problem. I had to go to another endontist and dentist to fix his mistakes. He has a reputation for recommending dental work patients do not need. He allows his assistant to perform work they are not qualified to do. I had to refer his practice to the Health Dept. I received a letter from them stating his practice was cited for poor health condition. This can be vetified by checking with the State. Please beware of this dentist. You will not leave his office without a lot of recommendations for work you do not need. His staff is excellent. Everyone is nice, don't be fooled. It will cost you a lot of money and possibly pain.

My dentist Andy although from Mississippi is both a New England Patriots fan and a HUGE Red Sox fan who attends games at Fenway!! Now if that wasn't enough to make him awesome he's actually a big fan of Veterans and he's really excellent at being a dentist but even more than that he's a considerate person who explains everything in layman terms with analogies and actually listens to his parents. I say that makes him one of the truly good ones, and my wife has been his patient for some time now and she's a big fan and her dental health has never been better. I got some extensive exams and workups done but unfortunately, it was not completed before moving. Here's the coolest thing, my new cool dentist is the bomb and believe it or not he is also a HUGE new England Patriots fan, what are the odds? :-) Bottom line: This is a pleasant and efficient dental office with a nice and professional staff.

From the minute you arrive until you leave, you are met with kindness, understanding, engagement, and just stellar service overall. You can tell that Dr. Damron was purposeful and thoughtful as to whom he chose to be part of the staff- no matter their role. Every person seems to fit so well with their company culture. Even the front desk personnel are a delight. Take a moment to talk to them, especially Tiffany. Now let's talk about the dental experience. I always have a terrific experience with the hygienist, Michelle. Every time I have an appointment, I feel like I'm catching up with an old friend who happens to clean my teeth. Dr. Damron is a very patient, understanding, reassuring, and a kind dentist. I've had several different services and have never had any issues. He always seems to go out of his way to make sure I'm comfortable and I've never been in any pain. Believe it or not- I've even had a minor filling done with no numbing or anything! Dr. Damron explained how shallow the filling was and reassured me that I'd feel nothing. I was a bit hesitant at first, but I appreciated that he felt like I didn't need an unnecessary shot... so I agreed. And guess what?! I felt nothing! Oh and if you ever find yourself nervous during a procedure- or even a cleaning, ask if you can wear an X-ray apron. It's got some weight to it and someone who worked there suggested it before because it's almost like a weighted calming blanket. Rest assured this practice and its staff care about you as a person and as a patient. They do not try to offer unnecessary services and they also are good about presenting alternatives. Seriously. Love. This. Place!
