I scheduled a dental appointment for my child with Pediatric Dental Care only after calling to…read moreconfirm they were in-network with both of our dental insurance plans. Their staff told me they were in-network -- but for some reason, I received a bill for $1,100 because they were actually out-of-network the entire time. They stated on the phone after the fact they are not in net-work with ANY insurance. When I disputed the bill, their office deflected responsibility, pointed to a form I signed after being misinformed, and refused to put anything in writing -- including my request not to send the balance to collections so I could try to work with insurance on paying anything more. We've spent weeks trying to resolve this calmly, including phone calls, emails, and escalation to insurance. They've refused to take accountability and just go in circles. What's worse is I've since learned other military families in the area have had the same experience. This seems to be a pattern of either staff giving out false information or intentionally misleading patients who rely on insurance to make medical decisions to then make more money. I've now filed formal complaints with the Indiana State Dental Board, Better Business Bureau and Attorney General Consumer Protection office. If you're a military or insurance-reliant family, I strongly caution you to get everything in writing before trusting this provider. This experience has caused financial stress and anxiety we should never have been subjected to. Update: After weeks of back and forth, two hours after posting public reviews regarding my billing dispute, I received a phone call from Dr. Karr herself. During that call, she made it clear that the only reason she was reaching out was because of the reviews -- not because of my repeated email outreach or my earlier attempts to resolve the issue. She refused to acknowledge that her staff could have given me incorrect information regarding insurance coverage and blamed the insurance companies for the balance due. She claimed that writing off or adjusting the charge would be "insurance fraud," which I have since learned is misleading. At no point did she accept any responsibility, nor did she offer a resolution other than asking me to make payments or getting care credit. I left the call feeling invalidated, patronized, and more concerned than ever about the misleading practices at this office. We left the 45 minute conversation with her telling me she was going to speak with Amber and follow up with me next week. I feel sick to my stomach about this whole situation.

VERY DECEITFUL!! My…read morefamily and I just moved to the area and were looking for a pediatric dentist. When I called Dr. Karrs Office, they told me our insurance was out of network but they will still "follow the fee schedule", I asked them to explain what they meant and they told me we would owe about $8-$10 per child, so I scheduled my 3 younger children. They had their appointments, I was told my son needed a tooth pulled and they would do it right then. I asked how much this would cost and they said "oh, only a little bit more". I asked for a specific amount but they wouldn't tell me. On my way out, they told me my balance came to $150!! I was very frustrated, but was in a hurry to get the kids to their activities, so I paid it and left. THAT WASNT THE WORST PART!! I am now getting bills for $180!! Apparently, they gave all 3 of my children fluoride treatments (which they knew were NOT covered by an out of network insurance) without asking me. They just did it and it was $60 per child additional. I had several conversations with the front desk staff explaining how this isn't fair, its sneaky, and it is NOT how to run a business. They didn't care and I'm still expected to pay an additional $180 when I was told it would be $8-$10. We will NOT be going back!!!

One of the ladies is completely rude and very condescending every time I've gone there. She even laughed at me one time and made fun of me in front of the other customers because I said I couldn't believe my 7 year old child's teeth that they removed had the entire root attached. She said it's always like that. I said well I have 5 children and I've never seen a whole giant root when any of them have lost a tooth. When I was there last week she kept calling me honey and talking down to me. I said, "I don't understand why you are talking to me with this tone." She claimed that my 6 year old daughter had a cavity that I never got taken care of. I'm like what do you mean, I was here for our last appointment and I was told she needed two teeth fixed so here we are. She said last year you were here and she wouldn't open her mouth to get her cavity fixed. I said no, she wouldn't cooperate that day for a cleaning. She said well she needs 3 teeth fixed, and honey we can't do all that today. I said okay, well I wasn't told that, I thought she was getting the two teeth fixed today that I was told about. She said my daughter needs two root canals with silver caps, and one tooth capped in the front. My daughter doesn't even have any teeth pain, but she needs root canals?! Sounds strange. The lady said to me, "If you come with your daughter and she doesn't open her mouth and do what we say then we can't fix her teeth next time. I said well do 6 year olds usually listen and cooperate for you? She said I don't know. She said that my daughter would be getting numbed with a needle in her gums, and I doubt that could happen without her completely freaking out. Same with my 8 year old son. They scheduled him for surgery at the Dyer hospital for next week; they said he needs 4 root canals done with silver caps and multiple fillings, but she can't tell me how many. My son doesn't even have any tooth pain. They have already put multiple silver caps on his teeth at a prior hospital visit 4 years ago. I decided to cancel their appointments and get a second opinion and never return. I've always not liked going there because of the terribly rude staff, but Dr. Tyree has done such good work on my son's front teeth that were capped and that's why I continued to come. Dr. Tyree did a beautiful job on my son's front teeth with white caps when no other dentist was willing to do it because they said he didn't have enough of the teeth left to work with. A few days ago he did an excellent job on my daughter's front tooth with a white cap; her tooth had been chipped so he made it whole again. I asked if my children could get white caps on the back teeth instead of silver and she said no because they would have to be specially made and would cost $1500 per tooth. I feel like maybe they do excessive procedures that aren't necessary, and make separate appointments to get more money from the insurance. I drive an hour to get there so that isn't convenient for me, especially since the tooth that they fixed on my daughter only took 5 minutes, so why couldn't they just fix the other two at the same time. I know they had the time because they had a cancellation. Also they will not let the parent go back with the child ever. I've seen at least four parents get into arguments with them about that and storm out very mad without their child being seen. Any other dentist I've gone to with my five children have always let me go back with them. I'm just done with them.
