    This review is strictly with regard to the billing office. The clinical care we received was 5…read morestars; however, I would never return because of the billing experience, which was awful. We paid $2,300 up front. The billing office initially did not submit the claim to medical insurance at all -- something we only discovered because we called to ask. After that, we followed up for months while insurance was pending and were repeatedly told not to worry. Once insurance finally paid, no final bill was ever sent. Instead, the account was sent straight to collections, and additional fees were added. When confronted, the billing office denied telling us not to worry and claimed they had left voicemails they never left. Completely unacceptable. The pattern of billing complaints in other reviews says it all.

    If you want to be rescheduled on the day of your appointment over and over, and be misled to think…read moreyour insurance will cover some of the payment, this is the place for you! They might say they "take" Unum, or silently write down your insurance details when you hand them your card, but you might end up spending 4x more than you thought you would, which conveniently didn't come up right before the appointment. This is the only option in town, but I should have driven two hours to avoid this place. Btw, if they hadn't rescheduled on me over and over, I'd still have my old insurance that WAS covered! The doctors are fine, but the rest of the experience wasn't worth it. Now I'm in physical AND financial pain. Couldn't be much angrier. Not worth it at all. Don't come here.

    PLEASE READ BEFORE YOU GO!! HOSPITAL To Preface; this is the…read morefirst yelp review I have EVER written, never seen the need to before this. These guys put me in the hospital for days. I got my wisdom teeth out through Aspen dental, all very sweet people, however, they did no sort of sanitation before or after surgery and put me on no antibiotics. I ended up with two infected extraction sites and my check swelled to the size of a balloon. Day 3: Went back to Aspen Dental where they tell me I should try "Ice packs" (I have been ) The Doc sees me an literally said "Oh sh*tttt" under his breath before not checking instead mouth and prescribing me with Antibiotics (Later I was told by my Hospital team that the ones he gave me likely never would have worked) Day 4: I then went to the ER because my clots weren't forming correctly and I couldn't stop the bleeding, and when I called Aspen Dental they told me it would resolve on its own. They tell me I have a possibly life threatening infection and mentioned surgery several time, however I recovered quickly enough that I did not need it. I have now been in the Hospital for 3 nights on IV Antibiotics and steroids, with disgusting infected pus draining from my cheek into my mouth that I have to suction away ever few minutes with this straw vacuum by my bed. Most story's I heard about wisdom teeth people are feeling better by day 3-4. This has been one of the most unpleasant, needlessly expensive, stressful, and emotionally demanding events that I have gone through, and it was totally avoidable. I hope people read this and make the correct choice: DO NOT GO HERE.

    I went to this office for a root canal and was told they were in network for my insurance. I paid…read morealmost 1k cash which I expected and what they said I would pay based on my coverage. 6 mos later and after the calendar year I get a bill for another 1k. They did a bait and switch. The first person who worked on me was in network. The 2nd one wasn't. They left $1400 of my insurance unused. The actual dental work was ok but this shocking extra bill? VERY stressful. Bait and switch. Ugh

    I understand you may need services, but understand these people were reckless from the start, and…read morewhen attempted to be held responsible they laughed at me and told me to send a lawyer after them. I can not emphasize enough how upsetting this is. Don't let my story be your story.

    I'm a level 14-16 O2 patient whose also in hospice. I understand changes because of COVID, however…read morecompassion, empathy & kindness shouldn't suffer change. I was parked in handicap & because it was raining I figured I could make it to the lobby to sit down, otherwise I would had to unload my wheelchair. Once I got to the lobby heavily breathing & carrying my tank, I was immediately told we had to wait in the car or like 1 family in the rain. I was livid! the lobby was empty granted someone walked in behind me, it would've been nice to have been allowed to sit down . I left the lobby made it back to the car my phone rang & I was told I'm next I can come in. I said, I just left the office, hung up & I walked back in at the same time my wheelchair was being rolled in. I explained to the desk how upset I was that they didn't have any compassion for someone on O2 only for me to come right back. I saw the dentist & as I was being examined heard laughter & a loud lobby. I thought oh, so now it's ok to have people wait in the lobby. I was so upset I couldn't concentrate on what was going on with the nurse, thankfully she excused herself I assume to have a word with the desk. She came back apologizing. I wish I remembered her name. Time for me to leave & the lobby has people in it. I assumed there where patients in the lobby when I heard the giggles so I said. It's ok for them to be in the lobby but a oxygen patient has to walk back & forth. No one said anything & I made sure I told them I was going to complain. I hope my next visit is handled better. This review is based off my experience w/Amy and co workers who had the giggles!!!
