Initially, I was hesitant to return to Dental Care at Gateway Commons due to a past billing and…read moredental service issue. However, email updates from the office informed me that Dr. Rivera had transferred, and a new dentist had taken her place. Curious, I decided to give it another try and booked appointments for my family of five, requesting Dr. Parks. After my cleaning, the receptionist noted a credit on my account, and, as promised, Dr. Parks refunded an X-ray fee that should have been waived. Over the past year, our family has thrived under Dr. Parks' care. The practice's commitment to service transparency (clear pricing) and upfront charges reflects their willingness to correct mistakes without blaming others--a rare and valuable trait in a family dentist.

The office experience was horrible. I was told three times that they have not contacted my insurance and when I called to talk to an office manager, they all of a sudden had an answer from my insurance within an hour. I don't believe this. I believe they just want my money And don't care So I will find another dentist. GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!!

The nice thing about this office is that the doctor is very experienced and takes time to see you, they always run on time and the staff is very friendly. They also use Damon braces which seem to be the way to go these days. My daughter had a lot less pain then I had with braces. I was really surprised that they don't use headgear anymore. This is a great improvement. I would trust this doctor with my teeth, just as I did with my daughters. He does a great job.

I thought Dr. Mary Shehata was nice, but I soon realized how condescending she really is. This…read moremedical "professional" had the audacity to call me "too sensitive." Since when does an employee at a business have the right to say what they think about a paying customer? Especially when it's not true. It was just a nasty jab. Her behavior was precipitated when I tried to explain to her the scene that a non-patient had made in the lobby earlier that day. The daughter of the non-patient, who looked like a member of the Insane Clown Posse, kicked my foot. This brat...I mean little girl told her mom I gave her a nasty look. I explained to her mother that her daughter kicked my foot. Her mother asked her if she said sorry. The little girl started crying. The mother told her daughter that I should've sat back in my seat. This was ridiculous. There was so much room in that office that the girl should not have made any contact with me. The girl started crying, and her mom continued to make a fool out of herself and her daughter. Two of the front desk staff instigated the hostile non-patient by laughing. Not only was I a patient, but the rest of my family was as well. Having to endure the behavior of that belligerent woman, who wasn't even a patient, was just the beginning. The office manager stated she does not make excuses for her staff's behavior, but that's all she did. I told the office manager that my family would not be back. The office manager and Shehata proceeded to tell me that I should think about it and not make a rash decision. Who the heck do they think they are? They couldn't care less about my family. My family did not need a payment plan. We paid in full. So SouthShore Orthodontics can keep the one unstable non-patient and lose three others because we have found a better and more professional orthodontist's office. I changed my star rating for SouthShore Orthodontics from 1 star to 5 stars only because of Dr. Ahrens. He swooped in with professionalism and kindness. If my family only worked with Dr. Ahrens, we would still be patients at SouthShore Orthodontics. Although the paperwork I requested was incomplete, I was happy to receive something. If it wasn't for Dr. Ahrens, nothing would have happened.
