I was once very pleased with this office because of their schedule and flexible payment plans…read more However, when I went in today for my crown I was told that I had an additional $800 payment because I had a year long waiting period. I was very confused because when I went in for the initial appointment for pain I was given a treatment plan it did not reflect that. After being in the dental field 10 years I completely understand that insurance will pay less sometimes but they are firm on waiting periods. I told the girl as much and she said that unfortunately the treatment coordinator who presented my treatment was no longer employed there and could not ask her why she quoted me that when there were notes all over my account. The manager Carrie (I may not be spelling that correctly) then stepped in and said that unfortunately this was my balance and they could not see me if I did not pay but could reschedule for when I could pay. I told her that this was not my fault and should not be responsible to pay anything more than I already am paying (I'm on a payment plan) because I couldn't afford to pay that. She then said something along the lines of "well ma'am you should know your benefits" and then I got upset. At this point I let her know about my dental background and while an estimate can change the waiting period is a simple yes or no question and also I am not paid to know my benefits they are. She then went and got Kevin who tried to tell me that the office manager was out and not back until Tuesday (very convenient) could not make me any deal or discount until they spoke. They also, without my consent tried to get me on another payment plan for the $800 meaning another monthly payment but couldn't do that because I would not have been approved for more funds. I then again restated my issue with being charged more because of a waiting period. Kevin then tried to tell me that when you verify the benefits the first time you don't get the full benefits. I then told Kevin about the last 10 years of my working experience that included verifying insurance for 7 of them. I'm not sure if he meant it condescendingly but that's how I took it when he asked "oh so you've verified dental benefits before?" So I know that is absolutely incorrect. You get the benefits and it is NOT A GUARANTEE OF PAYMENT but a waiting period is crystal clear. Being a corporate office and having worked at one I understood him or who I thought was the office manager Carrie could not make any discounts without authorization but to have to wait a week to hear back if I was getting a discount and then to have to wait another week to be paid was not ideal with a temporary crown. He then said if I wanted to wait I could and they would try and make some calls. I waited because I do not live in San Antonio I live about 35 minutes south. When he came back they offered me a 50% discount. I thankfully was able to pay it today and when I let them know I could pay, Carrie said "okay, I am just going to document so that the discount is here and when you come back it will be here" I then asked "so I can't be seen today?" And she shook her head no. I then told her that I would not be paying anything until I came back to get the crown and then she said "oh so you can pay today?" so I told her "that's what I said, I can pay the $400" so she proceeded to take my payment and although she started her sentences with "I apologize " there was never a real apology or any sense of understanding. This was also an appointment that was supposed to happen a month ago and when I called to reschedule had I been notified I would have been prepared, but to have to walk into the office after driving 35 minutes and basically hear "pay us or get out" I'm sure you can understand why I am upset. So.. if you are like me who's only fault was "not knowing my benefits" I suggest you find out your own benefits because when there is an issue that is where they will try to place the blame. Have a great day and please do not let these people take advantage of anyone else financially or otherwise.

After my hygienist was done I sat and waited for the Doctor to come in. I waited and waited some almost an hour and twenty minutes. What a joke. I finally asked the hygienist to see when I would be seen. She came back and told me 10 to 15 minutes. I wasn't going to wait over almost 2 hours. I told her I wanted to go and I did.

Birthday Breakfast? Nope. Birthday at the Dentist…read more Nothing says "Happy Birthday!" quite like spending the first part of your special day in a dental chair. But honestly, I wouldn't have it any other way--especially at Schuchart Dentistry. Today was my regular bi-annual checkup and cleaning, plus I had fillings scheduled for two cavities they found. What I didn't expect was a morning full of firsts, birthday coincidences, and some very nice people. First up was Ryan, the newest dental hygienist--and today was literally his first day at this office. He has more than 15 years of experience as a hygienist, so he clearly knows his way around teeth; he just needed a little time to get acquainted with the machines and his new surroundings. Despite a few minor pauses, he was professional, thorough, and had wonderfully light hands. The cleaning was easy and comfortable, which is pretty much all I ask for when someone is poking around inside my mouth. Of course, I have to give a shout out to Carol, the dental assistant who usually takes care of me. She handled my 350-degree X-rays today before handling me to Ryan. Carol has such a sweet and caring personality that she has become part of my "dentist anxiety management team." I always feel calmer when she's around. Then Cassey took over and prepped me for my fillings with Dr. Chris Schuchart . She was professional, thorough, and--here's another birthday plot twist--her 19-year-old son shares my birthday! And apparently, one of Dr. Chris's children does too. At this point, I was starting to wonder if I accidentally booked my birthday party at the dentist's office. Dr. Chris was quick, efficient, and also thorough with my fillings, and thankfully, he also has those coveted light hands. Afterwards, Cassey handed me my new Invisalign trays and the fluoride varnish kit--which I decided to bravely apply myself at home. Some things are better left to the professionals; apparently, fluoride varnish is where I draw the line. And I can't forget Sage at the front office, who is always a huge help. From appointment reminders to making check-in practically effortless, she consistently makes the administrative side of visiting the dentist painless--which, frankly, should be standard everywhere. I really do love coming here. The dentists and staff at Schuchart Dentistry are warm, welcoming, and genuinely caring will still being professional. It's the kind nun of place where everyone seems to remember that there's an actual person attached to the set of teeth they're working on. My only request for my next appointment: Can I please have Carol again? Her calm, sweet personality makes going to the dentist feel considerably less intimidating. So yes, I started my birthday in a dental chair. No cake, (oh I brought them donuts) no champagne, just x-rays, fillings, Invisalign, and fluoride. Would I do it again? Absolutely. That's how much I like this place.

Being new-ish to San Antonio, it's been years (Yike!) since my last check up and cleaning and having settled in to our new home, it was time to select a practice near our home. There are so many options on Potranco and more dental offices pop up every 6 months or so as the community continues to grow. Schuchart popped up right at the entrance of my community, Arcadia Ridge. I can literally walk there in 10 mins. I'd seen this dental office on social media and love the aesthetic of the outside. The photos of the inside I've seen was just as impressive. The husband-wife team of dentists are young and family oriented. I knew I'd found my place! GETTING IN: scheduling an appointment was so easy. The gal I spoke to was very professional and friendly and we easily coordinated a date and time for my initial visit. I show up on the day of my visit very excited. Giddy, even. Let's get these teeth in tip-top shape! Check in was simple and I glance around the large waiting area. Portraits of the dentists and their child are framed and mounted on the wall, along with licenses and certificates. I love the ambiance, still smells brand new, lighting is comfortable and every surface is clean. There's what I can only guess is a child's play room, but I'm not 100% sure. THE TEAM: I have to say, the treatment team in back are awesome. Down to earth and really fun, actually. We shared quite a few laughs in conversation. The equipment is state of the art, so easy for my X-ray results and explanation of my dental health to be broken down simply for me on a screen. I required some repair and the doctor patched me up quick. Overall, I am very happy having trusted my gut with this new practice and I'm sure you can guess I can't wait for my next cleaning. Give them a try!

UPDATE! We took our son for a second opinion. Very mild gingivitis and NO cavities. We actually got…read moreto see the x-rays and photos. DO NOT TRUST POTRANCO FAMILY DENTIST! BEWARE! Today I took my son to the dental office for his bi-annual dental appointment. More or less as an experiment to see if they would provide him with the same diagnosis that was provided to my daughter and myself of "moderate to severe gingivitis." Low and behold, my theory was correct. They diagnose all their "new patients" with moderate to severe gingivitis. Once they diagnose the patient, they begin a scare tactic to get you to pay the money for a deep cleaning that isn't fully covered by your insurance and tell you that you need to buy this $40 mouthwash, that doesn't work and is cheaper on Amazon. Then they want you to return 3 months later for another cleaning that is not covered by your insurance. (But by some miracle, I skipped my 3 month cleaning, didn't use the mouthwash I bought, and just brushed my teeth, I no longer had any signs of gingivitis at my 6 month visit...) And if you refuse the deep cleaning, they don't bother to offer the regular cleaning covered by your insurance stating that "it's a liability for us to do so." Wouldn't you want to do something versus nothing? They did this to both my daughter and my son. So both of my children, who had "moderate to severe gingivitis" weren't even offered a regular cleaning? The diagnosis was made by the dental hygienist...not the dentist. Which, in case it is not known (because obviously this office doesn't know it) is illegal. The way I know this is because when my daughter was there, the dentist told her that she didn't have moderate to severe gingivitis and that they would keep "an eye on it". I will say, though, the dentists are kind individuals. They are good at what they do, and seem more honest than the hygienist that they employ. They were able to fix a cavity for my daughter on the spot that was causing her significant pain (but according to the hygienist all the pain was coming from her gums...my daughter is no longer in pain BTW...it was the cavity). This is the reason for a two star review. However, if you need a dentist, I would recommend finding one where the hygienist knows what he or she can or cannot do legally or one where the dentist does the cleaning and examines your teeth.
