    The dental work itself was well done, the office is soothing and the environment is nice. On my…read moresecond visit, I was told that my insurance was considered out of network BUT that they had MANY patients with my insurance and they would work to get most of my visit covered (it was just a routine cleaning and X-rays). the hygienist was lovely and very kind and sympathetic. I had to wait in the chair for a very long time after the cleaning to speak with the doctor (so long I had to make calls to cancel things and make alternate arrangements for my kids). When the dentist finally came in, she started a conversation about the high costs of running a dental practice?!? (We had only met one time before this). She then seemed shocked when she presented her very elaborate plan to me and I responded with "yes, lets please start with the most urgent and space treatment out because cost is a very serious concern and barrier". she then sent her hygienist in to ask me if I wanted veneers!!!!!! months later, a $500 bill arrived..... that did not at all match any of the estimates and promises I had been given for a simple cleaning and xrays. now that I am here looking through other reviews, I see that this is something other patients have experienced as well. truly unfortunate since it is a nice office with a great premise.

    Ruby is non-caring, and just doesn't have a bedside manner that I've had from the previous dentist…read moreshe bought out. She may know a lot, but she's just not someone who should be running a business. Her business acumen is so poor. If you want someone who's just focused on driving her revenue and not developing a long-term dental relationship with, she's the dentist to follow. Otherwise, save yourself the headache.

    Wow! My experience with the current ownership of this long time (70+ years - two previous owners)…read moredental practice is also spot on. Both my wife & i had been coming to this office for over 50 years. Dr. Andrea Ruby purchased the business approximately in 2018. We continued receiving dental care here, now under Dr. Ruby. About two years ago my wife had misgivings about the care she was receiving and decided to leave. Much to my detriment i stayed. My horror began November 7, 2022, the day my brother passed away. Coincidentally i had an appointment scheduled the same day and i obviously cancelled & re-scheduled the appointment. I had to cancel the re-scheduled appointment because of exposure to Covid. So, the appointment was re-scheduled again. When i arrived for the re-scheduled appointment i was met by a hostile, belligerent, threatening, intimidating young lady who informed me i would need to pay $50 for the previous cancellation or Dr. Ruby would not see me!!! The cancellation was inside the 24 or 48hr window. I guess i needed a divine revelation my brother was going to die on November 7 allowing me to cancel within the arbitrarily set timeline. I was stunned to say the least. I was seated, she was standing over me demanding i pay. It was embarrassing. This was Dr. Ruby's newly minted receptionist/office mgr. After she conferred with Dr. Ruby the $50 "fine" was waived. In retrospect i should have walked out never to return. But being Mr. nice guy even though being very upset, i decided to stay. The next two appointments went smoothly. Knowing how volatile the receptionist could be i avoided any confrontation. Moving forward, i received a letter dated June 15, 2023 stating Ruby Dental will no longer accept my insurance as an in-service provider. As stated in the letter "reimbursements for procedures do not meet the current climate of compensating our staff properly." I guess compensating staff would be out of my pocket? So, again i stayed. I must be a glutton for punishment. I changed my insurance provider and had an appointment scheduled for 1/03/2024. I was informed by the receptionist/office mgr that birth dates on office records and insurance records did not match. The insurance had a wrong birth date which meant a claim could not be filed. And i would have to pay out of pocket. Once again i cancelled an appointment. Thinking it would be a quick fix, i would reschedule. I never had a chance. I was informed by letter that because "of last minute cancellations" (only allowed three) and "differences in dental philosophies and office operations" i was no longer a good fit. I didn't know i had a dental philosophy. I was fired. Oh, i forgot, the letter included a statement for $50 for cancellations!! The result of all this is that Ruby Dental lost two very long term patients The birth date quick fix was anything but. It took three months of dealing with the insurance bureaucracy to get the date corrected. I just received a second statement for that $50 with a note that claims i cancelled four appointments. I only have record of three "allowed" cancellations initiated by me (my brothers passing, Covid exposure, the insurance date mix up) The fourth was actually cancelled & rescheduled by the office because a crown did not arrive by the appointment time. I was never a no show. The cancellation window is purely arbitrary. I did want to remain with this office (God knows why) & i made every effort to do so despite the difference in philosophy (still can't figure that), poor management, rude & hostile behavior by the receptionist. These days it seems like there is a dental office on every corner and i believe i have found a good one.

    I cannot put into words how grateful I am for Dr. Constantin and the entire team at Parkway Dental…read moreCenter, but I will try -- because they truly changed my life. I underwent full-mouth dental implants with bone grafting and a sinus lift, something I had been told by other dentists and oral surgeons was impossible in my case. I was told I would have to live with partials, limitations, and a broken smile. Those words were devastating and left me feeling hopeless. From the very first visit, Dr. Constantin was different. He was honest -- he said it would be difficult -- but he also said something no one else would: that it was absolutely possible. That belief, paired with his skill and precision, changed everything. Today, I have the most beautiful smile I've ever had -- and the confidence to match. Every compliment I receive, I owe to Parkway Dental Center. Beyond the exceptional clinical work, what truly sets this practice apart is the heart of everyone there. From the front desk to the assistants to Dr. Constantin himself, they are thoughtful, compassionate, and genuinely caring to every person who walks through their doors. You are treated as a human being, not a case number. Where others saw "no way," Parkway Dental Center found a way. If you have been told something is impossible, if you feel afraid, discouraged, or unheard -- this is the place to go. I will forever be thankful to Dr. Constantin and his incredible staff for giving me back my smile, my confidence, and my quality of life.
