Before all that I would have to have a deep cleaning. I went in to get teeth cleaned. I was going to my family dentist in another city where I just moved from to Ocala. Meant every4 months and did not have any problems. I refused their service asked what I owed all of it. Was told $85.00. I paid it and went back to family dentist who is 1 1/2 hours away. He checked my teeth and did erays and found no infection and said I did not nerd a deep cleaning. It was all a scam to get money. Then they didn't use my insurance to bill for xrays. They sent me a bill for $290.00.

I arrive Friday morning and they told me I never confirmed my appointment and that they cannot fit me in. They even tried stating they called at 8 AM the day of my appointment. I was awake at 7 AM, no missed calls on my phone. I drove 30 minutes into town for no reason and now have to drive ANOTHER 30 minutes into town next week for my re-scheduled appointment. Poor office management on their part. I'm extremely frustrated with this recent experience.

They do fluoride treatments and sealants, regardless. They asked her, not the people with the medical authority. They asked her even when I was back there with her. You have to remind them because even though I said no they were going to do it anyway and I caught them. This is after I already said no. They ended up doing it when I had to send my husband and they told him that he couldn't go back there. Not impressed with their ability to follow a court order or parents wishes. If there were a way to fine them for them going against a court order I would. Why do they even ask people if they can do those treatments when they will try to do them anyway regardless if you said no? Can't be trusted.

First off I was not allowed in the back while she had an exam. I can understand an office doing that for every visit after the first... but NOT prior too. She doesn't know them, trust them, want to be around them without her mother. Second, I never met the dentist... EVER! I spoke with an assistant before my daughter went back and after... that's the only staff member I met other than a receptionist. If my daughter is going to be sedated (whether completely under or mild) I want to be able to put a face with a name. Third, it took an hour and a half to clean her teeth, have a few x-rays, and an exam by the dentist. Last but not least my daughter wet her pants. She's 2. The assistant informed me of the incident and said "she didn't even tell us she had to go"..... -.-..... really? SHE'S 2! 'Nough said. I posted this on another website and I will continue to do so on every review site I can.

That guy REFUSED to allow me back with 3 of my minor daughters that were under 12 at the time. He said that children behave better without their parents. Which for my kids is not true. They pleaded for me to go back with with them but he absolutely refused. The incident happened a few weeks before he overdosed the child. My two youngest were so heavily sedated that my oldest daughter and I had to each carry them out to the car. They slept the whole ride home. They couldn't even eat dinner that night and went straight to bed until the next morning. This was only for a few fillings. The third child needed an adult tooth pulled, and he told me just to pull it that I would have to pay $400.00. I refused because as a single mom on Medicaid I didn't have that kind of money. I also had 2 teeth pulled for $400.00. Michael Tarver told me that I was more than welcome to take her where I had my tooth pulled, but likely they would overdose her on pain meds. I find this highly ironic since he as done this more than once. He used SCARETATICS on a single mom that is living paycheck to paycheck. I threw a fit when they quoted me for the extraction, so HE came out to talk to me personally. I remember his face and his condescending demeanor. He is a truly horrible human. I can't believe they are still allowing this man to practice dentistry. His license should be revoked.

I told the woman that i had a real fear of dentists, and she ran with that. I was talked to like a child,and when I left I felt like Id been condescended to. It wasn't comforting.
