I definitely do not recommend that others use this dental office for services such as root canal care.

If you are a UMN grad student, think twice before accepting a referral from Boynton to The Dental…read moreSpecialists (TDS). In my case, even though UMN grad medical insurance covered root canals, TDS initially did not bill my medical insurance, leaving me with a nearly $1,200 bill. The TDS office was extremely difficult to reach and largely dismissive of my concerns. I only got this resolved months later -- after repeated calls and emails with Boynton, TDS, and Blue Cross Blue Shield, and after filing complaints with the UMN Office of Student Health Benefits and the Minnesota Attorney General. The Office of Student Health Benefits and Boynton ultimately stepped in, but TDS did not assist in resolving the issue. My bill is now resolved, but the process was exhausting and entirely preventable.

I was further impressed that (prior to extracting my tooth), Dr Haas took the time for some 'getting to know you' conversation which was truly the antithesis of the corporate, time-pressure model of care that is so commonplace today. I give full and enthusiastic kudos, and much appreciation for the quality of care. Thank you.

Alina Maria Stangu - Practice Manager - Park Dental Edina…read more Poor insurance approval process. I was repeatedly asked to provide payment more than 1 year after a crown, without clear explanation or documentation regarding the status of insurance appeals on why coverage was denied. Pre-authorization was not obtained. Alina demanded payment with no explanation on how to alleviate issue on approval and proper documentation for the 2nd crown. The first crown was presented as medically necessary, with the explanation that failure to proceed could result in a root canal which is why we proceeded. Given the importance of this treatment, the lack of clear communication, documentation and transparency around insurance appeals was particularly concerning. Overall, the process reflected poor communication, insufficient documentation and inadequate explanation regarding insurance handling and patient financial responsibility. Extremely unprofessional and very disappointed in the service.

I had several appointments for a tooth replacement. Some people I encountered were friendly and…read morecompetent. Others were not, a couple were obstinate bordering on rude and one of the doctors spent 50 minutes fitting a temporary tooth but when he finally said "all done" I looked at it in a mirror and it was VERY obviously not a correct fit. They had to order a new one. When it came to permanently replacing the tooth the first one didn't fit either and they had to have another one produced. Putting all 4 or so visits together I'd say the experience was terrible. Suffice to say I have a new dentist/dental office.

I saw Dr. Ballin to have a growth on my tongue removed and another time for a consult to have my…read morewisdom teeth removed. This office is a well-oiled machine and runs so incredibly smoothly. I was very impressed. Dr. Ballin was matter of fact but kind, however, during my procedure I became a bit scared due to medical PTSD from an extended hospital stay because of being caught in a house fire. Something triggered that, and I began to mildly hyperventilate. Rather than speak kindly and softly to me to try to calm me down, Dr. Ballin became irritated and snapped at me to calm down and not hyperventilate. This did not help. When I went to see him for the wisdom tooth removal consult, totally unprompted, he told me, "Because of how your throat is built, you would still have sleep apnea even if you weren't so heavy." Thanks for the comment on my weight, sir, but pretty sure I did not ask for your opinion either on that or on sleep apnea. He lost my business after this. I now use OMS. If you're thin, he's a great oral surgeon, but if you're "heavy" I'd suggest avoiding his practice since he seems to be unable to keep his thoughts on appearance to himself.

His thorough explanations of the process and options made me feel respected and part of the process. His knowledge and skills are amazing and evident throughout the processes and in the final result. It's hard to relax when coming in to have this type of surgery but after talking to Dr Lowe and especially after the first of three procedures, I knew i was in good hands and could do just that. I was especially impressed that Dr Lowe himself called me the day after the surgery's to see how I was doing. As stated in another review he is professional, caring and thorough. He is also supported by a great group of folks at Twin Cities Periodontics. They were also very attentive to my needs, whether it was a need for pain control, working with Dr Lowe to arrange an appointment asap when his schedule was already full, assisting with procedures, or follow-up/appointment directions/explanations. Patient care and comfort is clearly a priority and very much appreciated.
