Misrepresentation, Pre-Charging without consent, and Privacy Breach. I do not recommend Nikisha…read moreJodhan. Across three procedures from 2021 to 2025, after reviewing the history of my account, I was quoted a lower price each time and then billed more after the procedures were done. They blamed the insurance and the app they use to estimate, but the fact is they don't do pre-authorization for their quotes. For my recent procedure in 2025, they failed to disclose a prior denial for the same code and same tooth from 2021, yet still gave me a quote that was wrong and later told me the insurance "unexpectedly declined" the same code. They also pre-charged me before insurance finished processing, without my consent, which broke their own policy and added confusion to the bill. This left me questioning whether they already anticipated there would be a remaining balance - otherwise, the pre-charge and refund back doesn't make any sense. When I reviewed the documents they sent me, I also found another patient's EOB in my file. Overall, this office shows a pattern of low quoting followed by higher bills, lacks transparency in billing, and fails to safeguard patient privacy. If this is their standard practice, I can only imagine how many patients may have ended up with the same experience I had.

Dr N. Jodhan refused to respond to 5+ of my calls - she was mileading, misrepresented my pay by…read moreover $1000, and I believe manipulating. Their staff estimated my service to be $2000+ for a tooth extraction, for which they estimated my insurance would pay half the amount, leaving my responsibility to be $1061.00. to which I paid before I left the premise. A month or two later, I received a bill for $1076.50 - the amount my insurance denied. Looking back, I realized I was naive and they manipulated the situation. I thought they would be accurate by merit that Dr. Jodhan's was a professional organization, that their estimates were accurate based on experience. It was after they put my apron for surgery was put that that said I needed to confirm. I assumed that because they were professionals, I might be obligated to pay $100-200. Also, when though the estimated included a tooth graft, they have the recommendation again - thinking back they knew it was optional all along! $1000+ is a huge amount. Knowing that the insurance company pays a substantially lesser amount than the listed price. And their estimate was way off. I called to discuss a mutually responsible settlement. After ignoring 5+ calls, Dr. Nikisha Jodhan instructed that I could pay the full amount with a payment plan. I find her actions to be irresponsive, manipulative, and misleading--which will cost me $1000+ more than I expected She offered a payment plan after I declared to publicize my experience. I am setting up the payment plan, and I plan to share my experience. I have sent her a similar email--continuing to request discussion. She has not responded. VERIFY ALL INFORMATION BEFORE SITTING ON HER CHAIR!

I've gone here on and off for years. The cleanings are great. The dental staff is very…read moreknowledgeable and overall are usually friendly. Prices seem higher than other offices. However, I've noticed that every single crown done here has ended up needing a root canal. My last crown done here that didn't need one is currently acting up and is going to need one as well. A few years back, Dr. Kase fitted a crown and I remember his hand was very rough - he pulled and pushed on the tooth he was working on very hard and seemed very frustrated while working on it. The tooth was in extreme pain for several days following this. This tooth ended up needing a root canal shortly over a year afterwards and was also suffering from root resorption which I was told is fairly rare and could be caused by trauma to the tooth (which the tooth never had aside from the rough handling during the crown fitting here). I also ran into a massive problem with Delta Dental insurance over them not wanting to cover a root canal done on a crowned tooth done at this office since they already had recently paid for a crown on that same tooth. After fighting with them for months, in the end they refused to cover the root canal. It's hard to tell if the insurance was being unreasonablly difficult and cheap, or they just felt it was a red flag that the same tooth needed to have extensive work done twice within a short period of time (or maybe a combination of both). Either way, the odds of needing root canals shortly after having crowns done are fairly low enough to the point that it is somewhat alarming that every single crown done here needed a root canal in a relatively short period of time afterwards. I simply think that it's only prudent to be weary about this.

This place is now called Akers Stohle & Murphy, Dr. M. Timothy Murphy having recently become a…read morepartner in this practice. And it was my misfortune to be referred to Murphy by my dentist for a tooth extraction and an implant. Every day stuff for most dental surgeons, right? Well, for me it turned into a three month ordeal of pain, illness and expense. The critical issue in an implant is whether there is enough bone to set the post to later receive the false tooth. After a series of scans I was assured by Murphy that there was indeed enough bone to take the post. The issue of proximity to the sinus cavity was never discussed, though that later proved to be something I should have been made aware of. The tooth extraction went fine. He placed the post. So far so good. Then I started getting headaches. Bad headaches and fever. As it turned out, he had breached the sinus cavity and an infection set in. I was given penicillin based antibiotics, which didn't do the trick. There was an accident - I bit into an olive pit, which dislodged the post. Went to see Murphy again. He removed the post and placed bone grafts to build up the area to receive the post again after healing took place. The headaches and fever continued. I went to see him yet again to get help for the serious sinus infection and debilitating headaches I was suffering from as a result of the procedure. At that time - my last face-to-face meeting with Murphy - I asked what he was going to do to provide me some relief. In reply, he simply shrugged his shoulders and offered the advice that maybe I "wasn't meant to have an implant." And... that was it. He showed an appalling lack of concern, and gave no help or hope for a further course of treatment. It was apparent that he couldn't get rid of me fast enough. So much for the Hippocratic Oath. So much for professional pride and care. Shortly thereafter I received a letter from Murphy which "fired" me as his patient. The letter stated, "Our relationship seems to be missing the important elements of communication, trust and mutual understanding" and that it was his opinion that "my recommendations for your dental treatment are not being followed". That was pure nonsense. I'd done everything I'd been asked. The only recommendation of Murphy's I didn't follow was to keep paying his bills. I saw a different implant specialist for an opinion. She examined me thoroughly and gave the opinion that there was insufficient bone under where Murphy attempted to place the implant and it never should have been attempted in the first place. This doctor also said it should have been apparent to Murphy from the x-rays and scans that the sinus cavity opening was too close to where the work was done and the chance of breaking into the cavity and causing an infection were too great to take the risk. But that's what Murphy did; he took the risk - with my health. As a consequence, I suffered from chronic headaches and sinus problems for a month before, in an attempt to avoid surgery, an ENT doctor recommended Clindamycin - a very powerful antibiotic. Unfortunately, though the Clindamycin cured the sinus infection, it also wiped out all of the beneficial gut bacteria in my intestines, enabling opportunistic bacteria to take hold. As a result, I now have been diagnosed with colitis and C. diff., and am struggling to regain the good health I enjoyed prior to the unlucky day I walked into Murphy's office. Murphy never should have performed that implant in the first place. Everything that has happened to me since has been the direct result of his incompetence and his unprofessional and brazen disregard for responsible caution with the health of his patients. Even all that might have been forgiven at some level - doctors are only human, everyone makes mistakes, etc. - but the worst part is, when push came to shove, he really didn't care at all. He had taken his shot with me and when things went wrong he just wanted to wash his hands of what had turned into an annoying problem. In my opinion this guy is nothing but a quack in a lab coat. And a shameful embarrassment to the medical profession. There were other issues in this office; members of the staff did not know how to operate the equipment properly, their billing practices are overly aggressive, etc. But for me it was all about Dr. Murphy. If you are considering using him I cannot say this strongly enough - DO NOT let this man work on your teeth.
