I came into Ottley smiles for the first time and I have payed them $250 nearly every visit, on top of insurance. They insist on asking me if I have a job and work over and over for some reason. I had a front tooth break in half and become nearly abscessed. ( Half the tooth was already fake as I had cosmetic work done on it nearly a decade ago.) They told me in an email that they may have to reschedule me if i didn't have a certain amount of money. I had to ask for anti-biotics, as they did not offer me anything for three whole visits after I came in with the tooth. it seemed like they did not care if i died from it, as i was being slowly poisoned to death from this tooth ( see the screenshot of the email that I've attached.) What I mean by that is they were more concerned about money it seems. All in all I found them incredibly insulting. I feel like they look at me and think of me with this attitude like I'm some broke crackhead off the street because of a missing front tooth. I have most of my teeth, and I am a great person. I got a lot of bad vibes from the dentist the last time I saw her, and her assistant. They had a very sassy tone in their voice, and looked at me harshly, with this aggressive twinkle in their eyes. Her assistants comments about how it's cool to eat an ugly animal but not a cute one was rather off-putting as well. The attitude and vibes from a lot of the people there really makes me want to never come back to their office again, however; I have no choice. I have been paying in to them. I have to get this tooth fixed so that I can satisfy the superficial demands of society, so people won't treat me like a looser because of a missing front tooth.. which, is not an accurate indication of someones character anyway. We all bleed the same color, we all breath the same air, we all live on the same amazing planet, and in the same incredible universe. I'd really appreciate it if this dentist office and the entire world could treat everyone with the same amount of respect and dignity that they deserve; regardless of what color someones skin is, how little or how much money someone makes, how many teeth someone has in their mouth, or how cute or how ugly someone is judged to be. These people need to grow up. They are judgmental, superficial, and insulting. I think they have displayed the most despicable behaviors any human beings could ever display, and I find it sickening.
Grow up Ottley smiles. This partial tooth is a fake as the respect that I get for wearing it.. But, you guys don't seem to understand the difference between someones appearance and someones true character.

They asked me nicely if I could remove this review, and apologized. ( It would be a lot more meaningful if they didn't try to gas light me into believing i was imagining things when I'm very familiar with non-verbal communication and psychology, and if the apology actually came from the two "people" involved instead of someone who gets paid to defend their diabolical behavior )The Dr denys she meant anything by it but this is what I have to say about that.
Nonverbal communication is everything.. the tone in their voices, the looks on their faces, the body language, the bad vibes, the negative energy, is what speaks the loudest. Besides, the proper question would have been to ask where do you work, what do you do? Not, "do you have a job? do work? in a condescending tone. On top of that, this doesn't negate the other insulting superficial comment of her assistant. She did mean something by it. So yes, she was being insulting and her denying it is total hog wash.

They won't respond to my emails. I asked for an apology, nothing.
Update: 10/19/15
I asked for a refund. The girl on the phone ( rachel ) said I had $6xx credit left. She won't return my calls or emails. I called up the office later on to ask about my credit and they said they didn't know how much was there until a few weeks down the road. Rachel will not respond to my emails or call me back as they people on the phone said she would. read more
