Before the doctor even talked to me, He started to yell about how old the scans I brought in were. ( they were taken less than 6 weeks before- the amount of time it took me to get an appointment) He just got meaner as the appointment went on. I sat and said nothing, because I was so surprised by his demeanor. I was there because my dentist referred me because In the process of getting an implant it was discovered I had some bone loss that needed addressed for the implant to work The treatment plan he suggested was very invasive and costly. I went and had two other consultations elsewhere where I was treated kindly and given other options. The practice I ultimately chose took great care of me .They treated me with compassion, used a much less invasive procedure and less costly treatment plan.

He immediately explained on the phone that he does not take insurance and that he is able to set up a payment plan for future visits. When I walked in and met with Dr. Sams, I immediately knew I could trust him. He asked me about my problems and then when we got into the exam, he could tell exactly what I meant when I was telling him about my symptoms. He validated everything that I was worried about and explained everything to me and was very patient. He even handed me a mirror and showed me the things that he was pointing to in my mouth. While I would prefer a doctor who takes my dental insurance, I have no problem going to him and paying out-of-pocket.

I called Dr. Sams, he was very nice on the phone and he told me how much it would be, and to see him at 3 pm. Not only was he nice to me, but I had my elderly step mom with me, and he was very nice to her as well. He had no problem making me feel less anxious. He was very calming and kept telling me I was doing well and to breathe. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is having an emergency. He is all around a great guy. He told me he could do three different percedures, and I chose to have the tooth removed. He drew a tooth on paper and showed me what he would do for a root canal for so much money, and they he said he could remove the tooth for $377, but this included the exam and X-ray. It showed I had an infection into my jaw from my tooth. When he was done, he showed me the tooth so I could see it came out in one piece. Gave me pain meds and antibiotics. Great care.

I don't have insurance, so this amount is a bridge too far. Building a walled garden around quality dental care is a terrible way to run a business. The cost is on account of a number of tests which have to be performed BEFORE they clean your teeth. I don't have any major concerns, so what is the fuss about? How about trusting the testimony of the patient? How about working with the patient instead of dictating to me what I should do? Quality care shouldn't be made inaccessible like this, it's so frustrating. And the office telling me to "kick rocks" was the real "kick in the teeth" that got me to write this review. Let's hope YELP keeps it up for others
