This is a very dishonest dental clinic. They charged over $500 to extract a single tooth and…read morerequired patients to pay upfront before seeking reimbursement from their insurance. Patients have no idea about their pricing beforehand and end up paying out of pocket without understanding the cost. I paid $533 for a tooth extraction, but my insurance only reimbursed $119 because the clinic's fees are much higher than what the insurance company is willing to cover. At other dental clinics, you only need to pay less than $200 out of pocket, and $179 of that is a once-a-year fee that won't be charged again for your next visit. I strongly advise everyone to avoid this greedy clinic.

AVOID THIS SCAM, graduate students! I was looking for a new dentist and spoke with their…read morereceptionist, who assured me that they take graduate students' Delta Dental and have plenty of grad student patients. She warned me that they require payment upfront and then submit the bill to Delta Dental for reimbursement. When I arrived for my appointment, I confirmed this information again with the front desk and my hygienist. A simple check-up with no problems or peculiarities cost me $300!! Delta Dental couldn't cover more than half because of Anderson's exorbitant rate! A Delta Dental representative told me she'd never seen anyone charge so much. It took five weeks of back and forth with a rude Anderson Dental administrative worker, who kept interrupting me, telling me to stop talking, and spouting nonsense about the importance of communication and recognizing that these processes take time (FIVE WEEKS!? Just admit that you forgot or were trying to wait me out) to receive payment from Anderson Dental after they'd acknowledge that they had misled me. These people are scammers and their workers should be embarrassed that they stoop to trying to steal from graduate students. Never going back.

I deeply regret my experience with Dr Standley and wish I had sought a second opinion before…read moreproceeding with treatment. After moving, I saw this dentist for a checkup and was told I needed seven fillings, even though my previous dentist had only recommended monitoring those areas. Trusting their judgment, I went ahead with the work. After the fillings were placed, I experienced persistent dental pain. It hurt to bite down, floss, and even eat moderately cool foods --something as simple as room-temperature toothpaste became painful. I returned multiple times hoping for relief, but only minor adjustments, such as polishing, were made, and the discomfort never fully went away. Years later, I finally decided to switch dentists after living with ongoing pain. My new dentist noted that one of the most painful fillings might not be possible to fix due to its size and that another had a shadow near the nerve, meaning I may now need a root canal ("Doesn't it hurt?" my new dentist asked, surprised. "The other ones hurt more" I replied). I can't help but wonder if some of these fillings were unnecessary in the first place. I wish I had questioned the extent of the treatment before agreeing to it, as I am now dealing with chronic dental pain and uncertainty about my health. I may never be able to enjoy food without pain again, and I'm deeply worried about what my future holds in terms of dental work and discomfort. I'm sharing my experience so others can make informed decisions about their own dental care and hopefully avoid what I'm going through. The other 1 star review here mirrors my experience exactly, down to the flippant attitude regarding botched fillings. I wish I had seen it before.

My main issue is that I called prior to going for routine dental work to inquire if they took my…read moreinsurance. I discovered later that they take all insurance. The big issue is whether they are in the network of the particular insurance. I found this out after my work was done and now I am stuck with a bill of nearly $200. I am retired and on a fixed income from Social Security so these kinds of slight of hand are troublesome. I learned a lesson which will help in future conversations with medical and dental providers. The office staff and dental assistants were are friendly and kind--I am just left with a bad taste in my mouth that this information was deliberately concealed from me--since I did not specifically ask the network question. I will from now on. I will not be advising people to go to this dentist however.

They have charged the wrong insurance leaving me with an unpaid balance they say I must pay before scheduling an appointment or before they will submit a claim to the correct insurance, as well as contacted and discussed my information with my parents despite me being over the age of 18. While my in person experience has been great, the headaches I have had due to this negligence often has me wishing to go to another dental practice in town. When I called to attempt and correct my information the most recent time, the office staff began telling me about my brothers insurance and balances. I am concerned about the handling of private information in relation to HIPAA at this practice.

He checked me over, did a quick x-ray, scheduled my procedure, I returned in 2 weeks . . . and twenty minutes later walked out extremely grateful. I felt so much better. Dr. Brunson is a very fine dentist. Nothing hurt. The cost was way reasonable. If you haven't been to a dentist in a while, check this place out. They take great care. Thanks to Mary, Angela, Judy, and above all, Jeff.

They go out of their way to make sure you understand all of your options and your insurance coverage. They go over the insurance and estimated coverage and are sure to explain that it is an estimate and it could change once the claim is processed by your insurance plan. I highly recommend this entire team. I was stressed about finding a new dentist after 20 years with my old dentist but Dr Markwood and her team made the transition very easy. In fact I am happier now than I was with my previous dentist.

Caring Family Dental engaged in deceptive practices to convince me to agree to treatment plans,…read morethen turned around and sent me a bill for nearly 4 times what they originally quoted. In their office, they issued extensive verbal assurances about the pricing and they made it seem like they had confirmed everything with insurance, but it turned out that they hadn't done any due diligence at all. They were basically just making up the numbers and telling me they were certain. I paid them everything they quoted me that day, and my insurance paid them too, but 5 weeks later they're demanding hundreds more. No amount of reasoning with them resulted in any progress, and of course they're threatening to send their bloated bill to collections. Apparently, the "Caring Family Dental" name doesn't mean much to them. They're just another version of the corporate dental business that tries to always pile more on. At this point, I would NEVER trust any treatment plan quote they issue, as I know now that they'll just radically alter the numbers afterwards. Even if they tell you with certainty what the numbers will be, I now know that means nothing. I eventually filed a complaint with the Illinois Attorney General and we'll see where that goes, but man, what a huge hassle. I wish more businesses would actually read and abide by Illinois' deceptive practices laws.

I was presented with an estimate for two crowns and other procedures I did not request. I reviewed the estimate and called my insurance company to confirm it was accurate - it was not. I took the estimate back into the office and the billing admin (Treasure) seemed very annoyed and blamed the errors on the receptionist (Monique). I asked for an updated estimate - never received one. I asked them to send my insurance company an estimate so I can at least have a more accurate estimate of what I will be paying - it's been 4 business days and they have sent nothing. I DO NOT recommend this business if you have the means to go elsewhere. Very unprofessional.

The hygienist I had was terrific, Kathy herself was in and out of the appointment but gave me advice and information for a longstanding teeth/jaw issue that I'd never heard of before. I'm not originally from the area so finding a trustworthy dentist who cared about me as a patient but also wasn't going to suggest unnecessary and costly fixes was important, and I've definitely found that! A great little family owned practice in Champaign!

I received no notice -- even though I typically get text confirmations. When I asked what number they had on file, it turned out they had the wrong phone number listed, even though my correct number is on file for my ortho account. I wasn't even aware there were separate accounts, and no one ever informed me. The receptionist, Christina, was dismissive and unhelpful throughout the entire interaction. There was no apology, no ownership of the error, and no attempt to make the situation right. While I was speaking to the manager, I noticed Christina smirking at me from the front desk. I asked her directly why she was laughing at me, and she replied--still smirking--"I'm not, I'm on the phone" in a condescending tone. The manager had to step in and ask her to walk away due to how unprofessional and rude she was acting in front of other patients and staff. To make matters worse, I overheard another patient who had shown up on the wrong day being treated kindly and even worked in. I understand circumstances may differ, but the contrast in how I was treated compared to him was very upsetting. Even though the manager helped me reschedule (which is now three months out), the damage was already done. I left feeling disrespected, dismissed, and deeply disappointed by how poorly the situation was handled. I hope the office takes this seriously and addresses how patients are treated moving forward.
