Thought a long time about leaving a review. I had my gums done about 2 years ago. This was always…read morean insecurity if mine and I finally figured out how to pay for it as insurance does not cover it. About 6-8 months after, I felt my gums hadn't looked as I wanted them to and just wasn't overall too happy with the result. So I called back and made an appt. I thought maybe my gums were growing back maybe since my teeth had looked different from the pictures I took right when I got the procedure (once it healed). To note, this was over $5,000 and I still felt guilty saying I wanted it touched up. Dr. Shapiro was nice but she told me they looked fine and charged me $50 for the appointment. I cried the whole way home. 2 years later, I'm looking into getting the procedure again with a different doc which will be another $5,000. While my experience was great the first time, I felt swept to the side when I wanted to go back even though this procedure took me forever to financially recover from. But I felt since it was my smile it mattered and I wanted to love it. Just for others who may be saving for this, make sure you advocate for yourself.

They made an appointment for the fitting, which was supposed to be on September 23rd. We were contacted today, September 18th, letting us know that our insurance would not authorize the treatment without trying a CPAP first. I spent several hours speaking to different departments at our insurance company to find out the procedure and after much research and speaking with a high level supervisor, it was confirmed to me that we did NOT need any prior authorization, nor does my son need to try a CPAP before getting a mouth guard. When I called the office to discuss this with them, I was met with a rude women who would not allow me to speak. Who in fact told me that I could pay them $2500 upfront and then fight with my insurance company to be paid back. She was a receptionist...not even billing! Do not go to this dentist office is you would like to ask questions or advocate for yourself. They do not want to hear anything at all and think they know what they are talking about...not to mention WAY overpriced. I called my own dentist and asked about a mouth guard and was told is was only $1500 and we could submit the claim. Awful!!!

So my orthodontist Dr. Michael Brennan in Warwick (which by the way, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND. He is by…read morefar, the best, and most humble, orthodontist I've ever had for me and my family) told me after I got my braces off, to go see Dr. Chung for a splinting procedure, because my upper teeth would not fully straighten up, even with braces on. So, I go to his office. When I met Dr. Chung,and sat down on the chair, he came in and just tapped each of my upper teeth, and numbering them, that needed the splinting. It took no more than 1 min. After he finished, I wanted to ask him some question before going through with the Splint procedure. He abruptly interrupted me, and said "You want straight teeth? Yes or No?" Lol, I said yes. "OK, THEN." With a straight and grumpy face. I know it may sound a bit funny. However at the time, I felt disrespected by him, and he was really rude. I don't know what his problem was. I'm the one that's getting the procedure and have to live with it, not him. It's strange though, how my humble orthodontist, recommend me to this rude, incompetent man. He quickly rushed out, and didn't fully answer any of my questions. The whole meeting, was a Quick 2-3 min meet. When I got to the secretary, to schedule the next appointment, they charged me $80 just for a 2-3 min consultation! I have great dental insurance. It should be for free the consultation, in my opinion. Especially, if another doctor recommended me to him. Smdh. Just fyi, I do have dental insurance from my job, working for the state. But my insurance said, it doesn't cover for it because this is considered, a cosmetic. So in the end, I didn't like the experience was a thumbs down. I gave it two stars because, #1 the location is nice, and the #2 the secretary was kinda nice. I will get the splint done. Just, not with this asshole of a doctor. if you have to go meet him, just remember, that he is a bit of an asshole, they charge you $80 for the consultation, and may not answer any of your question in detail. So be warned. Hopefully things will change for the better with him.

Recently discovering that I was in need of gum surgery, I set out looking simply for someone that took my insurance. What I found was this and so much more! Jeffrey Shapiro, DMD was recommended to me by a family member who had had several procedures done at this office. After my first consultation, I was convinced that I too, had made the right choice in my care. Dr. Shapiro examined my mouth in detail, checking not only the areas noted by my primary dentist but any other potential problems as well. In discussing my case, treatment options were presented along with reasonable rationales for course of action. He was sure to review the benefits and risks of the procedure and thoroughly explored my concerns and questions. As a medical professional myself, I highly appreciated this detailed review. In knowing specifics regarding treatment time, recovery expectations, procedure cost, and the like, I was able to make an informed decision about how best to fit my visits into a busy schedule. Never a big fan of dental work, I was a ball of nerves walking into the office on procedure day. The team working here at this office though do a wonderful job to help ease the stress associated with their trade. From the welcoming receptionists to the helpful and competent support staff to Jeffrey Shapiro himself, I was generally at ease as I settled in for the procedure. Dr. Shapiro explained everything step by step so I knew what to expect throughout the entire thing. All in all, I was out of there in no time. My follow up experience has been equally as pleasant and though I wish to not have to return again in the future, Ill know exactly who to look for if needed. Periodontal Associates has this office and another in Middletown, RI. They offer a variety of hours and specialize in a multitude of procedures ranging from periodontal therapy, cleanings, dental implants, Invisalign, night guards, whitening and digital x-rays (according to their website). New patients are able to fill out necessary forms online through their website. They have a decent size parking lot attached to the building with ample street parking as well if needed. It is conveniently located on the East Side of Providence, just minutes from the highway. Once again, highly recommended!
