Med Spa? It hits you in the face when you walk in. How about just dentistry? 2. My first experience they used some sort of plaque laser that I later was charged for because it wasn't covered. I had never heard of this treatment before, and I'm not entirely sure it's of significant value. 3. I was told that I needed to have a 360 scan of my mouth or head for today's appointment - that it's a requirement of the doctor to provide care. This scan is only 50% covered by most insurance, including mine, resulting in a $100+ out of pocket bill. 4. This is the same practice that billed me for a bunch of DeFazio's work when HE was my dentist. I told them I'm NEVER going to pay those invoices. Long story short: They have quality dentists and hygienists, but the business is a money-grubbing enterprise that will stop at nothing to sell you additional services, many of which have nothing to do with dentistry. I found it extremely off-putting. I just want a dentist to make sure my teeth are healthy. I don't want all that crap. He's going to get $0 from me from now on.

I've been going to Dr. Steichen for about 1 year now. He and his team have been working to fix my…read morebite. Long story short, a dentist in Alaska made me a bridge that didn't fit, that he modeled off of another bridge that didn't fit either, so my bite was very badly off, and of course, having an uneven bite like that can ruin ALL of your teeth in no time. Dr. Steichen and his team have been working to fix by bite, my bridge, and the ruined teeth, and now it is SO MUCH BETTER. Thanks to Dr. Steichen, I will be able to keep my all my teeth! This guy is a true professional and is extremely good at what he does. He took me right in without any hesitation, even though the other doctor(s) made the mess. I have learned the hard way that a bite fix takes a HIGHLY SKILLED dentist and team to get it right and these are the guys! They are very patient, precise and meticulous in everything they do, plus they are caring. They also utilize digital computer dentistry, and other techniques that I didn't see other dentists using, and they reexamine your teeth with the latest (safe) computer equipment to find the problem, to verify what you say is the problem, so they will get it right! I would highly recommend them, they are masters at what they do. His dental hygienists are also excellent and they are the very best as well! ( I currently also work in the medical field.) Now I realize that if I had gone to Dr. Steichen in the first place, I would have not only saved bundles of money, but I wouldn't have been so miserable for so long! My goal is to keep all of my teeth. I was born with beautiful teeth, but it also takes a good dentist to keep all of your teeth under such circumstances. Thank God for Dr. Steichen and his team, I don't know what I would have done without them. Dr. Steichen is a totally talented Godsend! :) Dr. Steichen is my forever dentist now. :)

Last time I was here I had a tooth ache but they couldn't tell me why. They did explain my bill in great detail and offered me an appointment a month away with a specialist, which I laughed at. I came back the following Monday to see the specialist, still in pain and I still wasn't given a direct answer. I was given another bill and they told me they didn't know what was causing the pain but I may need another crown for $1200. Weeks later and the pain has resolved and I save $1200. This seemed like a scam and I won't be back. No answers but sure provided me with bills and billed my insurance.

My Seattle dentist (Dr. Cris Simmons) is one of the top TMJ specialists in the world. His wife/secretary (Anna) referred me to Dr. Sanchez. I called for an appointment and was offered a free half-hour consultation. I phoned back Anna and she said that's a very good sign. She said that if they wanted me to make an appointment for x-rays, run the other direction. Lol During the consultation, it was clear that Dr. Sanchez had years of advanced specialized training with TMJ. He inspected my appliance and said he can definitely make one that's comparable. But even though it's slightly chipped in the front, it won't affect the functionality or comfort so it's not worth wasting my money on a new one. His advice was to continue using it until there's more serious wear. I felt relieved to find a dentist in my new city who's honest AND a highly experienced expert with TMJ.

Guess I'm the exception to the negative reviews left for this office…read more I went to this Aspen Dental after a crown popped out to see about getting it replaced and my regular dental practice had a long wait time to see me. I had very friendly interaction with both Tristan (dental assistant) and Christopher (office manager I believe), as well as Dr Taylor. They were very forthcoming about care options going forward and set up expectations for costs. I now have some professional input to inform my choices on what to do next. As I was being escorted out, I asked about payment for this visit (single x-ray, brief exam & consult with dentist) and was informed there was no charge for initial visit. That struck me as very generous of them. So I had only positive interaction with the staff & leave with a good taste in my mouth for the way they run their practice.

Yep, Gaylina Reachi found it did, then added two other back teeth needing crowns. She did not show me the X-rays which every dentist had always done. Very unprofessional I felt. I went back to my old dentist who had taken X-rays recently. He did the one crown he'd noticed. I ask about the other two crowns Gaylina Reachi said I needed. No crowns needed on those teeth he said. For dentists to prescribe unneeded dental work is a practice that is wrong, fraud dentistry and harms patients oral health and essentially steals their money. It is morally wrong in every way. Office policy is that it is the patients responsibilty to know their dental coverge, not the dentist. I feel All parties must work together to reach a satisfactory outcome. I will never cross the threshold of their doorway and happily spread my experience.

Alyssa was great, I'm newer to Albuquerque so she was giving me tons of food recommendations, which I loved! The dentist came in for a few moments noted a tooth to watch and left.

Easy going, professional, and proficient. I will return in the future and use him. It was that comfortable. X-rays & check up, plus re-gluing my crown only set me back $108 as a cash client. That was about 1/2 what I anticipated the cost would be.

I've been a patient since I was 9, and after 15+ years I'm finally done…read more I've had issues with the same tooth since I was a teen, but instead of properly addressing it, over the course of 1 month, they shaved the tooth twice, refilled an old cavity twice, then suggested refilling that SAME cavity again because apparently both other fillings weren't documented in my chart. Eventually they decided I needed a crown--but said Medicaid would've only covered it until age 20... (I'm 25 now) despite this being an issue since I was 13. So I have to pay out of pocket $2500 / go through pain until I can afford it Make that make sense. The final straw was the staff. Front desk has always been rude (I just put up with it cause they're not the ones working on my teeth) but at my last visit an assistant was incredibly rude and condescending.. their temporary fix for that troubled tooth, was to put some hard putty substance on it.. I mentioned to her some discomfort with how it was placed, and she told me "it is what it is" until I can get the crown.. I next mentioned I had cold sensitivity on another tooth, the doctor recommended a desensitizer .. I was told the tooth needs to be dry, therefore they have to use some air on it.. the assistant warned it may hurt, then aggressively pinched and pulled my cheek back then blasted cold air onto an already sensitive tooth with no care.. well.. it absolutely did hurt, so bad I turned my head away.. she laughed and said "I hate seeing pretty girls in pain" She was also unnecessarily rough during treatment. Putting the desensitizer on her finger and aggressively shoving it all throughout my mouth, rubbing hard on my gums, and inner lips.. borderline making me gag by going too far into my mouth on my tongue, but my painful tooth was in the front ?.. this stuff also tasted AWFUL.. it was as if she was rubbing it on my tongue on purpose.. (desensitizer is supposed to go on teeth?...) by the end, my mouth was filled w that substance and saliva, I clearly needed to spit.. well instead she just kept talking to me, she said it's "ok to swallow" ........................ like no.. I'm not gonna swallow a shot worth of saliva and thus chemical, I need to spit.. she thought it was funny.. She also said after, that I need to reschedule the cleaning because you can't clean after a desensitizer ... (THIS APPOINTMENT WAS FOR A CLEANING!) Bad days happen for folks.. but in the medical field, feelings need to be left outside the facility.. not taken out on patients. The dentist seems nice enough, but everything feels rushed and focused on getting people in and out--not actually solving problems. I understand they take Medicaid here, but go somewhere else.
