Stay away! Last summer my dental insurance changed and I was forced to find another dental office who accepted my new insurance. I (stupidly) chose this office due to the convenient location. So I scheduled my routine clean and check up. I was the only person in the whole office for the entire 2 hours I was there. Not one other patient was there (red flag #1). . The actual dentist (Ruth) did my cleaning which was a pretty good cleaning. However, she was all over the place. She kept dropping things and seemed really frazzled. I told her about some minor pain in my bottom left tooth. She insisted I take Xray's, which I totally agree with BUT.. I was 9 months pregnant. So I declined. She continually pressured me into doing the Xray's (red flag #2). It made me extremely uncomfortable. After about 5 minutes of looking in my mouth she tells me that I desperately needed a root canal. I have never had any major issues with my teeth so I was really surprised. She tells me to come back tomorrow for the root canal at any time because she had NO APPOINTMENTS scheduled that day (red flag #3). I tell her that I am not comfortable scheduling this procedure until after I have my baby. She continued to pressure me to schedule, while trying to educate me (soon to be, mom of 3) on the development of my baby and how much more she knew about pregnancy than I did. It was so awkward. She wouldn't take no for an answer and literally said that she marked me down for the next day and demanded I pay 50% of the cost which was like $1,500. Ummm, I'm about to pop out another baby... I don't have an extra $1,500 lying around. I felt so pressured that I told her I would be there the next day but later called back and cancelled (I'm a chicken, I know). A couple of months later, after I changed my insurance again, I went back to my old dentist and took multiple Xray's. NO ROOT CANAL was needed. I had a tiny crack in one of my fillings. My out of pocket pay was $20. This lady just wants your money and is willing to put you through unnecessary procedures to collect. Shame on her! read more
