She will be a Senior when school starts in August and wanted them out before school started, a tight timeline. I called and spoke with Annie who she could not have been more helpful and understanding. She scheduled the consult for 4 business days out and said she couldn't schedule the surgery until after the consult. I mentioned that I was concerned we would miss an open slot if we waited, as time was short. Annie called me back a few minutes later and said she had gotten approval to reserve a slot the following week! I so appreciate her caring nature, professionalism and her extra effort to help us out. Bonita also comes highly recommended by Dr. Kayci Harris at Northern New Mexico Dental Center in Taos. And by my son, who works for DDent Labs in Santa Fe.

Then her ignoring me for minutes after my arrival (I called again while in reception while they chatted away ignoring me.) Then not telling me the doctor had gone into procedure until I had been waiting over an hour. It was another 40 minutes before seeing the Dr. Schow who literally lied to my face did not bother to read the paperwork Annie insists I fill out so the Dr. could review it before my appointment - Dr. Schow is inept. He didn't read anything I filed out, when questioned about the diagnosis of another Dr. and when caught in that lie seemed smug and contrite. Trust this Dr to perform surgery HELL NO. They are downright mean, even sadistic, unprofessional, and a complete waste of time and money (they don't take most insurance,) I suggest if you can go elsewhere to do so.

I was a patient of this dentist twice. Unfortunately, each time disastrous outcome ensued…read more Once, I was in **tremendous** pain for weeks, after his root canal. It turned out, as a good dentist told me, that he created a false/fake root, the cause of the pain, which destroyed the tooth pretty quickly. I lost the tooth a couple of months after this guy's "treatment". Interestingly enough, when I constantly complained about this debacle he insisted on paying 1/2 of the hefty fee he's charging! What an outrage! Keep clear of that dentist!

I was referred to Dr. Kahn ( NN Endodontic Center) by my regular dentist following a botched root…read morecanal performed by another local endodontist. My first experience had been fairly frightening and I'd been hesitant about following up with the re-treatment for that tooth. Dr Kahn was very thorough and articulate in explaining what the procedure would entail. He was also able to explain what had gone wrong with the first procedure performed by the other doctor. The office staff was very efficient in the scheduling process and Carmella was exceptionally helpful in regards to my questions about insurance coverage. The actual root canal, while not pleasant, was pain free and over in an hour. I did have trouble initially in getting an appointment but I understand now that was likely a result of the answering service/undelivered message. I'm glad that I followed up and was able to get in for a consultation. I would highly recommend Dr. Kahn to those in need of a root canal or other endodontic treatment.

Don't go there! This company should be investigated for malpractice and fraudulent billing…read more They will charge you for treatments you didn't know. The first times I went there, they made me pay co-pays. Then, consulting my health plan, I confirmed that I have 2 cleanings and 1 consultation totally covered, including co-pays, every year. The next times, they tried again to make me pay co-pays. I thought they were just incompetent and didn't know how to check health plans. When they understood I would not be fooled, they came up with another strategy. When my daughter went there for her cleaning, they did a "deep cleaning" on her without consulting me. It is not covered by our insurance. They also made me pay that immediately, which was embarrassing because I didn't have more than $100 on me and had to call my husband to send me the rest. I will never understand why a 15-year-old girl who never had a cavity needed a deep cleaning. Then, some time after that, it was my time to get my cleaning, and the guy told me I had to pay a $100+ because mine had to be a deep cleaning as well (which I never needed before). I canceled the appointment and sought another dentist. This month, I received a bill from them and discovered that my previous cleaning there was the so-called "deep cleaning," which they never told me about. I never had the need for a deep cleaning before, and my new dentist never said anything about me needing a deep cleaning, so it was a rip-off from aspen dental. They also wanted to put braces on me, but no dentist before or after that told me I needed braces (my teeth are very straight). They never clean your teeth on the first visit. It has to be on a separate appointment. They will steal your money any way they can.

They told me in order to get a cleaning I had to have x-rays. The assistant who took the x-rays and other photos was perfunctory in her duties and didn't respond when I told her what she was doing was uncomfortable. Dr. Cera came in a gave me a quick exam and then I was told I had to go back out to reception to wait for a hygienist. My wait started at 35 minutes past my appointment time. I waited another 15 minutes and told them I had to leave for another appointment. So I went in for a cleaning and never got a cleaning. Worst of the worst.

I was referred to him by my dentist and will never let him touch me. His not the only periodontist in town. During my consultation he made me feel hopeless, helpless, overwhelmed and extremely anxious. I have had another consultation and was treated with respect and compassion. When I booked my consultation I was told no charge for the appointment, now I have a bill which I have asked to have amended. He's just about the money. My recommendation seek another periodontist who acts with care about the feelings and well being of their patients. UPDATE: The office apparently has nobody in charge with customer service, I have written them 2 letters about my billing. I was billed for a consultation, that when I booked my appointment and asked them if there was a consultation fee the woman who answered said there was no charge. I paid for my x-rays and received a bill for the consultation after i requested it be removed. When I called the office to speak to the person in charge of billing I was told there was nobody who handled billing ! Really ?? That bill I also paid In exasperation with this issue. I now have been sent yet another bill for $16.58 which is apparently compounded interest. This I refuse to pay. It's absolutely ridiculous. Stay away from this horrible Dr. and the inept office which is so poorly managed.
