Avoid this office at all costs -- the most fraudulent medical practice I've ever encountered…read more When we first called, the receptionist clearly said they are a participating provider for our insurance. Later, we found out that only the office is enrolled -- not the doctors. That's completely misleading and feels like a deliberate trick. They also refused to schedule a dental appointment unless I prepaid -- asking me to physically bring a $168 check to their office. When I called to confirm, they used my own birthdate to verify their records -- meaning anyone could call, say my name, and receive my personal information. So much for patient privacy. During a routine cleaning, they took four X-rays (covered by insurance) but now want $40 just to release those images to me. I also suspect long-term fraud. Even though it was my first time there, their records falsely showed I'd been a patient since 2012. I initially chose this office based on all the glowing 5-star reviews, most of them are vague and sound copied. Why in the hell people will come here to leave perfect copy-pasted reviews? How this place is still in business is beyond me. Something is very wrong here. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [UPDATE after owner's reply]: Rather than addressing the serious concerns I raised -- like insurance misrepresentation, privacy risks, and unusual billing practices -- your response attempts to shift the conversation to my alleged behavior. That is a deflection, not accountability. When I arrived at your office, I said: "Hello, I have an appointment at 2:15." Your staff said no appointment was found. I asked, "Do I have to go home?" and upon hearing "Yes," I replied "Thank you" and quietly left. There was no confrontation or accusation of fraud in person. Over the phone, we asked to schedule an appointment without prepayment -- a standard expectation for most dental practices. Your staff instead insisted I bring a check or cash in advance, in person. In response, I suggested two options: that someone from your office could collect the check, or that I could drop it off after work -- around 9 p.m. That was clearly about delivering payment, not demanding a 9 p.m. appointment. Your team then abruptly ended the call. At no point did I berate, coerce, or threaten your staff. These claims are inaccurate and appear to be an attempt to discredit a legitimate complaint. Instead of taking responsibility or clarifying your policies, you've chosen to attack me personally. That raises even more concerns about how your office operates and treats patients who ask reasonable questions.

My dental insurance doesn't cover this doctor but I felt so confident in Dr. Seok that I didn't mind paying out of pocket. While other dentists wanted to do an exam one day then perform the extraction another day, Dr. Seok did everything in one day! He's extremely trust worthy and very sympathetic to his patients' needs. I was in excruciating pain and he made sure I was comfortable during the procedure and once I got home. I'm following his aftercare instructions very thoroughly, to ensure I heal more efficiently and fast. So far, so good! I'm very grateful and me and my girls see him, for dental care. My last official dentist, before Dr. Seok, turned out to be a scammer and is no longer in practice. I've been scared to go to the dentist, in recent years. Made sure I did my research before finding a new dentist. Dr. Seok deserves all the praise he gets. The office is clean, he's experienced and I feel welcomed. It's a 35-40 minute drive but worth it!

After being a patient at Peartree Dental since moving to Maryland during Covid, I am incredibly…read moredisappointed in my experience... Initially, I lived & worked nearby, and I started Invisalign a couple years later in 2022. I paid thousands in full upfront. This past year, I moved to be closer to my new job in College Park resulting in a longer commute. I've always received great feedback regarding how my teeth are shifting, but I got trays mixed up towards the end of the summer while traveling, which delayed my schedule. I apologized for this. My work schedule + my job now being an hour away contributed to having to reschedule some appointments (in advance). Due to this, I've observed an attitude from their receptionist. There was an instance where I had an urgent work meeting, and I called in advance to reschedule & the receptionist just passive-aggressively chuckled... I'm not sure if this is the same woman who greets me when I arrive, but the receptionist who does is not friendly. I've had to say something to be greeted, and the interaction is dismissive. For my last visit, I sensed agitation during my appointment, which was disheartening since I've been a patient for so long. This is likely because the practice may want to wrap up my treatment since I've already paid in full & I'm so close to being done. Keep in mind, my deadline to complete Invisalign is 2027, but of course, I'd like to wrap up my treatment before that point. The practice may have gotten impatient due to my work schedule/commute, so I decided to then find another practice near me to transfer my treatment there. After seeing two Invisalign doctors for consultations, I was quoted additional thousands to transfer treatment. I reached out to Peartree to figure out the transfer process. I expressed to the practice via email my concerns & why I was exploring another provider. I expressed that I would ideally like to finish the treatment there, but that I also don't want to sense agitation when scheduling & arriving for visits. I was flat out IGNORED. I followed up with a question regarding how many trays I have left, which I was responded to quickly without acknowledgment of the concerns I expressed in my previous email to him. I responded stating that I will absolutely be changing doctors at this point because of my concerns being dismissed & for the transfer documentation to please be forwarded via email. I received a fast response with the form (again not acknowledging my email with concerns). The fact that I am switching Invisalign providers & will be paying additional thousands out of pocket with a new doctor rather than finishing up at Peartree due to poor customer service (when I'm so close to being done) is unfortunate... But this shows how disappointed I am in my experience at this practice as a long-term patient. It's apparent that the practice handles concerns by simply ignoring them, so they go away... especially, when the patient has already paid. Very unfortunate... I do not recommend.

There was a lack of communication, billing issues and multiple visits to correct issues with my night guard and crown/implant. The old practice (Dr. Cook) would have did it correct the first time.

It was clear that profit was their sole motivation. When asked the first question, "What is your occupation?" I felt confused and uncomfortable. Afterwards, they strongly suggested out-of-pocket procedures which I later discovered were unnecessary and just meant as a money grab. Once I received my bill which the secretary agreed made absolutely no sense we called Dr. Armine Grigoryan who confirmed the bill was correct but refused to explain the fees. I was told they don't give itemized receipts and if I didn't pay the outrageous bill IN FULL they couldn't schedule my next appointment. This practice is not only highly unethical but also goes against the policies provided by my insurance company. Unfortunately, due to the extreme pain I was experiencing and desperate circumstances I felt obligated to just pay the bill. It's evident they prey on unsuspecting patients for financial gain. To make matters worse, I returned to Preferred Dental after the advice of a reputable dentist to request my money back. During this visit, Dr. Manveen Sahni proceeded to tell me as I was leaving that I have gum disease and it requires immediate attention. This was a shock to me because this was the first time this issue was brought to my attention. When I asked why wasn't I told this during my initial appointment she stated she didn't have time to tell me and that they were focusing on addressing my main problem. Turns out this is just another scare tactic they practice. (I don't have gum disease) I attempted several phone calls to contact Dr. Armine Grigoryan to address my concerns, only to be put on endless holds with no answer. It's disheartening to think that a place that should prioritize the well-being of its patients would stoop so low to deceive and exploit them. I strongly advise anyone seeking dental care to steer clear of Preferred Dental. Their unethical practices and blatant scamming make them a prime example of what a dental office should not be. Spare yourself the anguish and find a trustworthy dental office that values your health and trust above all else.
