If you are thinking about going to Dr. Manning for your dental care, think again. His staff is…read morerude, his prices are outrageously high and when I was still having trouble with a root canal that he did, he didn't believe me when I addressed it to him because he couldn't find anything wrong on x-ray. I kept calling the office to have him look at it after addressing it to him, and every single time I called his office, I would get nothing but rude remarks. Now, I have a huge lump on the gum above the tooth he did the root canal on. I'm having to find a dentist to fix the problem. It shouldn't have gone this far. Oh and not to mention that when I had a crown fall off, he charged me over $100 to just glue it back on, which is a bit ridiculous. I don't want anyone going through a experience like this..it's horrible.

I had to take my fifteen-year-old daughter in for oral surgery a couple of weeks ago she had to…read morehave two molars removed. She is autistic, she's rather sensitive to pain and we have a family history of locals not working well for us, so everyone agreed that she needed to be put under general anesthesia for the procedure. her regular dentist doesn't do that, and the oral surgeon they work for doesn't do that either. so I called my insurance company and they referred me to dr. Pollard in Sulphur they're the only oral surgeons on our policy they told me that they wouldn't do it either. After some digging I finally found a local oral surgeon who would ...dr. Boudreaux here in Lake Charles. they did the procedure everything was fine no problems.. the only bad thing is I had to pay for the entire procedure cash because my insurance company wouldn't pay them. then today I was speaking to someone on another group and discovered that dr. Pollard does general anesthesia all the time! so I called his office and guess what ? they straight-up admitted to me with no problem whatsoever that they just don't like working with special needs children ! the only reason they refused to do service on her is because she's autistic. Please let anybody that you know who might have a special needs child be aware of this before they take their child in ...and I would highly suggest you consider an another provider entirely , someone who does not discriminate against children based off of something that they can't control. I will be contacting Blue Cross Blue Shield to let them know so they can be removed from their provider list and they can find another more suitable dentist in the area.

Dr Pollard and his surgical nurse have no patience with young adults (17-18 yrs old) who are…read moreextremely nervous about oral surgery. They are rude and unprofessional. I only wish I could choose zero star rating. They are really horrible!

Went for a "checkup" which has always included a regular dental cleaning paid for by my insurance…read moreanywhere else. I Was informed well into the visit that I would only be getting a consult which resulted in them telling me I needed a special cleaning for gums paid up front which I could not afford. I wanted to schedule the regular cleaning that my insurance covers and I was told no. I wasted two hours and nothing was done but X rays and "consult". Everyone was nice and I really liked the dentist that I saw, but refusing to schedule a normal cleaning made the whole thing a waste of time for me.
