Wife and I had to cancel cleanings because of a family emergency. When I called to cancel and…read moretried to reschedule, I was told nothing was available for 7 to 8 months. When I asked about being called if there was a cancellation, I was told they didn't do that. I told them we would look elsewhere. We found another dentist and are happy. 2 months later, on a Sunday, we got a nasty note saying we were over due for health care, when I spoke with someone in the office today, she advised me there was no record of the text. When asked again, she suggested it was part of their automated system. My spouse is a retired dental hygiene instructor and I am retired corporate management. Extremely poor management and average care.

The only reason it's 2 stars is because, if you're lucky you get a hygienist that does a really…read moregood Job. When you make an appointment, you don't choose the dentist. So, for example, I've never had the same dentist twice. Either the dentist is no longer there, isn't working that day, or whatever the excuse of the day is. Every single appointment has been with a different dentist. Front office is flat out rude; but that type of rude that's done with a smile. Huge "bless your heart" vibes. They also like to play games about insurance, saying that they accept your insurance but then, miraculously, when paying they no longer accept it. Different people get charged different amounts for the same procedures. For example 3 adults in my family all had x-rays, fluoride, and cleaning. Charges ranged from 200 - 450. All of us had the same amount of time, and the itemized receipts (other than the costs) were the same. That was the final straw for us. Even if you were happy with your work, when you leave you're left with the impression of the office being greedy, game players (with your money), and of course... bless your heart.

The dental team, Dr. Taylor and a PA, did their best to get my problem resolved, spent quite a bit of time with me setting up my status for a new, registered patient (Full X-rays and history).

I also noted that the entire staff, reception, billing, scheduling, assistant and the DMD herself were all smiling and, it seemed, happy to be working there and so welcoming to a new face. I'm sold.

The other Doc, whom I can't remember his name, was efficient and quick, payed attention to detail during an exam, and also very responsive to any questions I had.

"Would tomorrow at 10:30 be too soon," the cheerful lady on the phone asked. I arrived for my appointment to discover the person checking me in needed $331. Odd, given that my insurance plan - which this place ostensibly accepts - covers exams and cleanings at 100%. The office manager assured me it was just an oversight at the front window, and then proceeded to tell me they couldn't give me an exam or clean my teeth without first doing a full set of x-rays. I agreed to get the full x-rays (even though I had had them within the last year) and proceeded with my "evaluation." The evaluation revealed a need for "deep cleaning," that would cost about $500 and require two visits. No, I was told, you can't just get your teeth cleaned. (Remember, I've seen the dentist twice a year since Jesus was a baby and suddenly I have periodontal disease requiring scaling and planing?). Oh, and you have two cavities. Really? How could my former dentist have missed my periodontal disease, cavities and - wait for it - need for root canal? Yes, root canal. The dentist said I'd probably need a root canal and gave me a referral to a specific endodontistry practice. This was my first and last visit to this practice that wanted me to buy the 19" chrome wheels, sport package and extended warranty.

(He found a very small particle that had worked itself between my nerve and my tooth, and by utilizing air pressure and careful probing, he dislodged the particle. Dr. Matilsky is very meticulous and careful when deciding upon a diagnosis and a course of action. He is conservative and will only drill, or begin treatment that is invasive when it is necessary. I drive a very long distance in order to obtain Dr. Matilsky's services, and he is a true professional in every aspect. In addition, the office staff, led by Debbie Matilsky is very professional and very accommodating, with the long term health of your entire person taken into account.

He's very kind, efficient, and clearly knows his stuff, which made me feel really comfortable. The office itself is clean, modern, and has state-of-the-art equipment. There's also plenty of parking, which is always a plus. The only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is due to the billing. A few times my insurance got mixed up, and while I was there, I noticed other patients coming in with billing concerns as well.

I was quickly able to prove I did not owe anything, but it just proves what schysters they are. To make things worse, the two teeth he ground down and crowned only lasted a few years and ended up being pulled because of all the damage underneath! He was about to do the other side when I got the bill I didn't owe, and those teeth are still in great shape! I am in the middle of getting $10K worth of implants now to replace the two teeth he ground down and ruined! STAY AWAY!!! I would give zero stars if this was an option!!!
