RIP OFF. My family as been a patient for over 10 years . I get my teeth cleaned 3 times a year,…read moreand starting in Nov 2017 had invisalign with them from their "specialist" Dr. Rykiss. They pushed him after saying he was better equipped to manage my case. "It would cost a little more ie. $7200 vs. $5k, but probably worth it.". Well, Dr. Rykiss only came to the office once a month, so if something broke or needed adjusting in between, or if you were unavailable, or sick, that day you were literally screwed and had to wait until next month's visit. Then COVID came which was not their fault but further delayed the experience. SO 3 full years later, they came off.
The treatment took double the time, cost 30% more for premium doc, and I was not happy at all with the progress or the time it was taking, but was handcuffed to Dawson because I was mid-treatment (and you cant just move to another ortho, BUYER BEWARE, and I still ended up with a substandard result, confirmed by two other orthos I consulted.) Even after I asked to end the treatment because I no longer saw any progress, Dr. Rykiss agreed and said, that we could tweak if we wanted to at a later time. Well, a year later the wire retainer bond popped off and one tooth shifted badly, and Dawson would do NOTHING about it. They literally said, Dr. Rykiss was retiring and not practicing in their office and wanted me to pay $5500 to reshift THE TOOTH. This was because the ortho was not "their file" but Rykiss'. Huh? So, After paying premium for treatment to them , unbenknownst to me they didn't consider him "their Dr., even though I was their patient who asked them for invisalign, consulted with them, all treatment was paid to "Dawson" and done at Dawson, and fully facilitated at Dawson.
This was the straw that broke the camels back so I moved dentists. BUT It is also worth noting that on my last appointment, just I had xrays done there and nothing was noted, yet when I had them transferred the images to my new dentist a few months later, they showed 2 cavities, one of which is rather deep. They clearly showed on the xray. So basically the xrays at Dawson as part of the regular cleaning, were PAID FOR but not looked at. Perfect example of the incompetence.
Also, the cross-selling of services has always pushy, .... The only reason we stayed with them was because of one hygenist Ann Marie who was awesome, but otherwise, my husband wouldn't go because it was too painful from others who turnover regularly there . No exaggeration. I cannot recommend them for anything. They are the puppy-mill of dental clinics.
