    The office experience was really bad and disorganized they lose track of schedulings, questionable upsell and lack of procedure.

This has happened multiple times to my family where RRD presents a quote that shows after insurance out-of-pocket fees for proposed services. Each time I have agreed to proceed based on those quotes and paid for the quote balance before leaving their office. Next thing I know I receive invoices for fees still due after insurance payments that are very significant. I have met with their billing/treatment coordinator and was told that they do not normally contact insurance companies for establishing customer quotes, but use a general database, although they present "insurance pays" amounts in the quotes. As a note, I did sign each quote that states that I will pay balances not paid by the insurance company, but I assumed quotes would be accurate or at least in the general ballpark. In the future RRD staff has agreed to actually coordinate with my insurance company to provide an accurate quote (this is not standard policy, so you have to ask for it), but I will not be going back. I feel ripped off. FYI, my insurance company is a major insurer.

Today I did both at Tulips' Chesterfield office. I would have liked to have had the opportunity to bring my elderly mother to meet one of the periodontists, but didn't make it past the blonde receptionist that was full of attitude. Immediately upon giving my mother's name, she stated very rudely that they wouldn't be able to see her today, and that I would just have to take today's appointment time to complete her paperwork and schedule another appointment. After I made personal arrangements to travel in from out-of-town while quite sick myself to get my mother in from her nursing home for some complex dental care, and after taking time off from my 3 national businesses to get her there, and after calmly explaining to the receptionist that their website was down last night when I tried to pre-fill their patient paperwork (checked 4x last night), she proceeded to cop a disdainful attitude with, "Well, THAT's why we send you the links well in advance. YOU'LL just have to complete the paperwork now and come back ANOTHER time when WE can fit you in with an appointment." No apology for their website being down, no acknowledgement of the hassle we'd gone through to get my mom there. COULD. NOT. HAVE. CARED. LESS. Considering the procedure my mom would need to have would probably cover half or most of the receptionist's salary, I'm surprised that they have this person out front. The periodontists may be excellent - but we'll never know, because we'll be taking my mom's business elsewhere. God only knows how much business the person out front is costing them.

    I've never felt more like a Karen, but the administration at this office is so far beyond…read moredisrespectful, it's laughable. If Dr Whyte left for another practice, originally I would've followed him in a heartbeat. But the staff and office administration... There's texting options for contact which sounds great, right? Except you only get a response during business hours, which sorta defeats the purpose. If you text outside business hours, instead of getting a response back the next business day, as indicated by the auto response, you'd get left on read/ignored. I tried to get an appointment for a few weeks, and after chipping a tooth, texted constantly whenever I could until I finally got an appointment. I was told the "ONLY time available" was a specific day and time, no wiggle room, not even later in the day. No time in the coming weeks, just that day and time. So I rearranged my schedule, my two jobs, and I made it to the appointment. I got a text confirming my appointment for 15 minutes after I was told to be there, after I was already checked in. Wtf? Then time continued to tick by. An hour after I was told to be there, I was asked if I could come back the next day. Apparently an ongoing appointment was taking longer than anticipated. I'm not upset by someone else's appointment taking longer than expected, but I am upset that I was lied to about appointment availability since I was asked to come back the next day and l'd asked repeatedly for any later days, specifically the day offered, or later in the day appointment. I wouldn't have had to leave work early. I wouldn't have had to cancel work for my second job that day. Because they lied. So I won't be back to this location. I can't trust that I'll actually have an appointment. I can't trust that communication will occur or be honest if communication even does occur. If I can't trust them with an appointment, l certainly can't trust them with medical security, insurance, financial, or personal information. Beyond that, I had gone in for this "appointment" to fix a chipped tooth. That exact same tooth just chipped in the exact same place, like 3 months later, so clearly not lasting quality. This experience really makes me question the quality of previous work, no lie. I've enjoyed Dr. Whyte, but I don't know anymore. I can't even be mad, just disappointed that I trusted them so much. I even recommended this location to a coworker before all this happened. Edit to add: it's been less than two years and 3 teeth he's worked on are already messed up. A root canal indented. The tooth that chipped that he filled, fell out a few months later. Am upset tooth lost part of the siding. Less than 2 years after he worked on all of these teeth. You expect teeth to last at a MINIMUM of 5 years. One didn't even last 5 months. So now I have an adjoint with VCU Dental School to get xrays in a few weeks to fix what the accredited dentist messed up
