This dentist office is not worth your time or money…read more I also feel that my overall health care was drastically diminished by the care that I received in this dental office. I left my last dentist because she does not accept Medicare Advantage. I do have gum disease, however, my pockets have been holding steady at 5's for the last 20 years. Is it a coincidence that within one year of seeing this hygienist, my pockets have all of the sudden increased to 7's? I guess I'll never know the answer to that. My last appointment with them was for a cleaning in October of 2024. During this appointment Yer Lee (the hygienist), pierced my lower lip with her dental tools. It took approximately 1 1/2 weeks for the swelling to go down. Her reaction to the piercing was: "It's ok". My reaction: "No it's NOT OK". She also smeared fluoride all over my teeth (even though in my last appointment, I specifically stated that I don't want that treatment. After researching it, I found that the ADA states " Fluoride must be ingested, topical fluoride is ineffective". Plus, I have a bridge for my upper 6 teeth (i.e. they are fake teeth). Yer Lee is obviously not smart enough to realize that fluoride, even if the ADA had thought that it was effective, can NOT be absorbed by fake teeth. When I called to cancel my next appointment and ask that my dental records be sent to my new dentist, the office staff wasn't even curious as to WHY I was leaving their facility for another. Her attitude was almost as if they get lots of these requests.

I left that place with polish sands all over my mouth. lastly I waited for 1:45 minutes to get the care the I didn't deserve. usually 6 months cleaning is 45- 1 hr this is the worst Dentis practice.

Everything went well but unfortunately it came to a halt at the end. Of course, I expected to pay for the services provided as I took out my card for payment. However, I was told by not only Dr. Meyer but the new front desk staffs that it was all covered due to a "point system" that they had. Apparently, they said I had enough "points" to cover the normal cleaning service I had done that day. Confused, I asked and repeated back that the service is all covered via their "point system". Rushingly, they all basically replied yes with a really odd blank stare and persisted me to leave as everything was taken care of. I thought it was weird but I trusted them. It's been half a year later and I get a call from them telling me I have a balance due from that very day. I always thought about it and felt like that odd interaction would chase me down the road. Today, I called a recent hire explain my balance in a straightforward, polite manner. What she had explain all made sense, as I was kept up to date with my insurance coverages. She confirmed that there was no such thing as point systems and she apologized for them! I have so much pity for the sweet lady. I hope whatever bad staff(s) that are present doesn't influence these new employees. Humans who take advantage of other's naivety are the worse. Sad to say, but I will not continue dental care from here anymore. Had it been simpler and I was able to pay for the services without getting bamboozled, I would've still continued. Might I also add that Mr. Meyer will shove more dental services down your throat when he can.

I am disgusted with this practice. They are scamming the government into using up your dental work…read morefor the first year. They call up patients ever 2 months for a cleaning and charge the government for the bill. They used up all my dental coverage for the first year with no consideration if I legitimately need dental work and when I did need dental work and was in pain I had no coverage let because they used it all based on greed and no consideration for the customer. I would not have been a customer of them had I know this in advance.

THIS PLACE IS A SCAM!!! I had a new patient appointment back in March of this year. The facility…read morewas not clean or well kept. I was rushed through my x-rays as if I was not paying for the service. After my x-rays and exam, the dental hygienist rushed through my gum measurements making sure to be forceful enough to make my gums bleed. In the end, I was not allowed to get a cleaning. Instead I was told that I needed invisalign (I am blessed with some of the straightest teeth possible), a replacement for a tooth far back in my mouth and root planing and scaling. I told them I only wanted root planing and scaling and they told me it would be $3,000+ for the service and maintenance. They then tried to pressure me to schedule the service. When asked why I couldn't just get a cleaning, they stated "it would be unethical" to clean my teeth without completing the root planing and scaling prior. I asked for a print out of the services they said I needed and promptly left. I had insurance so I was wondering why it only covered $50. Three months later, I started a new job and therefore started a new dental policy. This time I went to Park Dental in Coon Rapids and received a much better service overall. Not only was the facility immaculately clean, but after thorough, unrushed x-ray and exams, they cleaned my teeth without hesitation. No other service was recommended but regular cleanings. ASPEN IS A SCAM! I should have ran when I heard other customers complaining about their bill in the lobby before my appointment. BUYER BEWARE, and get a second opinion on anything they recommend.
