I'm leaving this review due to ongoing communication and billing issues that are leading me to…read moreswitch dental offices. I was originally told my implant process could be handled in-house. After months of waiting for follow-up regarding the specialist portion, I was ultimately referred out. When it was time to coordinate the crown placement, there did not appear to be communication between this office and my oral surgeon's office. I was already in the dental chair and numbed, and I then spent about an hour trying to reach the oral surgeon's office so the next steps could move forward. I also knew from the beginning that this office does not accept secondary insurance, but I disagree with that policy because my primary and secondary coverage together are designed to cover the full balance. I have strong dental insurance and have not had unexpected bills with prior providers. With this office, I received a call and was told I needed to pay $500+ and that I had a deductible related to a pre-authorization submitted for work this year. That was unexpected, and I did not receive a clear explanation that resolved my concerns. There are CareCredit advertisements in the office, and while financing may help some patients, it was frustrating to see financing promoted while secondary insurance is not accepted, especially when secondary coverage is a standard way many patients pay for care without taking on debt. When I said I would be seeking another dentist, the response I received was "I don't blame you," which did not feel professional or helpful. Lastly, I had a filling done about a month ago and I've had pain since then. I'll be having it evaluated by another provider. I hope the practice improves communication, coordination with specialists, and clarity around costs and insurance.

A woman named Karen, who apparently is the regional manager, called my significant other and was incredibly rude, insulting, and condescending over the phone, even using condescending terms like "sweetheart" while trying to scare her. She claimed a basic cleaning wasn't possible because of "gum disease" and threw out scare tactics about her teeth falling out to push an expensive deep cleaning. I called the Ames Boulevard office directly to confirm this diagnosis, only to find out she has never actually been diagnosed with gum disease. It is completely unacceptable for management to fabricate medical information and use scare tactics just to upcharge patients and hit financial quotas. Because of this shady behavior and awful customer service, we will be taking our business to another dentist. Avoid this place if you don't want to be scammed.

I was given a bill for $700+ and was told (rudely) that my insurance wouldn't cover the procedure. I contacted my insurer directly and my actual bill amounted to $50. This was only one of many unpleasant interactions with the office. Their manner in dealing with patients over insurance payments, appointments, etc. is so unhelpful and the information provided is full of mistakes. In addition, my new dentist's front office staff mentioned they have had contentious exchanges over obtaining patient records. I understand someone having a bad day, but this is an ongoing problem in their office. I want to believe the managing dentist is not aware of how some of the front office staff treat patients and . If they were aware, I would think they would provide their personnel with training in customer relations. I will not be back.
