I try to be an understanding person when a service/food experience is just horrible to try not to get anyone fired. Somehow when I leave I'm able to look at the positives and I walk away just not going back to that location again. I'm going to change that today as I am now fed up completely. I initially called this dentistry on the recommendation of a friend. I called for Dr. Noorani and apparently he was booked for almost two months. I have a root canal that needs to be done and so I was obviously in tons of pain. They tried to have me go with another dentist at the office. Due to my horrible experience with bad dentists I did not want to take a chance and I told them to just give me Noorani's next available appointment. I waited just to get a call the day before that my appointment is cancelled. The office KNEW i was in pain and that I waited for this dentist yet I get a call almost two months later with them trying to throw the same dentist that I initially declined. I was extremely upset as I was in tons of pain but I gave it another chance (people make mistakes right?). The front desk lady said she would book me for a consultation appointment (with a different dentist a week and a half later) to just view it so they can prescribe me medication for pain control/antibiotics and then the Monday afterwards would give me my appointment with Noorani in the morning. The first Monday comes around for my consultation and I was still out of town for work, I call to let them know and ask them if they can just do the consultation on the same day (Noorani appointment) and ill get through the pain till then. She then tells me I never booked your appointment for next Monday. When I asked why she said "I wasn't sure if you wanted it". So you booked me for the consultation on Monday but didn't book the main appointment that I have been waiting for over 2 months (close to three now) with the busiest dentist in the world?! She then tells me my first appointment wasn't a consultation and Dr. Noorani was going to start the procedure... I had never been more confused in my life. I was completely silent over the phone and then she gives the final blow by saying that Dr. Noorani has also said he will only do the root canal if I let him also do the crown!!!?? This was something we spoke about the first day I called and they specifically knew I was going to another dentist for my crown and he is a dentist that doesn't have an issue with it. BUT ALL OF A SUDDEN he wants to do my crown which is very expensive almost $1000 over my primary dentist. By far my worst experience ever from a medical professional. You would hope that people in this field care about your medical needs and at-least stay true to their word. Calling a patient 2 months later the day before an appointment to cancel and making sudden ultimatums is completely unethical and to be frank upsetting. Man, I feel a little better now. Is this why people do this? Hopefully I don't see you yelpers again. Take care

My experience with Dr. Vinh and his staff was excellent…read more They worked me in as a new patient on the same day(!) to examine a tooth that was having severe pain from a filling two months prior. Dr. Vinh examined the tooth, took x-rays as well as actual images of the filling and found that the filling was on an area where the body was rejecting it due to it being outside of the biological width of the area. He explained what was happening by showing a quick video as well as diagrams. He reccomended an extraction, after discussing and explaining other non-invasive alternatives, and offered to perform it at that moment. I decided to proceed with the extraction. They provided instructions for care and Dr. Vinh personally called me in the afternoon to check on my recovery. Aetna Insurance (PPO) covered most of the procedure, and the out of pocket expense was literally 1/10th of what I would have been subjected to at my previous dentist. I am grateful to not be in pain, and would reccomend Sequoia Smiles and Dr. Vinh as a primary dentist.

Tldr: Scam Dentist, avoid at all cost…read more I made an appointment for my bi-annual cleaning through my new dental plan. Been going to my old dentist every 6 months with no problem. The office specifically scheduled a time slot with the dental hygienist. When I arrived they did all the usual X-rays and check up. Then comes the hygienist, she explained how my gum is inflamed and needs gengival treatment. And comes out to an additional $335. I said I don't need the treatment and need to think about it. So they said ok think about it and call us back. So I asked if I can get my regular cleaning done, and they said no. Seems very strange how if I refuse this service they offered they won't do my regular cleaning. I even asked further does my insurance cover this gengival cleaning and they said yes, but they don't cover the paste to put on it daily afterward so I asked ok then Can I get the gengival cleaning and not use the paste. They said No. I asked ok then Can I get my regular cleaning, they said it's my first visit, a cleaning is not gauranteed to be on the same day. Well what? I made the appointment for a cleaning and the office specifically schedule the time slot with you, a dental hygenist. So that's when I got up and left. Looking back at the list they even sneaked in oral cancer screening?? Rinse mont for $30?? Very sneaky. I looked up more of the periostom item and saw they have a partnership with sage dental. So that's why they are pushing all these unnecessary treatment on us. Just avoid it if you can. Looks like I will make the longer drive just to go back to my old dentist that doesn't try and scam me.

I received a coupon in the mail from the Center for Cosmetic and Sedation Dentistry. It offered an…read moreexam with X-rays for new patients for only $49, a "$431 savings!". During the exam it was determined that I needed some work which was performed during the appointment. Upon completion, I was presented a bill that included a large co-pay ($192) and a large bill ($482) for the work done, but no deduction for the $49 coupon. My insurer claimed that I shouldn't have had to pay the co-pay and I should request an refund. The insurer said they would also be sending me a check to refund any money I paid in excess. For some reason, the insurer's accounting group mailed the check to the dentist instead of me. I contacted this dentist for a refund of my co-pay and also the money mistakenly sent to them by my insurer. I received a check for $74 and was told that was all I was going to receive. They didn't refund my co-pay. They didn't refund the $500 mistakenly sent them by the insurer. It's still unresolved. So, beware the $49 coupon... It's cost me a lot more than it saved me...

I actually enjoy going to the dentist and have consistently gone every 6 months for years, so I know exactly what to expect from a routine visit. While the administrative staff was nice and attentive, my clinical experience with Dr. Patel felt more like a high-pressure "timeshare sales pitch" than a medical consultation. The first red flag happened when Dr. Patel recommended a specific cleaning that included a rinse/spray. When I told him I just wanted the basic cleaning covered by my insurance, he dismissed my preference. He stated he didn't know anything about my insurance coverage and refused to perform the basic cleaning. I later learned that his recommended cleaning came with an out-of-pocket expense of at least $100. The second red flag came when he displayed my X-rays on the big screen. He went over every tooth and recommended replacing old silver fillings with cosmetic white ones, along with several other costly procedures. When I questioned his recommendations, he became condescending and repeatedly asked if he had explained it well and if I even understood him.At that point, it became clear that I was dealing with a money-hungry dentist rather than a trustworthy provider whose primary focus is patient care. I will not be returning.

I had gone to my normal dentist the day before and the treatment plan given was very very aggressive and very very expensive. Went to Dr. Lee, and got on a new treatment plan I feel comfortable with, his staff is amazing and kind. The hygienists are lovely and make you feel so comfortable. Their technology is high tech in comparison to my previous dentist in Alpharetta. With Dr. Lee, I was able to get scheduled for an extraction for next Monday, but they saved me a time slot today in case I needed it (I did) The actual procedure (that I was completely dreading), was crazy easy and painless! I didn't even know he had pulled and cleaned the infection! I was out in 30 minutes! It's primarily a Korean practice but everyone speaks English. Even if you aren't Korean, if you're looking for an honest, quality, dentist- I can't recommend this practice enough. I've had my fair share of dentists and was shocked at the difference in quality of care, admin, staff, and prices. So much so that I immediately got on yelp to review them (procedure was done an hour ago).

It's not because service was mediocre or anything of that sort. It was just average, and I was lazy to actually write something since I believe the first review lays down the basis for people who may decide to visit a business or not. -- Or I'm just overthinking this. Some really don't care about actual Yelp reviews. Ha! I think my hygienist actually changed to Claire. I don't remember and can't tell because of the whole mask, and now face shield and hair cover (I think). Her face was well covered is all I can say. Well, she was slightly talkative so that interaction was different from what I can remember. She provided good alternative tips and even threw in some eastern medicine knowledge she knew to help me with my oral hygiene. She said she had studied this (eastern medicine) for three years. [Not sure how the details like if it was self-taught, learned thru family members, etc., but it was helpful.] And Dr. Lee really interacted with me -- more laughs than usual. Most times he takes a quick look, asks a few questions, and scurries off. He is the only dentist so he must be busy. I remember calling on their closed day (not knowing this fact until afterwards), and I think he answered the phone (or the other Asian guy -- lol) and made an appointment change for me. All in all. I thoroughly enjoyed my interaction with Claire and Dr. Lee on this particular day. This is a Korean practice, but everyone speaks English. I enjoy the courteousness with an Asian place and less of the chit chat banter of small talk. I truly think I have found my lifelong dentist. Fingers crossed bc I have been scorned by a dentist in the past. Side note: Like how do I have like three or four cavities when I continually go and get my cleanings, and the actual dentist said I am all good. Then BAM. Cavities appear and many filings and a crown later that just kills my benefits and burns a small out of pocket hole. You can bet that dentist was reported to the board and was forced to move her practice. Just saying. A good dentist is important.
