ABSOLUTELY A FRAUD: Let me explain - I received a dentist letter-size adv./offer on my mail box that showed/offered a $547 special cost for a crown. I called the dental office with their advertisement in mind. Yes, I first mentioned that I needed to make an appointment: Supervisor took over the phone - Remember : Dentist want your money, as much as they Can!
We set up an appointment for a general consultation: Still, while on the phone with her, I asked her for the cost of a crown for an uninsured person, after a bit of time and effort, finally, she said quote "$900 dollars for uninsured client"... Then she said, quote "the original cost was $1400 dollars!!.....Afterwards I then asked her again, what is best offer cost for an insured person with Delta Dental PPO....the lady over phone said that original cost is $1200 for insured person but they can help and offer a "$850 dollars special for crowns"...
I had then, NOT mentioned that I had received this dental office offer on the mail box....this advertisement offer "$547 offer crown for Insured/Uninsured client" was no doubt mailed to every house/apartment near the zip code of the dental office.
Before my due date appointment, again I called the dental office. A girl answered the phone, and I immediate mentioned to her that I had received an offer in my mail box and it said $547 for a crown. The lady then said "Yes we have that promotion for anyone who comes"....the supervisor said the same to confirm... applies to insured and uninsured clients.
The next day, I arrived to the dental office.... general x-rays.
Then Doctor's advice. After some heath searching no doubt, he said, u need all this - number/letter.....
Let's be clear....I work for the GOV office.. I have used my dental provider for my teeth many times. The only reason I came here was for the offer. Just that. Instead, the doctor and the Supervisor say to me, here is a plan that can help you fix your teeth. A whooping $4500 charge for my teeth.
Then the Supervisor shows me an offer - insure company that can pay for the dental procedure and I can pay the insurer in low payments.
Of course, I then mentioned to the Supervisor: here is my advertisement offer I received for an Insured/Uninsured clients of $547 for a crown.
The supervisor says to me that the offer only APPLIES for Uninsured Clients: that is a bogus statement Supervisor. The offer says, the front desk staff said, she had a copy herself, that the cost was $547 for any client.
Because I continue to explain the offer, what I need/want, not the $4500 plan, she gets mad, the old Dentist with her say to me, leave the office. Yes, there were other patients listening to my statements. They were smiling - robery --- the dental supervisor/dentist got caught RED HANDED and the best option is to tell the client to leave.
Be careful and check the dental office plans before you go, twice over!!!!!
