    I was initially impressed by Dr. Rao's genial chairside manner and accepted the somewhat seedy…read morelocation and thrift store decor as a sign of a "discount" pricing policy. The price was actually average but the dental work and followup were extremely problematic. The following is my email regarding the problems following my temporary crowns. I later discovered the website email address was not operational. Message to Dr. Rao, I left a message this morning (Saturday October 21) regarding my discomfort and problem with my temporary crowns. I assumed you would have an emergency number to reach you even though your office is closed. (It's very unusual for a medical/dental professional to have no after hours contact information). I had my temporary crowns done on October 11 and paid for them and the permanent crowns in advance as you requested. This has not been my usual payment experience. I returned on October 18 to have the temporary crowns smoothed as my tongue was irritated and had developed ulcers from the rough texture. Your assistant did most of the work. I started to explain to you how my bite was now off and my mouth felt out of alignment. You didn't appear to be concerned and no effort was made to rectify this situation. Observing my bite, it's apparent that the temporary crowns on the lower right side are higher, wider and unevenly matched to the bottom teeth on the left side. I have researched and discovered that temporary crowns should be adjusted so that the patient's bite is comfortable or if necessary, redone. I haven't been able to eat solid food for the past 10 days and my tongue is still irritated by the rough texture of the crowns. I'm very concerned that my permanent crowns will also be a poor fit. I need to have the temporary crowns adjusted to be the same height and similar width as the teeth on the other side of my mouth so that I am able to chew comfortably. I am unable to chew properly on the left side since I am missing a top tooth. My permanent crowns appointment isn't till November 8. I would appreciate having this dental problem corrected as soon as possible. Dr. Rao responded on Monday to the phone message I left on Saturday concerning my distress. He was apologetic and had me return again for another adjustment. He works on several patients at the same time and at one point needed to be reminded what we were working on. The permanent crowns were finally applied and the numbing needle was incredibly painful. My lips were horribly swollen for days as the extreme numbing lasted for hours and made me unaware that I was chewing on my lips, when eating. Finally the crowns were done and I was able to chew comfortably. The next problem was reimbursement from my Medicare insurance. Dr. Rao had said initially that as a courtesy he would fill out the paperwork. He sent a pre-approval but neglected to follow up with a completed and signed itemized bill. It's been almost 3 months and after hours of conversations with United Healthcare, I received a statement showing a $1000 reimbursement allowed. The paperwork included a signature required by the dentist and his filling out a form. I emailed the paperwork to his office and I spoke with his office representative Anna, who advised me not to pursue the payment because that would delay my getting reimbursement (?) She advised me to wait a few more weeks and said Dr. Rao was informed about this situation. I've had a lot of dental work done by different dentists over the years but this has been an unusually frustrating experience.

I had made 6 months prior, the office called and asked if I wanted to come in the next day (Tuesday), sooner than expected. I said yes & they sent me a text which I inadvertently, didn't read closely enough. I went to my appt. and they were closed (they are not open most of the week). Then I realized the appt. was the next day. Wed. I cancelled and was told I would have to pay a $100 missed appt. fee. I rescheduled. After contacting my insurance, they confirmed that this location did not cover 100% and the dentist could charge whatever they want after the insurance pays the base amount. I cancelled that appointment and ultimately received a bill in the mail for $100. I never signed any acknowledgment form with this new company and did not know about their fees beforehand or I never would have confirmed the appointment that I had made 6 months prior before they changed ownership. The office staff was no help at all and kept telling me they take my insurance. Well, yes, but they will charge over and above which I explained but they didn't budge on the cancellation fee. The office staff needs to do more research to give correct information to their customers (I had to do my own research). Since then, I paid and vowed never to come back to this dental office due to the way they handled this issue. Be careful for upcharges. I gave two stars because the benefit of the doubt is that I never had dental work done by this dentist.

    I had a very disappointing experience with this dental office. From start to finish, it felt like…read morethe priority was generating revenue rather than providing patient-centered care. During my visit, they performed an oral cancer screening without clearly explaining that it would be an additional charge. They also applied fluoride varnish without asking for my consent beforehand and then billed me for it. I did get additional services that were needed but before hand I brought up a billing issue from the past that I wanted to avoid. The lady from the front assured me that it wouldn't be a problem. This was not the case now one week later. They also repeatedly pushed orthodontic treatment after I had already made it clear that I wasn't interested in braces. Instead of respecting my decision, I felt like I was constantly being haggled for additional services. The billing experience was even more frustrating. Rather than trying to understand or resolve the issue, the employee insisted that the problem was simply my insurance company's policy. I explained that my husband has the exact same insurance and has never experienced this issue, yet this was the second time I had to pay the office myself because the insurance company was unable to pay them directly. Instead of looking into whether there was a problem with their billing process, she argued with me and dismissed my concerns. Without any explanation, she suddenly placed me on hold. When someone else came on the line, she identified herself as the manager. She told me they don't control insurance company policies, which completely missed the point of my concern. I wasn't asking them to control my insurance company. I was asking them to investigate why this issue keeps happening with their office. Rather than trying to understand or resolve the situation, she told me she would close my file because I was "not a good fit" for the practice. That response confirmed my impression that this office is more focused on collecting payments than on providing good customer service or resolving legitimate concerns. Patients deserve a dental office that is transparent about costs, obtains informed consent before performing optional services, respects a patient's decisions, and works collaboratively when billing issues arise. Most people are willing to move forward with recommended treatments when they understand the benefits and the cost and when it fits within their budget. What patients don't need is to feel pressured into services that weren't planned or to be treated as a problem when they ask reasonable questions. Unfortunately, that was not my experience here.
