Everyone at Morris Park Dental has been very kind, and having multiple dental services available in…read moreone location is convenient. In fact, that convenience and the positive review from my other half was why I chose this practice. Unfortunately, my experience with the financial and insurance side of my treatment has been frustrating and unclear. My advice to patients with dental insurance is simple: contact your insurance company directly before agreeing to treatment. Ask what is covered, what requires prior authorization, what has been submitted, and what your estimated responsibility should be. Do not rely solely on being told that "insurance does not cover it." In my case, I was initially told that insurance would not pay for certain implant-related services. However, after contacting my insurers myself, I learned that both plans provided coverage for the extraction, bone graft, and continuing implant process, provided I proceeded with the treatment. I also repeatedly asked whether claims had been submitted and was told they had been. When I contacted one of my insurance companies, however, a representative told me that no claim had been received from the practice. It appeared that one insurance plan had been billed while the other had not. I paid the balance requested without hesitation because I trusted the practice and its expertise. My concern is not that dental care costs money; my concern is the lack of clear and consistent answers about the total charges, which insurance plans were being billed, what each plan covered, and how my balance was calculated. My calls were not always returned, and the responses I received often felt incomplete. Transparency is extremely important when patients are making costly healthcare decisions. We pay for insurance, deductibles, and other out-of-pocket expenses, so reducing our costs matters to us just as reimbursement matters to a provider. If a practice participates in an insurance network, patients should be given clear information about how those benefits are being used. Morris Park Dental may still be a convenient option for people seeking several services in one place, and the staff members I encountered were pleasant. However, patients should read every document carefully, request an itemized treatment plan and billing statement, verify all claims directly with their insurance companies, and get financial explanations in writing before paying or proceeding. As the saying goes, "All that glitters is not gold." Ask questions and independently confirm the answers.

Came here several months for a second opinion from another office. Met Dr Prakash and she was…read morelovely. She explained everything to me, took new X-rays, reviewed my old ones. She came up with a treatment plan. I was scared and upset when I first came in because I was told I needed a ton of work, she not only put my mind at ease but saved me thousands. Every time I see her she answers all my questions and always puts my mind at ease. She is so gentle. My one grip with her is she is a little OCD, but I guess you'd want that in a dentist, she wants her work to be as flawless as possible so I can't really complain even though these are some long appointments! But she will keep you entertained :)

I can't say enough good things about Dr. Shukla. From the very first visit, she made me feel…read morecomfortable and understood. What stood out most was how empathetic and caring she was on a one-on-one level, listening to my concerns and taking the time to explain every step clearly. She's also extremely responsive; whether it was a quick question or a scheduling concern. Dr. Shukla treated me with patience, kindness, and a genuine commitment to making sure I was happy with my results. I couldn't recommend Dr. Shukla more highly. She has made this whole process much easier, and I'm grateful for her guidance and care. I can genuinely tell she is a good person set on helping people through her practice.

I rarely leave negative reviews, but I feel other patients should be aware of our experience. My…read moresister paid $1,000 in cash to an employee at National Dental for a dental procedure. She was never given a receipt. Later, we learned she wasn't even eligible for that procedure because of the condition of her mouth. The employee eventually admitted through text messages that she accepted the money and even stated she would return it. She never did. We met with the office manager/treatment plan coordinator, Yesenia, in person and showed her the text messages. She was compassionate, listened to everything we had to say, and told us she would look into the matter and get back to us. Unfortunately, after that meeting, our emails and phone calls went unanswered. Despite being told we would receive an update, we never heard back. At this point, we've had no choice but to file a small claims case in an effort to recover my sister's money. What disappointed us most wasn't just what happened with the former employee; it was the lack of communication and follow-through from the office after they were made aware of the situation. I hope no one else has to go through a similar experience.

I gave this location 4 stars last time i came mostly complaining about the look of the place. I…read morecame in today and they def changed that. They painted and had better security at the door. The bathroom tiles got fixed and they fixed and painted walls. Staff here is nice esp the xray guy and hygienist that cleaned my teeth today. My issue and the reason i lowered from 4 to 3 stars is lack of communication and the time i spent here today for just X-rays, cleaning and evaluation. I arrived at 1:35pm for my 1:30pm appt to an empty waiting room. I got X-rays done and cleaning by 2:45pm. After that people started coming in and i was waiting. The hygienist told me my usual doctor wasn't there and she would put me with another if that was ok and i agreed. I got up three times from 2:45-4:05pm to ask what was the wait for? First it was that the dentist was running behind and they couldn't say how many were in front of me. Then they said the doctor must have my paper because it wasn't there and people were getting called that just came in. Then i finally told the front seat girl "listen I've been here over 2.5 hours and I'm starting to get frustrated when it was only a cleaning." She realized my paper got lost and put me with the dentist. My teeth are fine besides food getting stuck into my crowns sometimes and they put in for a replacement on a crown I'm still paying on from the fall which was denied so I'm going to deal with the food occasionally getting stuck until my next cleaning in November. I finally walked out of there at 4:25pm. Almost 3 hours later just for a cleaning and evaluation. The staff is nice but please do better. Thankfully i arranged for someone to pick my son up from school ahead of time but this wait time for a cleaning was insane

Worst dental office ever!!! Took my daughter here, came a half an hour earlier than the appointment…read morebecause she was a new patient and I knew forms needed to be completed as well as insurance verified. Their sign says to "sign in and have a seat and they'll call you if additional information is needed". At first I waited for the woman to pick up the chart as she would have saw that I checked off the box for new patient. She didn't acknowledge me standing there, didn't ask what I was waiting for, nothing!! To "respect" their sign, I sat down. The woman picked up the sign in sheet 26 minutes later, 4 minutes before my daughter's appointment time, this is when I was handed new patient forms and was told that she'd call the insurance to verify coverage. After ANOTHER 30 minutes passed, I asked the woman about how long it would be before my daughter was called as I had to go back to work. I reminded her of the appointment time my daughter had versus the time it was, she said 1 person was before her and she didn't know how long AND "there was nothing she could do". My daughter didn't get seen until a whole hour AFTER her appointment time. What's the point of having an appointment if you're not going to see patients at their scheduled times? A doctor knows approximately how long a procedure should take and thus should know how many slots and slot times they allow for a certain amount of people or type of visit. They need to work on scheduling and hospitality. I could see if we were late but we were more than on time. Most offices tell you to come in 15 minutes before the scheduled time - we were there 30 minutes prior.
