Your trust is our top concern.
We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.
We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.
Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.
All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.
This guy calls himself a dentist; I wouldn't take my dog to him! The first and last I will never go back to him again! I walked in. Introduced himself then said, "You have to pay up front $345.00". I gave him my credit card; processed and signed. Then to the treatment room where he numbs my gums. Then he examines my mouth saying very little. Then his wife, dental assistant, secretary comes in to assist with the suction tube. A regular chatter box. She's in my ear talking about implants. I've never been in so much pain. The next visit two weeks later I go in for the next half of my mouth to be cleaned and he wants to extract teeth. We didn't talk about this! He walks out of the treatment room. Of the $11,860.00 I got $9,716.00 back with no break down of the costs. I had to write a letter asking for a break down. $816.00 per quadrant $1,632.00 unheard of $250.00 for ex-rays; $450.00 consultation. What how to brush my teeth! Very poor dentist. Now I'm fighting with my regular dentist!
