I relocated here one year ago and visited my dentist regularly. I do not have any dental issues. I wanted a cleaning. When I told them that I will call them at a later time, they suddenly became borderline nasty.
I did find a dentist who I referred to my relative because of rave reviews from this forum and my relative loved him. He takes no insurance at all.
I am looking for a reputable, caring, “honest” dentist who is in network with blue cross blue shield, federal employee program. I’ve been paying for coverage for two years and cannot find someone reputable for a cleaning, etc. i will drive out of the area for quality service. Please HELP!

Takes no insurance is your best option. Service Benefit Plan BCBS dental is a bad joke. Not worth the dentist’s time to file the claim, but the claim has to be filed and denied to get any FEDVIP carrier to pay.
Avoid Aspen Dental. They are in network but so incompetent with filing they still have not been paid by Concordia for December ‘22 service. It took them seven months to get the denial from BCBS FEP.
