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!

I have been here for 18 yrs and like my dentist. BUT they take no insurance. I have GEHA as my dental ins but you have to file with BCBS first even though they pay next to nothing. I just had some major dental work done (due to not keeping up with my routine visits) and had to see a specialist. She is wonderful. But they just stopped taking insurance. What a nightmare. When this is done I will be looking for new dentists in network too. However, it seems to be becoming normal practice for dentist not to take insurance which means more money out of our pocket.
