hi, i just want to clear up some things about Dr. Fisher and Sumter Landing Dental. for one, i had my cleaning done by Lucie, and it was just as good if not better than any i've had. Sumter Landing is very busy and you should have patience in dealing with them. and also something should be said about the fact that they ARE this busy, they must doing something right... billybye was correct in saying that the reason they were taken off the list is NOT because of malpractice, cheating, or milking, its because they have so many new patients and are quite backed up. I was assured by the staff that they will resume taking new patients from PCP at some point, but they are trying to get caught up to their current patient load and will not be taking new PCP patients until further notice.
"Don't get me started about Dr. Fisher and his Lake Sumter Landing office.
I have great insurance and when I had my initial appt. with Dr. Fisher in 2/2012, was told I needed four crowns replaced which would cost ME (out of pocket) $3,120.00. I was told one crown was chipped, two were old and needed replacing, and one had a cavity underneath. I called my former dentist in Tampa to check my history. One was over 7 years old, two were put on in 6/2008 and one put on in 1/2011. I returned to my dentist in Tampa and all that was wrong was a small cavity which was taken care of for $23.00 my cost.
Let me also say, I have always visited my dentist religiously every 6 months and my periodontist also every six months on a rotation. If my dentist wasn't doing a good job, I'm sure my periodontists would have picked up on it."
i'm confused by this, if you see the periodontist and dentist so often why did have you had to get 4 crowns in just as many years? doesnt make a lot of sense. but it seems to me just by reading this that there is a possibility that 1) Sumter Landing doesnt accept your insurance or your insurance wasnt included in your estimate for whatever reason. 2) could your dentist in Tampa be covering his own butt for not doing a quality job on your crowns in the first place?
... just a thought...
