Yowser...this sure was not the experience I encountered. Went in for just a simple cleaning and came out traumatized. Their little dental assistant wanted to perform a periodental procedure prior to the dentist even seeing my teeth....when I hesitated and questioned the costs, she treated me like a child...told me she didn't have time...told me the procedure would be covered by my insurance (which is excellent and covers 100%) but when I was leaving, they tried a $50 co-pay which my insurance doesn't require...AND informed me that I would owe out of my own pocket $300 for the second treatment...the treatment they originally told me would be covered by the insurance company. PEOPLE BEWARE...the dentists in this area are somewhat unethical in their billing practices. Read up on your insurance policies and question the receptionist before handing over your check!
