My first experience with them for a cleaning was fine. Dentist told me that I had a minor cavity that needed to be taken care of. When I went to make an appointment for the filling, I was advised that it would be $310 and that I needed to give a deposit of $80 in order to make an appointment. RED FLAG!!! But I didn't listen to myself. Gave them the $80 and made the appointment for 2 weeks later. Showed up at 9:50 for 10:00 appt. At 10:50 was still waiting. They told me that they were a little behind. Finally got in to the chair at 11:15. At 12:00 dentist came in and gave me a shot of novacaine. He finally came back at 1:00, spent 7 minutes drilling and filling. Took off his mask and gloves and walked out. Said NOTHING. Dental assistant told me to wait while she completed my file, then told me that I could leave. I had to ask when I could either eat or drink. Not a good experience. I will not be returning there as there was only one dentist working with an office full of patients. He kept hopping from room to room. When I finally got home, I googled the dentist and found out that he had some sort of disciplinary action in May, but no specifics were given in the Board of Dentistry minutes...just that a settlement had been reached.
As I said, the cleaning was fine, but then it was done by a hygienist and not a dentist!
