Nobody could tell me what my insurance would cover before the procedure. Got a surprise bill two months later for $800 that 'wasn't covered.'
My bill was $200 more than what they quoted. When I asked about it, they said 'oh those are standard fees.' Then why weren't they in the quote?
The dentist recommended $4,000 worth of work that another dentist said I absolutely did not need. Aggressive upselling at its finest.
Doctor spent maybe 5 minutes with me and was already walking to the next room. Didn't answer my questions. Felt like a number, not a patient.
Called five times over two days and nobody picked up. Left voicemails that were never returned. Finally had to just show up in person.

Post-procedure complications seem to be the norm here. Two fillings and a crown, all had issues within months. That's not bad luck, that's bad work.
Waited an hour and a half for a cleaning. When I finally got in, the hygienist rushed through it in 15 minutes. What was the point of waiting?
