1 /5 Effie Katrakazos: Unfortunately, this was the most unpleasant painful experience I’ve ever had in my life.
I went in with a sore tooth pain level around 5 and decided to get a good clean and checkup.
The dentist was rough as guts and spoke the entire time with the nurse about their weekend plans and other stuff. I kept raising my hand for a little respite. After the clean, she identified that my tooth was indeed infected & recommended I come back the following week for a filling (not a root canal). She said the receptionist will provide me a quote.
After the receptionist had trouble processing my claim with my insurer and overcharging me $65 and then receiving the eye-watering quote of $1003 for one filling, I noticed my infected tooth pain level shot up to 9. I felt weak and cold and felt faint. I told the receptionist I wasnt feeling well and the receptionist went back into the room to tell the dentist. The doctor or nurse did not come out to check on me at all, instead the receptionist gave me a copy of a script for antibiotics. No care. I left the clinic feeling dazed with no information.
I cancelled the follow-up appointment the next day and informed them that they overcharged me $65. I was told to come back the following week bc the receptionist was on leave to get the refund. When I went back the following week, the staff member was apologetic for the poor experience and said it was most likely “a misunderstanding.” She fumbled in her bag to locate $65 to refund me. I could not in good conscience recommend this dental clinic.
