General Dentists - Hackensack, NJ

"I was scheduled to have a tooth pulled by Dr Brisman. When I sit in the chair he started putting novocaine on the opposite side of my mouth of the tooth to be pulled. I thought it was strange but I did not say anything. Dr Brisman comes back in and starts PULLING THE WRONG TOOTH!! I freaked out and he stopped before he pulled it out! AVOID DR. Aaron Brisman DDS!!"

"Arrived to this office 10 minutes before my appt. I was told doctor was not In yet. I filled out some forms and the staff took copies of my id and insurance card.Still no dentist. 20 minutes into my appt. time. still no dentist. I was asked to write down my credit card number on a form. When I asked why? The staff said in case we need to charge you for some work not covered by your insurance. I refused to write my credit card information on some piece of paper. Ridiculous! Then I was told that I had to give $250. up front in case there is something not covered by my insurance. I have never heard of such a thing. I asked what if I refuse to give the $250? She said then I would not be able to be seen. So I grabbed my paperwork and walked out of the office. BTW 30 minutes into my appt. time still no dentist Ridiculous. I have never been more upset at the time that I wasted trying to see a dentist. I have never been told by any dentist or doctor that I need to pay any thing upfront. Not sure who makes up these rules but that is ridiculous. If my two children & I where to be seen by this dentist, which was the plan, it would cost me $750. up front fee. What a joke. Not sure if theses rules are even legal. "
