Tamara up front was very accommodating with my schedule. Shaunell was sweet and gentle when taking x-rays, making sure I was ok along the way. Dr. Folks gave me the most thorough exam I've ever had, using technology and techniques I've never seen before. He pointed out things other dentists have not. He was very detailed in his explanations and very friendly. I came back for a cleaning with Cindy. I was relaxed throughout with numbing gel, music, photos to look at on the ceiling, and useful hygiene education. I almost forgot I was getting my teeth cleaned. Overall the staff is amazing and the quality of care is unmatched compared to other chain/budget dental offices.
My last visit with Dr. Folks was very unsatisfactory. He refused to adjust a $401 bill to replace a filling on my wife's tooth. She had the filling done out of town and it simply fell out. First, his assistant took two unnecessary X-rays. Then Dr. Folks spent less than five minutes to fill the tooth, which was clean and didn't require any drilling. Besides the X-rays, he charged $85 for an evaluation fee plus $251 for the filling. I talked with him later and asked him to reduce the charge based on reasonable fees on two previous visits. He refused and said it was good value. I told him I would post negative reviews and he said that was fine. Previously, Dr. Folks did a good job to replace two crowns that had fallen out at very reasonable prices. Besides this incident, his office staff is very unorganized. They don't return phone calls for appointments and the online appointment system is a complete joke as it is impossible to schedule. In the future, I would recommend not seeing this dentist or group and always get a pre-determination of benefits and cost estimate.
