TL;DR: I was misdiagnosed with six cavities. I sought a second opinion and I only had one cavity. They may be over diagnosing and overcharging patients for procedures. UPDATE: They billed my insurance $972 FOR A CLEANING. A STANDARD CLEANING. So my initial suspicions of them over charging patients are correct. Please save yourselves and do not go to this dentist. I cannot emphasize this enough. +++ I had an, interesting experience at this dentist a few months ago to say the least. I went in for a standard cleaning, which should have taken me more than 1 hour, but I was there for 2.5 for some reason. The x-rays took forever, I feel like they were training new people which is understandable and I tried to be patient but after a while I became slightly annoyed. (I'm someone who has a bit of anxiety about the dentist, so I dont like spending too much time there.) Here's the interesting part. Like I said, I went in for a cleaning and I had suspicion that I had a cavity so I wanted to get that checked out too. After my exam, I was told that I had 6 cavities. SIX. This startled me, and honestly didn't make sense at all. They tried to schedule me for fillings - but since I did not enjoy my experience I choose not to go back there for the fillings because I knew I needed to be more comfortable and relaxed. About a month later, I went to a different dentist for a second opinion on my cavities. Like I said, I knew I probably had a cavity. But 6 just did not sound right to me. The new dentist told me that I only had 1. Obviously, I was shocked and relieved. I even asked him if he was sure and he said yes, only 1 small cavity that would be very simple to fill and that my teeth and gums overall were extremely healthy. HE LITERALLY DID NOT UNDERSTAND WHY ANYONE WOULD SAY I HAD SIX CAVITIES. So - my concern about this office is that they may be overdiagnosing patients and in turn, charging them for procedures that they dont need. If I had to pay to get 6 cavities filled (even with insurance) I would have been spending a lot of time, money, and discomfort in the dentist chair. Thankfully I was wise enough to listen to my gut and seek a second opinion. I saved money and ended up with a better dentist. So, just be careful.
