I just had a teeth cleaning today which for me is pretty relaxing. (I know I am a wierdo. ) However, I always get awesome service from everyone here. It doesn't matter how many months go by before seeing them again... they always remember my name when I walk through the door. They are professional, have a clean office, with up to date treatment tools and I trust them to give me an honest treatment plan. I used to have a lot of metal in my mouth and I was prone to cavities and tooth sensitivity. Since working with them to remove the metal and with regular teeth cleanings they've helped me stay cavity free for years!

No good. I went with the recommendation for filling and crown even though I had no issues with the tooth. Insurance filed an adverse claim/denied service calling it unnecessary work. Dentist never communicated that the claim was denied, while sending me increasing bills with no explanation as to why the bills were increasing. No details on the invoice, Just the $ due. This was after I paid in full at the time of service. I had to find out from my insurance company 9 months later that the service was unwarranted, the dentist could not provide sufficient reason for the service and that the claim was denied. Poor quality work and worse customer service. No good.
