What patients say

Vibe: professional

The practice receives strong clinical praise for Dr. Stiharu's skill, gentle extraction techniques, clear communication, and anxiety management, with many 5-star reviews. However, this is significantly undermined by persistent billing department failures including surprise charges, unclear policies, rude interactions, and a 30% upfront payment requirement that conflicts with insurance coverage. Multiple patients have abandoned or are considering leaving the practice due to billing issues despite clinical satisfaction.
