What patients say
Vibe: corporate-chain
This practice receives deeply polarized reviews with a stark divide between loyal, satisfied long-term patients (who praise specific hygienists and dentists) and numerous recent patients reporting serious concerns. Recurring complaints include aggressive upselling of expensive procedures, refusal to provide standard covered care, significant billing disputes, long wait times, poor bedside manner, and inadequate follow-up on post-operative pain. Several reviews allege malpractice and describe the practice as difficult to work with and 'not worth it.' The few positive reviews appear concentrated among patients treated by specific, well-regarded staff members (Alethea, Fumi, Dr. Duang), suggesting quality varies dramatically by provider.
