What patients say

Vibe: modern

The dental practitioners (especially Dr. Miller, Dr. Khan, Dr. Graham, and Dr. Williams) and clinical hygienists receive consistently outstanding praise for skill, gentleness, professionalism, and patient comfort. However, the practice is heavily criticized for severe administrative and billing issues including incorrect insurance coding, undisclosed additional charges, poor communication around procedures, and fraudulent billing practices. This creates a stark disconnect between excellent clinical care and a dysfunctional business operation that has resulted in multiple 1-star reviews despite praising the doctors themselves.
