DO NOT PAY IN ADVANCE I paid Dr. Seckinger 22k February 6, 2012 towards dental work he planned to perform over at least an eight month period of time. Dr. Seckinger insisted upon being paid the 22k at the beginning of the treatment plan, though in the beginning he performed less than 4k worth of work and would not be performing any additional work for at least 4 months. When he scheduled my implants to take place 2 months earlier than he had previously told me they could be done (at the time of the implant surgery I would have had to pay more money), I decided to go to a different dentist. I wrote to Dr. Seckinger May 4, 2012 requesting a refund of the money I paid him in advance. Dr. Seckinger had spent my money. He agreed he owed me over 18k, but he didn’t have the money in his business. He had to get it from his 401k. I received all Dr. Seckinger claimed he owed me July, 28, 2012. If he had not paid me back it would have been difficult, perhaps impossible, to collect. Dr. Seckinger is spending money he hasn’t earned. He naturally didn’t send me any interest and actually deducted for his initial exam and a panoramic x-ray that didn’t appear on my prior billing statements. He wasn’t apologetic. When I became irate, he was actually condescending. Don’t trust this man. By the way, I’m going to save a substantial amount of money having the same work performed somewhere else.
