First Choice Dental Care
Reviews
I went to these guys being new to the area and hearing commercials about them so I figured what the hell I'll give them a shot. As I sat there waiting for the lady to come in and clean my teeth I over heard the receptionists talking about previous patients (BY NAME) and how gross they were. which that left me with a great feeling(enter sarcasm). then after the cleaning the dentist comes in and does an exam ran the little mirror around and says" you need a cavity drilled and filled" well that's funny since the lady doing the cleaning just told me I had no cavities and everything was looking good. this place is a HIPPA violating, pocket robbing JOKE.
They will take you for everything they possibly can- they were asking me to make quick decisions while sitting there in the chair with my mouth agape. They were not up front with their charges and performed unnecessary work on my teeth (e.g. replacing intact fillings). He was getting his own crown put in moments before he met with me- this was a little questionable; I'm hoping he didn't use the gas. All in all, I had to pay $600 out of pocket (and I have GREAT dental insurance). I regret ever stepping foot in this office. The only upside was the wonderful woman that cleaned my teeth. Dr. Meals is an unctuous, underhanded excuse for a dentist.
This place is a joke. I wish I would have done more research before going to this dentist, I feel as though I have been robbed. I have spoken with other dentists about what I am paying for and they are literally speechless at how much I'm being overcharged. Dr. Doyle will not help you cope with any pain after any major extraction services. He treated me with nothing but contempt when I asked him for extra pain medication for the soreness... Like I was some bum junky off of the street who was interupting his lunch. He has charged me $12,000 for some simple extractions and a set of dentures. Only today did I find out I could have had the same thing done for half of that. I originally wanted implants in my upper jaw to support the dentures and he told me that would cost me over $25,000. I was just quoted by Robinwood Dental care that it would have cost me $about $14,000 to do what Dr. Doyle tried charging me $25,000 for. Now I have to go through the hassle of trying to get my money back and I can hardly wait to see how much they try and steal from me for "lab fees" and simple extractions. Stay far, far away from this Dentist. They are greedy and care nothing about you nor your health. They are all in it for the money.
We went to this office for the first time last week because one of us had a broken tooth which had become infected. We have no dental insurance. After being in the room for over an hour, my boyfriend was taken into the "sales" office and told that all of his work would cost.... get ready for this... $12,000! And the sales woman acted as if he was really going to go for this! When he said he couldn't afford that, she looked as if she was ready to cry because she was "just so concerned for his well being". HAHA! Needless to say, we walked out of there with NOTHING done... my boyfriend's face still swollen from his infected tooth. That is absolutely ridiculous. Not only that, but my brother-in-law went there and they charged his insurance for work that was not even performed. This practice is out for nothing but money. It's a sad day when doctors' offices employee sales people that are not doctors/dentists themselves.
I am a new patient and loved how everything was explained clearly and simply. I needed alot of work done and all of it was done in one visit instead of being dragged out over months. Very nice staff!
