I decided to first go to Smart Dental because they had advertised in a Madison LGBT magazine and I feel more comfortable going to LGBT-friendly establishments. Initially I was impressed with the service at Smart Dental and the kindness shown by Dr. Sifri. However, I started to notice how anxious they were for me to get expensive treatment; the staff up front, especially Anamika, seemed persistent in trying to get me to schedule appointments to get these costly procedures done. I later found out though that some of them were unnecessary by my current dentist. However, this surprisingly wasn't what made me find another dentist. The front staff requested that I apply for a Care Credit card in the amount of $8000 so that I could cover their fees. As a student I feel asking me to get a credit card to pay for their recommended treatment seemed absurd. Secondly, they had overcharged me on something that I had to later inquire about in order to get a refund. Some dental practices appear to be looking to make more money off of their patients and, in my honest opinion, I feel this is one of them.
