| - This dentist is a SCAM ARTIST who doesn't deserve one star. I took my adult son in there with a horrible toothache and the tooth needed to be pulled. They tell you one price on the phone and then, after they charge you for the office call the minute you walk thru the door (before ANY services have been rendered), they present you with an entirely different price for the procedure than they quoted over the phone. The receptionist (nice over the phone and completely rude and abusive in person) will tell you a price range for the procedure over the phone and confirm (after you ask her to confirm it again) that the highest price she quoted will be the TOP amount they charge for that procedure. Then when you get there and they've got your $75.00 initial fee (and they see how much pain you are in), they up the procedure price. When my son pointed out what the receptionist had told him, the dentist actually became abusive and intimidating, raised his voice and sternly told him to "STOP WORRYING ABOUT THE PRICE AND CONCENTRATE ON THE PROCEDURE"!!! He then shoves a clipboard at him and said, "SIGN IT!!! The receptionist's story is now, "I never gave you a definite price, I said it was up to the Dr.". The couple that were there ahead of us got their price raised AFTER the man's tooth was pulled. The woman was practically in tears saying, "That is NOT what you told us over the phone, we can't afford it". The receptionist got very nasty and said, "Well, if you can't afford to pay for the work, why did you even come in here". We should have seen the handwriting on the wall right then, but my son was in so much pain, he was desperate to get the tooth out. We ended up leaving. Do NOT go to this dentist, he preys on people in emergency situations, it's a total bait and switch operation in a smelly old office. He is intimidating, abusive.
