| - Dr. Bischoff is wonderful ONLY IF:
A) You are rich and/or have the Cadillac of insurance plans.
B) Have no health issues
Otherwise, don't waste you're time and money (even with the voucher).
I purchased the voucher ($99 of service for $50). I sent my husband there for a cleaning and he needed 2 small gumline fillings. We were visiting AZ from MA for 6 months only. Dr. Bischoff scared the Heck out of him by insisting on testing him for mouth cancer due to his oral exam of his mouth (test = negative thank God) . Then, he tells him he has gingivitis which will require deep oral scalings (four) at a cost of over a thousand dollars. When my husband explained that we were only here while I was at the Cancer Institute for treatment and that he only wanted a basic cleaning and to get the two small cavities filled (they were hurting him when he ate) and that we couldn't afford the suggested treatment, Dr. Bischoff flatly refused to do anything until the deep scaling - which would take 3-4 months to perform - was completed.
Sooo...I guess Dr. Bischoff only cares about you if you are rich enough to afford whatever treatment he deigns to do regardless of what you really need and can afford done. My poor husband was sent away, still in pain and now feeling horrible because we don't have the money or time to have this large procedure done...all because he is my primary and only care giver and terrible me had to get Cancer and spend most of our money coming to the Cancer Institute of America in order to try and save my life. Sounds a bit chilly for such a "caring individual".....although they did send a "happy birthday" email to him on his birthday (yeah, not much to celebrate with aching teeth and a dying wife). Nice marketing strategy...
Oh, and by the way, we have an excellent dentist back home in Boston, MA whom we regularly see and have been with for over 20 years...He has all the best /latest and greatest equipment too! Upon arriving home, my husband went to him and he doesn't have gingivitis and was right to refuse the deep scaling as due to his health conditions, which include a heart murmur and high blood pressure, the regular dentist has never done a deep scaling. All knowledgeable dentists should require a medical clearance from a PCP prior to performing deep scalings as people with these conditions can have strokes or heart attacks from the debris dislodged during the procedure which travels into the blood stream. My husband's PCP will not give the clearance.
Typical example of all gloss and glamor but no substance. Real nice digs and alot of expensive toys for the doc to play with but so much for sincere compassionate care!
