As I was reviewing my Dental file for year end tax reasons I came across Desert Springs Dental Care's treatment estimate. Two crowns for a total of $4000. I got a second opinion and got two fillings for less than $150. I showed the other dentist the $4000 estimate and his only comment was "In my 25 years as a dentist I never knew a crown and related prep work could cost that much". I thought I would wait awhile before writing this review. I wanted to verify that I really did not need the crowns and the fillings would suffice. To be fair, the other dentist did say I would need ONE crown at a much later date. He estimated the cost at $700 including prep work and temporary and permanent crowns. The previous one star review on yelp uses the words "money hungry". You be the judge $4000 vs $150.
Dr. Poremba seemed to be an excellent dentist with a spotlessly clean office, the latest high tech equipment and very friendly helpful staff. But, by recommending only the very most expensive treatment with no alternatives I would not return or recommend him to anyone.
