| - I had a horrible experience here back in December 2014. I should have written the review right away because now I can't remember the Dentist's name that scammed me.
I agree with some of the other reviews here - all they care about is money! I have two capped front teeth (crowns) that I have had for years. One chipped on a Saturday morning so I went to this Emergency Dentist instead of my actual Dentist. I thought about waiting until Monday but I had plans and a job interview over the weekend and didn't really want to look like a hick with a half a tooth.
The Dentist "repaired" the tooth and although he was VERY unfriendly to me, I was grateful at the time that it was fixed. I went to pay and was annoyed that it was almost $300! I asked him if it was temporary or if I needed to go to my actual Dentist to look at it or fix it. He said, no it will be fine, it is permanent. I wish this Dentist didn't lie to me because less than 24 hours later it fell off!! I wasn't even eating or doing anything, it just came off in my mouth! I called the Emergency Dentist (as it was Sunday and my Dentist was still not available) and they told me to come back to have it fixed again, at no charge.
I don't live close by so it was a hassle for me to come back here again and it ended up being a waste of time. I waited a long time even though I had been in and waited for ages the day before. Once I was called in I found out the Dentist from Saturday who did the repair was not in. A different Dentist looked at it and told me he could not repair it, I would need the full cap/crown replaced by my Dentist. I asked... "why did I spend $200 yesterday for a tooth that would less only a few hours?!" I was told that the previous Dentist should not have repaired it, or at least should have warned me that it was a temporary fix and I would need to see my Dentist for a permanent fix. But all he wanted was my money!!! He knew it wouldn't last! WHAT A SCAM ARTIST! I wish the other Dentist (tall man) was working the first time, so I could have dealt with an honest person. Even though he wouldn't fix it for me, at least he didn't lie to me and take my money.
I asked the reception for my money back from the first repair because I was lied to and it was ridiculous to pay over $200 for a repair that would only last a few hours. They told me I had to speak with the Dentist who did the repair. They gave me his office hours but it was near Christmas so I wasn't able to go in any time soon as I was going out of town. I was hoping to see if my insurance would cover it. Besides, the Dentist was extremely rude and I felt he wouldn't have been accommodating anyway.
I went to my actual Dentist (Dr. Peter Copp who is absolutely amazing) and he REPAIRED the cap/crown for LESS money than this Emergency Dentist. The repair has lasted ever since (around 6 months now!!) and while it won't last forever, it will last until I can afford to get a new crown (which are very expensive and not covered by my insurance).
Unfortunately, my insurance would only cover the cost of one of the repairs, so I still ended up out of pocket over $200, thanks to this awful place. I am a young woman and don't make a ton of money so it is very upsetting to be scammed out of $200.
Save your money and time. DO NOT GO HERE! If possible, wait until you can go to your REAL Dentist who will do a legit job and not scam you. If I find or remember the name of the rude Dentist who scammed me, I will be posting it.
