| - I haven't been a pt of theirs since 2014 but now that I have new insurance I'm in the market for a new dentist and ran across Okun Dentistry and these glowing reviews. I thought Dr. Amy Okun was very knowledgeable and I had no complaints with them until it came to charges. I needed a root canal, so I told them to give me an estimate of the costs, as I was in school for Ultrasound and on a budget. Don't get me wrong, I know they are unable to give exact costs but $200 and $700 is a huge difference. I made the appointment for the root canal and after a tough couple of hours, upon checking out was told I needed to make an appointment for a filing. I was upset and asked why they didn't tell me this when I scheduled the root canal, this would be additional and I'd have to wait until I had the money. I came back for the filing and Dr. Okun says, "now we need to make an appointment for your crown". I expressed just how very upset I was as these three steps could have been explained to me in the beginning and I could have put the $ away. (I do have dental insurance as well by the way:) Her response was "there's not much we can say". My response was, "oh there's plenty one could say". It was the last time I was there. It just gave me that creepy, businessy, feel that I don't want others to experience when you put all of your trust in someone who is supposed to help you, not try to slip in more costs here and there without you knowing until you get a bill. Nice facility, and I really miss the hygienist there but proceed with caution. Unless of course you always have $500-$1000 extra dollars lying around to give this practice ;-)
