Please beware this dentist’s “$100.00 consultation deposit” trick!

The office only saying he charges $100.00 consultation fee, will refund it if the insurance company paid or let him do the full treatment, but they never mention he is charging total $210.00 for that consultation. So when you don’t want the treatment and even he received $175.00 from the insurance company for that consultation job, he still does not refund the full $100.00 deposited with reasoning that the fee is $210.00 and kept whatever the amount insurance company hadn’t pay.

Use the word “refundable $100.00 deposit” to bait as reasonable fee but never mention the total $210.00 charge.

In my opinion, the office is a small office but filled with high tech machines. My tooth had foreign material which was removed with special ultrasonic force without any injection. I saw the doctor treat my tooth under microscope that I had never seen. He explained my procedure very well even though I'm a big chicken and said you have to complete understand before I do it. Office staff are very polite although they have their policy. I think every office got to have policies to survive. But, their rules are reasonable to understand. They are not cheap but I shopped with two other specialists. Their price is reasonable and the point is that solved my problem. I am fully support my point of view.
