Dr. Carlson often tries to sale unnecessary things or procedures (for example: special mouth guard, special mouth wash, unnecessary tooth filling, cancer screening, etc), and he did that enough where I had to say no more than once at times. One unnecessary screen test was done without my approval, and I received a bill for it. When I told him I didn't owe the bill since I didn't agree with the service, he started sending me collection threats with the amount owed. He didn't disagree with my unapproval to the service, but he said that he "requires" all his patients as if that is a mandatory. He also said the reason for the test was because many deaths occur because of the particular cancer. He also refuses to release my x-rays (which was already paid for by my insurance). I recently offered to pay 1/2 of the bill, which I originally disagreed to but because of the fact that I wanted to at least get my x-rays for my new dentist (this was offered via my mediator BBB).

About Hygienist: I do however think his previous hygienist (no longer with this dentist) was excellent. Both communicated and serviced her patients well. I even sent a kudos letter to the dentist appraising her excellence.

I know this doctor: 7 years plus
