Though his fees were exorbitant, I'd always had satisfactory results and decided to enlist his services to cover my lackluster teeth with veneers. He persuaded me to go with a shade less white than what I'd chosen, for a more natural look. The end result was barely a notch above my own drab color. My friends conceded my teeth had a grayish hue. I told Dr. Rifkin I wanted the color I initially requested. I was charged full price for the change plus additional fees incurred to fix damage to existing teeth when veneers were removed. Approx. eighty thousand dollars later, after paying twice the amount expected, he said this sort of thing happens all the time. In other words, talking patients out of what they want for what is allegedly in their best interest, then charging full price to change it to their original request, is a common occurrence. After years of paying large sums regularly, I was short on funds and needed to pay in installments. My valued client status quickly disappeared and I was hounded by Lynne on a regular basis. The full-court press considering what I'd invested over the years and the small amount owed was astounding--but the real cheap shot- receiving a notice from a COLLECTION AGENCY for $300!
out of 5 stars
