out of Read Reviews for Dr. Marie Jean-Mary
It is the first time in my life I have had to threaten someone with 911 to get them to move to let me out of a dental cleaning room. Jean-Marie was incredibly smug and condescending in trying to explain some insurance issues that I didn't really understand. She also wouldn't apologize when I mentioned she was being condescending! I had told her I was interested in having the cleaning done even though her staff had screwed up and scheduled me one day early for my cleaning but she was unwilling to do it even when I stated I'd be willing to pay if insurance didn't cover it. She then refused to move out of my way (she was blocking my path to the exit) when I said I wanted to leave. I had to actually take out my phone and state that I was going to call the police before she moved. She is very difficult to work with and her staff is obviously disorganized (by scheduling the appointment at some time where apparently they couldn't even bill the insurance). She actually scolded me for this, then I pointed out that her staff had scheduled the appointment and she couldn't expect me to understand all the insurance issues, I am hardly an insurance specialist, but she and her staff should be! I would stay away from her and go to a more established dentist with a mature staff and process for taking care of insurance issues.

This dentist also goes as Central Dental, Betty Jean Marie, Jean Mary Betty, Marie B. Jean Mary, make sure to check all reviews.
I went to her office on advise of a common friend from her former church. As others have mentioned, she is the type of doctor who goes for aggressive treatment. I went with a cracked filling. Upon first visit she put anesthesia and started "cleaning". I thought only the necessary to examine the situation, but not, she went ahead and prepared the tooth for a crown. It was the first time in my life I developed bruises on my face due to anesthesia application. The crown cracked on first trial, the tooth didn't match my tooth color, and her response to that was that no one is going to notice because it is on the back. She always seemed to reason in terms of what the insurance could cover. Whenever I raised a complaint, she lost her temper and professionalism, blaming my complaints on not understanding the american system (I am a foreigner). I would like to think that I good dentist is one that tries to save a tooth, not one that tries to do the the most lasting procedure. I ended the treatment with a different dentist office. As suspected, she confirmed the crown was unnecessary, an inlay could have done t
