out of Read Reviews for Dr. James Fabe
Dr. Fabe may provide dental care (albeit with rudeness and an awkward manner), but his business practice is appalling. On my last visit he charged me partial for my future visit AND then proceeded to withdraw money from my bank account for what he claims are past dues. I received a bill from him for costs uncovered by my health insurance, although he confirmed with me during my appointment the extensive x-rays (one having to be done over because of a mistake by his assistant) he did would be covered. The bill was only 2 days past due when he, without consent, withdrew the money from my account. (He had my number based on his policy of charging patients for missed appointments) claiming that I signed an agreement that after 60 days, he has the right to claim past due amounts. This dentist is to be avoided.

He explains things clearly and honestly. His staff is amazing they made it very easy for me to be there. It was a very friendly experience.

This was the WORsT dental experience I've ever had! I went in for a routine cleaning and check up. I was told that I needed a deep cleaning and they'd have to use anthiestetic. His manner was abrupt and cold. He jammed the needles in and barely stopped when I complained about the pain.The actual dental experience was awful but the real pain was when I got the bill. A $1050!! and he only did one side of my mouth. I have dental insurance but I had to pay $250 out of pocket. My insurance will probably only cover another $300 which means I'll owe almost $500. He then tried to offer me his $1,200 dental plan. I mean, I have good teeth why would I need that. I'm going to fight this billing but I would never ever recommend this dentist again.
About Hygienist: The hygenist was new and training and was really nice but her boss was constantly demeaning her and telling her what she was doing wrong.

He explains everything. His bedside manor is straight foward, a little geeky but he tells what he's doing and why, which makes the stress level of going to the dentist so much more manageable.
About Hygienist: Sweet but a little too talkative but some people like that.

He has absolutely no chairside manner- he was yelling at his assstant in front of me and when he looked in my mouth, although he wasn't rough he was too business like. He looked like he absolutely hated what he did for a living. He never even said hello to me- he just sat down and pulled my chin toward him and started ordering me around "Open wider, move your head this way." I felt like I was at the DMV, I have no idea if his work was good but I would never go back anyway.
