After wasting time and anxiety going to pediatric and "family" dentists in my area who were in Delta Dental's network, I finally went to Dr. Sangsurasak, who was recommended by our pediatrician. I was very worried about the diagnosis that the Delta Dental ped dentist gave me that my 12-month old had a cavity and that there was nothing he could do about it until she weighed enough for anesthesia so he could drill. Dr. Sangsurasak not only dispelled that misdiagnosis (all she had to do was scrape the tooth to find it wasn't a cavity), but also told me about options for treating it even if it were true. Apparently, the other ped dentist was only willing to offer options that Delta would pay him enough money to perform!
Dr. Sangsurasak's office does bill insurance for you, but they require payment upfront with a credit card, and the payment from Delta, which may be less than her charge, is sent to you. Still, our visit ended up costing us the same as going to the other dentist and paying the co-pay, so there was no advantage to staying within the Delta network! Everything the other reviews say about Dr. Sangurasak's gentle and empathetic handling of children is true, and her waiting and treatment rooms are unequaled for kids.
