I just wanted to warm all mothers of Dr. Michael Jones, a local pediatric dentist. On the recommendation of my dentist I took my child in to have one tooth looked at. Dr Jones spent all of 3 minutes looking at in my son's mouth to look at a hypo-calcified tooth and explain to me in 3 minutes what that meant. When I left I was charged $130!!!! There was no cleaning, no fluoride, no x-rays other than a 3 minute exam. I foolishly paid the bill and left. After much consideration I called the office back and was told regardless of the situation, a $130 fee was always charged and return visits would be $65. When I voiced my dismay at this excessive charge and the dentist contacted nothing was done to reduce the fee.
I have since spent time calling around to other dentist offices and have found that their rates are lower than Dr. Jones. I also called my dentist back who said that yes, they had complaints about Dr. Jones' fees as well.
I was very happy to see the recommendations for Dr. Kott and after confirming that he charges a fair price I have booked an appointment with him.
If you choose to use Dr Jones (I hear he is quite good) be forewarned of his fees, because his office sure didn't do so.
out of 5 stars
