It is hard to believe that David & Associates has a 5 star rating…but it is their website.
I arrived at David & Associates at 2:45 for my 3:00 first time consultation. The office is small and confined, located in a strip mall storefront. It is dingy with old and dirty carpeting. The décor resembles a nick knack thrift store. I was ushered to the dental chair where I sat for about 25 minutes waiting for the dentist. He came in, said his name so fast that I did not understand it. He looked at the x-rays, looked in my mouth and mumbled that something was going on with 2 other teeth besides the one I came in for, then left. This evaluation took less than a minute. After another 25 minute wait I was taken to a “treatment specialist” who looked like a high school homecoming queen dressed like she was going to a night club. This “treatment specialist” produced a proposed bill totaling over $17000 for the implant procedure. This is the price they came up with after a 1 minute evaluation. Nothing about the implant procedure was explained. The only thing that was marginally explained was financing and insurance coverage. I doubt if the treatment specialist knew anything about dental implants. It was clear that David & Associates foster this patient assembly line concept to maximize revenue and consequently treat patients as cash cows.
