I went for Root canal, as recommended by my dentist.
At the time of appt. I asked for estimated cost. They said they will call em, but never called.
At the time of appt. I again asked for estimate but they didn't give. I do have insurance though.
After treatment, they charged me $46 for 2 visits, for sterilization!. I paid from my pocket as it is not covered by insurance. 2nd visit was quick visit for a follow up xray. Still he charged for Sterilization.
Dr. Pollock rudely refused to waive the fee. Her secretary said that because I sat on the dentist seat, they have to charge me!!
For root canal, I had paid him $1,200 and this is excluding filling. I had to go back to my regular dentist for filling and pay him again.
This system of referral and heavy charges, incl double charges for xray,s consultation fee together with my regular dentist, is total rip off.
I can get root canal in India for 100 dollars and have vacation in the same cost.
