Bad experience.I arrived to Baltimore and was looking for a new dentist, so I tried going to Dr. Isaacson while my old insurance was still active. I got my teeth checked, the whole jaw moving x-ray, and a cleaning. He found 4 (!) cavities, which was strange, because the most I ever had in my life with my old dentist was 2. Oh well, this part was all fine.
I came back for drilling, and while it went fine, my back right molar now is extremely hard to floss because it wasn't done very well. After a week or two of waiting, I got the bill (the non-insurance covered part was going to be about $400, which I calculated beforehand). It was double that! He overcharged me by $400, and I couldn't figure out how he came to that figure. Finally, I called up the office and pointed this bill out, and WITHOUT HESITATION said "Oh, that's just a mistake. I'll send out a new one", which they then did. Were they just hoping I would pay their bogus amount without question? I felt suddenly like they were just trying get squeeze money out of me.
The whole overcharging thing makes me wonder if I actually had those 4 cavities to begin with. I would never be able to go back here, solely because I can't trust them to have my best interests at heart.
