I had seen "Dr." Estelle a couple times, while I had insurance. The first time I saw him he referred me to an endodonist.
After losing my job I developed a problem and I called his office and explained that I ONLY wanted relief until my medical benefits would kick in again and that cost was a factor. (I had lost my pervious job.) His office told me to come in. ALL HE DID WAS TELL ME WHAT I ALREADY KNEW! He again referred me to someone else and CHARGED ME $90!
I spent the day contacting other General Denists and discovered that $90 for such a consultation was extreme.
"Dr." Estelle has lost any future business from me...and won't be getting any referrals either.
JUST FOR YOUR INFORMATION, THERE ARE DENTISTS THAT ACUTALLY PRACTICE DENTISTRY AND DON'T PRACTICE REFERRING.
"Dr." Estelle is not a doctor, he is a referral specialist.
Thank you and BEWARE.
