I went in for an exam and cleaning, they did one filling and then I had an absess on a previous root canal, well I went in a couple weeks later to take care of that and he put in a temporary filling and then said for me to come back in a couple weeks for a filling. So I set that appointment up and then came in and they said "oh, you'really here to be fitted for a crown." When the dentist came in he said, "oh that's right, I didn't talk to you about that did I. We'll it's not a must, but it is recommended to get a crown." I told him that I needed to find out what that was going to cost out of pocket first. He said sure and had his assistant talk to me, she got on the computer and told me that it would be about 150. She said insurance would cover half and so it would cost 150. She said that a filling on it would probably cost about 60 to 80. Based on that I said sure. I told them that if it was gonna cost me 300 or 400 I would go for a filling, but if it would only cost 150 then I would go ahead and do the crown. Well I got the bill and they said I owe them $300 when I talked to them on the phone and related what happened all they had to say was that I am better off with a crown and they can set up payments for me. Very dishonest.

About Front Desk: Very inconsiderate. I don't care what the bill says and what they think is best for me, they don't have to pay my bills so for them to tell me that paying a big bill right now is what's best for me is just ignorant and rude. Telling me originally that I had a choice between this and that and quoting a price on each then charging me twice what they quoted me and telling me it's for my own good, again very dishonest.
