out of Read Reviews for Dr. Synneve Skeie-Alameddine
this is a bait and switch fraud. lot's of "surprise", unnecessary work. she was very nice and concerned at the beginning, but lied and performed very shoddy work. she often referred me to a "specialist" after she started the work, only then informing me that she was unqualified to finish. most of the work even had to be redone at my expense, and to this day remains unfinished. beware of this unprofessional "dentist" who doesn't deserve to practice dentistry. do yourself a favor and get a second opinion before throwing your money away on this horrible excuse for a dentist. better yet, go to someone else. I just went in for a checkup and she convinced me that I needed a lot of painful, expensive and unnecessary work, like root canals, caps, and extractions. I was misled on financial assistance, getting a quote for one price then getting a much higher one at a ridiculous interest rate. I was completely lied to. shame on me for falling for a shyster while being an uninsured, single mother. she completely and knowingly took full advantage of that. I heard a woman in the next room call her bluff on her phony diagnosis (root canal and cap!) I should have followed that woman out the door. BEWARE!!!

Excellent service right from the get go. The front staff very courteous and friendly and helpful. Dr. Skeie made me felt very comfortable during my procedure, not painful while she worked. She was very skillful.

This really is a great dental office. The staff is wonderful and Dr. Skeie is as well. He cracks me up when my mouth is wide open and his fingers are in it there.

Dr. Skeie is very nice, congenial and yet very professional... She is patient, and when you are in her chair, you are the only patient she attends to, unlike many others whole may have several patients being worked on at once... On one occasion where a temporary crown came off during the weekend, Dr. Skeie was there on a Sunday morning to take care of the problem... I feel Dr. Skeie's work can not be surpassed... She is a dedicated perfectionist and will spend whatever time it takes to make her work the best it can be (ie the fitting of a crown)...
The 2 issues I have regarding Dr. Skeie is:
1) Her rates are high and generally I must pay approx. 40% of the total costs out of pocket that the insurance does not cover... Others have found this also to be the case...
2) You must keep track of your own insurance deductables and amounts paid for all services... If you go over your insurance limit, you are responsible for 100% of all the charges...
Each of us have to weigh Dr. Skeie's superior dental work vs her above average costs...
