Like anyone would, I did a lot of research before I settled on meeting with Dr. Sushner. My first appointment with him immediately put my sub conscience on alert and in hindsight i should have listened to it. He started grilling me on my financial background. It felt like he was trying to gauge how much he could charge me. I was extremely comfortable but i agreed to another meeting. He ran tests but would not tell me how much they were going to cost. He said that until the tests were complete he would not quote them. On my second appointment he said we were going to map out the treatment plan. Again i felt like we went through an extremely unprofessional negotiating round. He subsequently tried to put braces on me. He acted surprised that i would want to take some time to think about a $5,000+ expense. He called me repeatedly for a month to nag me about starting the treatment.
From the look of his office i got the impression that he hasn't had business in a very long time. His equipment looked very outdated too. I understand that it is a recession and that orthodontics might be one peoples "luxury for better times list" but i should not feel like "prey" in his office.
out of 5 stars
