I am extremely concerned about the quality of care from this dentist and whether she railroads vulnerable people into unnecessary procedures.
I rarely have had cavities in my life and went for a routine cleaning. After barely looking into my mouth, Dr. Shah pronounced that I had FIVE! Where on the X-ray are they? Not visible. She pointed to some stains on my back teeth. There! Cavities! If you don't have fillings you will need root canal!
I let her do two "emergengy" fillings. She was very rough.
The cleaning, supposed to cost $25 on my health plan, turned into $169 because she turned on the Cavitron - a normal part of any cleaning - and called it "special gum cleaning."
The sticky film on the unhygenic chair clung to my calves and remained stuck to my skin even when I got up.
They handed me a bill for nearly $600. I went home in tears, downloaded the rate schedule, and found I had been overcharged (the office issued a $120 refund).
After seeking a 2nd opinion from another dentist on whether I really needed more dental work, he took his own X-ray and examined my teeth: NO cavities, NO fillings needed, unlikely any were needed in the first place. "What kind of car does she drive?" he asked.
Be warned.
