I went to Dr. Silverman because I'd moved from another area and was looking for a new dentist, and received an ad in the mail for cleaning and xray special. His office and staff were cordial. I needed two small cavity fillings. He quoted me $500 to do the fillings! I was in shock. Way overpriced. I hesistated and then he said, "Well, Let me make you a deal" - which I thought meant he was going to lower the quote. No, he just invited his office manager/wife into the room - and she said - "if you come back in at a later date, we'll still honor the original price of $500. When can we schedule you?". hahahaha-- riiight. Then he started to try and sell me braces (which I didn't ask about)!. I left and made a trip back to my old dentist who did the work for $250. I learned my lesson, if someone plasters your mail with ads, there may be a reason. Like they charge too much. And also, during the visit, I remember he kinda snipped at little at his hygeinist, who seemed nervous, like she was under pressure. That made me uncomfortable. I've learned that if you have unhappy/nervous medical staff that can be coming from their boss.
out of 5 stars
