The dentist and hygenists/assistants talk to each other and comment on the television show while working on your teeth. Occasionally they pause to look up at the tv. This is disconcerting as a patient. I was told I needed a crown to avoid problems in the future. I was given an estimate of my portion (which was still significant) after insurance. I waited 6 months to do it because of the bill portion I would have to pay. After the work was done, I was billed the entire bill (over $1000) because insurance denied this work that Dr. Krimsky considered "necessary". Not only did I personally feel it was not necessary (thus I waited), but apparently my insurance company did not feel it was necessary either. I feel that if Dr. Krimsky gives an estimate on a service, they should have insurance approval PRIOR to doing the work, especially if it is optional work for future preventative problems. Then let the patient make a FULLY informed decision. I am very upset.
out of 5 stars
