Liars, pushy-sales and asked me if I "had a will to live". I live as holistic as possible and have many sensitivities/allergies. This dentist switched 2 years ago to being holistic although it doesn't say that on here. I believe in whole body health and teeth but all they were the entire time I was there was sales, sales, sales. I paid over $500 for a new customer rate without insurance for xrays and 3 teeth cleaned. I hadn't been to a dentist in 4 years and they have very little to do because I take care of my teeth but I did have an infection underneath one tooth and had to get it pulled. First they said it was urgent but then scheduled me 3 weeks out to have it pulled for $400! When I expressed that I thought it was urgent, they moved it to a week out instead. It felt like they were so busy trying to schedule around their massage and sauna they forgot I had an infection going on.

About Front Desk: Then as I was leaving the staff lied and told me that it is a law that I have to send in the tooth for testing and pay out-of-pocket for a biopsy on my tooth once it's pulled in NYS because they thought it could have a cyst, this is NOT true, we called the ADA and a few other dentists and multiple orthodontist after this visit to confirm. They argued with me until I was in tears...I said I did not want it sent in for testing or have to pay thousands for the testing... then asked me "Do you not have a will to live?" You've got to be kidding me! You have NO right to ask this question of your patients; this is a dentist office not a psychiatrist! The manager lady pulled me into her office (which was fragranced and gave me a bad reaction for days after) and tried to tell me I was "broken" in life like she was. She asked me everything from about my marriage to my religion. I told her respectively and repetitively that I had to leave because I was having a reaction to her office and she wouldn't let me leave, only continued to tell me I was "broken". It was the most horrible experience I've ever had at a dental office in my life. Needless to say I went to a better local dentist with less drama, he pulled the tooth with no issues, the infection is gone and I feel great! I do not recommend this dentist at all.
