I've had two implants performed by Dr. Larson as well as 4 temporary anchors to intrude two teeth. Dr. Larson is extremely polite and very knowledgeable about what he does. He has great chair-side manners. He explained very clearly the implant procedures. However, there was no explanation of the anchor procedures without additional questioning by me on the day of the operation. Also, a very, very important bit of information for any future or current patients ... ASK FOR ALL PRICE QUOTES FOR ANY PROCEDURE IN WRITING! I was extremely disappointed when I was quoted a certain amount on the phone but had to pay 25% more on the day of the anchor installation. For the last two years I've been a patient, I've been very happy with the service and treatments I've gotten as well as the individual care. However, for a working person like me, a 25% increase in price on the day of the operation is a punishing blow. I now have lost trust with this doctor but still have to go to him to remove the anchors (which I have asked for a quote in writing). What does a patient have with a doctor, other than trust? If I can no longer trust that I will be treated fairly from a professional and ethical standpoint, what else does a patient have?
