Be careful

by beesknees56 at Citysearch

This place was very vague about costs and also kept me waiting for a long time. I would recommend getting very clear pricing before anything is done or you could be sorry like I was. If I could do it again I'd have asked more questions. Actually, if I could do it again I'd go elsewhere.

Also, when I called them originally, they said yes when I asked if they took my

insurance---but what they really meant, as they explained later, was that they would bill my insurance. That's different. I had to pay them upfront, then they sent the information to my insurance company, and then I had to wait and hope my insurance would reimburse me. My insurance reimbursed only a small portion of the costs since this place's prices are

much higher than what was covered. This was my experience and I can't speak for everyone. I would not recommend this place or send a friend there.

• Cons: unclear billing and pricing, expensive

relaxing experience for a scaredy cat like me

by jstan444 at Citysearch

I found Dr. Stan through a friend of mine who had a lot of cosmetic dentistry done with under IV sedation since she wanted to do it all in only 2 visits. My teeth are actually very nice but I am scared of going to the dentist and knew I needed some basic work (cavity, crown, etc). They gave me iv sedation and it was wonderful. A very relaxing experience and they explained how iv is safer than the pills you can take for sedation since it's monitored and can be increased or decreased as needed and is based on your weight. The staff there is SO nice and patient too. I had a very good experience and plan to use them moving forward too.

• Pros: iv sedation, staff, quality
• Cons: parking

gentle hygienist

I had a good cleaning here- hygienist was very thorough and gentle. Office is nice.

I believe the hygienist's name I had was Heather and she was very professional and did a very nice job.

• Pros: gentle, quality
