Prospect Dental and Implant Center

Read 2 attachments: My response to Monika Strelak the Office Administrator's passive aggressive letter to me. Simply, because I'm shocked and questioning why they are billing me $2,664.00 for a simple tooth extraction of which I have already paid them $1,271.00 see attachments. The unprofessionalism and lieing is astounding. Difficult to express how damaging this entire experience has been. I was a referral from my primary Dentist and I thought I would be in trusting caring hands "Dear Monica, I was referred to Robert J.Ryan DDS by my primary dentist David J. Bohm, DDS to receive an expert opinion on a faint small gray area of my tooth. My intent was to keep my tooth and not have it extracted because I was not in pain. However, after asking Dr. Ryan if there was any possible way to save my tooth, his response was: "Nope it's a goner". After my tooth was extracted and with my face still numb Dr. Ryan mentioned building up the area with bone. I responded: "do what you need to do" regarding my tooth extraction. That was the extent of my consultation that morning. Regarding your letter dated October 12, 2023 is a complete fabrication of events. When you called me prior to my appointment for June 6th of 2023 I asked you if that appointment was a consultation or the procedure? To which you replied: " No, that is for the procedure" My reply "I should probably meet with Dr. Ryan first since I'v never met him prior to the procedure" and you reassured me "that wouldn't be necessary and that I could speak with him for a few minutes before the procedure". I agreed to the appointment because I was referred to Prospect Periodontal & Implant Center by Dr Bohm. Your comment about me "refusing the offer of a separate consult" is false and unfounded , you never extended such an offer. Regarding paragraph 2 of your letter. You never emailed me any options to review. I checked my spam and junk folders to be certain. When I arrived you never once asked me if I had reviewed your emails, because you didn't send them. Regardless, you did not sit down with me to discuss any of these options beforehand, nor did anyone else. Paragraph 5 of your letter regarding "reached out to you on numerous occasions" only after I called several times, emailed your office including on FaceBook's messenger. When I missed your calls I would immediately call back both your office numbers several times to only receive voice mail. Considering the fact that you never answer the phone. What difference would it have made leaving a voice message on Sunday verses your regular business hours, you do not pick up and answer the phone. "Due to the unpleasant incident with you, these courtesies extended to you" What courtesies, your dishonesty. You specifically talked me out of a prior consultation when I had asked you about one. I barely spoke with you when I came in for my appointment. Your speculation that my last voice message "demonstrates a disingenuous attempt in resolving this problem" is snarky and unprofessional. If I had no desire to resolve this issue I would've never bothered to reply. Instead I desperately tried reaching out to your office via phone, email and now by post. I was not threatening to use social media, I am planning on posting my reviews to warn others of my experience. In your letter you falsify events and attack my character, yet, you would like for me to call you to "bring this to a mutually acceptable conclusion" all within the same paragraph. Whom's disingenuous here! At this point there is nothing further to discuss. In my last voice message I asked you to recalculate the charges to a self pay option since you knew from the beginning that Prospect Periodontal & Implant Center was not in my Dental insurance network and would only cover the extraction. I would be willing to pay the difference if there is a remaining balance. Regards,"

What a terrible customer service! Whoever answered the phone was rude and condescending! I asked for the pricing for an implant and the response was: This is not a price list, you have to make an appointmentfollowed by a condescending laugh. Do not even go there! The receptionist gives the tone to the whole office. This woman needs customer service skills training, or she shouldnt do this kind of a job. Youve lost a possible new patient.
