Review from Carolyn C.
Saint Louis, MO
5/20/2010
The first item listed under Viva Smiles products & services is "24-hour emergency answering service."
I don't care if your dental practice does not offer an emergency service, but how can you advertise everywhere that this is one of your perks....AND NOT HAVE IT?
Called the "24-hour emergency answering service" throughout the night last night, and the message was "We're sorry, no one is available to take your call," without even a message service.
Seriously. And the worst part is, not ONE dentist in St. Louis -- all of whom advertise emergency services -- have called us back:
- Viva Smiles
- Wolken Dental
- Premier Dental in the CWE
- Clayton Dental
- Sevens Dental
And let's not forget Emergency Dentist 24x7 whose entire business is based on their "network of fully staffed dental offices available all day, every day, even on holidays." Don't say you have a presence in St. Louis when you are not able to serve up anyone who can help. Unbelievable.
12 hours later, and not ONE has returned our emergency message or page. -
Review from Kristen L.
University City, MO
6/7/2011
Althought the staff was originally quite professional in dealing with my procedure, after the fact, things went south. First of all, before the procedure they provided me with an "estimate" of what my insurance would cover, without mentioning that my insurance had a one year waiting period for the procedure and NONE of it would be covered.
I applied for a Care Credit loan to pay for the balance they said I would owe (before I found out I would have to pay for the entire procedure), because I couldn't afford to pay for my portion of it. Despite knowing this, and knowing that my insurance actually wouldn't cover it at all, they went ahead and let me get the procedure and then billed me for the entire thing after the fact.
Then, to put icing on the cake, I have had nothing but problems since the inlay was put on. I have had shooting pains in my tooth, so I went back for a follow-up, where they told me that I needed to have a root canal (i.e. I needed to spend some more money!)
I had enough and went to another dentist for a second opinion, and he kindly told me that the pain was normal, baby aspirin would help it subside, and he adjusted the tooth because I was biting down on it wrong (even though Viva Smiles had already adjusted it twice).
I can't decide what is worse: the billing issues, or the fact that they didn't care about my well-being and they were going to keep suggesting more procedures so I would spend more money. Regardless, I will never be back, and will also be filing a complaint with the BBB so that other consumers are aware of their shady practices.
