No financial help or payment plan is available. It's sink or swim. Extremely expensive, esp if one has no insurance. Appointments are somewhat inflexible and they demand 48 hrs notice or you pay them for any changes. Most importantly: Procedures this dentist did were ineffective. I followed instructions to the letter and was a compliant patient. I got sick from one of the prescription tdrugs and dentist claimed he wasn't aware of any problem and that what happened to me was a first. I feel that this dentist should repay some of the money I paid him. It would be fair. My regular dentist can't even tell I had this dentist do ANY periodontal work! My mouth is a mess.
