I love my dentist! I started Invisalign almost a year ago with Dr. Zipfel and within 2 months my jaw pain and headaches gone! I've dealt with jaw problems and pain for over 15 years and now it is all gone!
The environment may seem anything but hostile upon entering this seemingly pleasant office. Don't be deceived! I went on account of a coupon offer for a cleaning, before I saw the dentist I was taken into a closed room with some "greeter" lady named Sida, where she asked me questions about my teeth and history. From there on out I felt as if I had entered the car dealership of dentist's offices. Everything put in front of me was a sales pitch, from an electric toothbrush to expensive unnecessary procedures. Sida, appears to be more of a sales closer than a "greeter". Dr. Zipfel tried to make me believe I had gum disease, which didn't add up with my hygiene habits and previous dentist's visits. They refused to just give me the cleaning and said that they needed to do a special treatment for my "gingevitus" that would cost $450. Six times more expensive than the coupon I had. It was a classic bait and switch. So I refused the services, which they wanted to preform right then and there, and went somewhere else. The other dentist confirmed my suspicion after a complete exam and cleaning. He complimented me on my great oral hygiene and happily stated that my entire mouth, including my gums, were very healthy. Dr. Zipfel's office uses your need to be healthy against you so they can sap you for all you're worth! Don't Be Scammed!
Zipfel dental is a very sketchy place. The owners are scientologists and base how they run their office, based on their beliefs. They believe that people have different "tone" levels and treat you a certain way depending on how they interpret you. They will charge you up front for work that hasn't been done and if you request it to be refunded Sita is all the sudden busy and unable to get a hold of. They don't care about quality patient care, all they think about is how much money they are going to get out of you! If you don't have the finances they call you a "flush" and rush you out the door. They constantly are restaffing their whole office... I would never reccommend anyone to go to this office, they are unethical, two-faced people. Go somewhere that has an honest practice.
I have been going to Zipfel Dental Care for about three months now. My initial experience with Dr. Zipfel and her staff was very nice. I was nervous to go to the dentist and they made me feel very calm. I needed quite a bit of dental work and was concerned about cost and time.
Sita, the Office Manager, was able to get me set up with a payment plan that fit my budget. I have now completed all of my dental work with them in only a few visits.
I would recommend anybody go to Dr. Zipfel's office. You will find caring individuals and a dental home for life.
