3 /5 Jesse John Flores: This review is pertaining to the initial consultation. We are lacking confident at this stage because appointment information was contradictory and confusing between technician and dentist information. We came in expecting options and discussion of detailed costs. It appears that only after the office realized that we are willing to pay and/or have the insurance to cover procedures, NO detailed discussion, just declaration that these are the procedures going to be performed even though we did ask whether the referral was recommended or truly required. Response - āwe can do all of itā. Answer did not address the question of whether it was a recommendation or truly needed for patientās upcoming appt. No alternative treatment options nor payment plans were discussed; lots of assumptions. Patient didnāt feel they were part of the discussionā¦just mansplained to.
In addition, questioning the amount of pain meds prescribed for a young teenager. And again, discussion without alternative and cost efficient options especially when it comes to removing teeth.
Go somewhere else then, you ask? Well this is the 3rd oral surgeon we consulted with and only one confirmed that they take our dental insurance. Going to this specific oral surgeon only because insurance coverage is far in between these days.
We are told Dr. Kim is competent and able, another reason we came to this office. Weāll review again once $1,800 procedure (out-of-pocket) is completed.
