Before I write this lengthy post I want to preface that I've been coming to Jefferson Dental since 2021.
I started at the Carrollton office and I should've run when my insurance covered 0% of the braces and I was asked to get a Care Credit card to cover my $4,000+ braces.
Fast Forward a year, I moved to Fort Worth and attended the Gran Plaza location & they told me that the Carrollton office had not responded to their requests for my dental records despite several assistants from the GP location consistently reaching out to the Carrollton office. I then had to do my examinations and x-rays again in GP as if I were a new patient because they were not being sent over. Throughout this process, I'm never given an update on how much longer I will have the braces on until I ask. Mind you at this point I've had my braces on for 2 years. I get told I need an implant consultation but my teeth are straight so that is the last step I need.
A few things I wanted to add- I went in to do a dental cleaning and paid a certain amount at the end of my visit, but then I received a letter in the mail saying I owed $575 but with no itemized list. So I don't even know what they're asking me to pay.
Also, I visited a location in North Richland Hills once for a consultation, and the male orthodontist there was extremely rude and disrespectful to his dental assistants. I did not want to work with him after seeing the way he talked to these ladies. He was bragging about himself when giving me a consultation and also, he tried to make me pay for a whole other braces treatment due to his discernment. 4,000 additional dollars to the initial 4,000 I already put on Care Credit. +2-3 more years of braces. They asked me to take out another Care Credit. My time was wasted and I left.
Back to my intended story, I moved back to the Carrollton area so I thought, "I can go to my old dentist's office and finish the rest of the braces process there as well as the implant consultation."
Fast forward to today, I go into the Carrollton office. I arrive at 4:25 for my 4:30 appointment. I told them my situation and they asked me to take a seat. As I'm scrolling on my phone I am attentively waiting for my name to be called with no luck. I notice that everyone who goes in after me has gone to see the doctor before me.
Before I realize it, I am alone in the waiting room with one other person. I move to a seat where I am more visible to the women at the front desk. At this time, they were dealing with a woman who was upset they told her she missed her 15-minute grade period. The woman claimed she came in on time, but the front desk was helping someone else so by the time she was assisted the grace period was over. It was not the woman's fault.
Promptly after they help her, I get told, "We just want to confirm what you're in for." I immediately went to the front desk and asked them if they had forgotten about me. They tell me yes. I told them that I had been waiting for AN HOUR. I live an hour away -with traffic- due to it now being 5:30. What I failed to mention is that I took TIME OFF WORK to get there for them to forget about me. They tell me the excuse "We're new but we'll get you in quickly." At this point I'm visibly upset; this is a time I cannot get back. Also, despite them being new - if that is true- I wrote my name down on the sheet that they follow and spoke to both of the women present.
I take a seat and I'm so mad I cannot think of waiting any longer nor being with my mouth open for this consultation when I'm extremely upset. I got up went to the front told them to cancel my appointment and walked out.
I have given this dentist's office so many chances that I am officially done with them. I do not even care for the consultation anymore I want these braces off immediately.
When I get my braces removed I am no longer going to have them as a dentist/orthadontist and look elsewhere. I suggest you look elsewhere also.
