Extremely Disappointing Experience
After reading several reviews and hearing about the experiences of other customers, I must say that my visit to SmileCare Family Dentistry was extremely disappointing. From issues with billing departments to unprofessional behavior from staff members, it seems like there are significant concerns regarding the quality of service provided. It's disheartening to see so many negative experiences shared by different individuals. Based on the feedback and reviews available, I would advise potential customers to proceed with caution and consider exploring other dental care options in the area.
Lazy office time to go home!
I had made my first appointment in February, however I got Covid, and I canceled. March 11, 8:30 wanted to get my teeth cleaned . Get there and the lady takes bite wing X-rays instead of using the newer circular X-rays which is much easier on your mouth. While doing X-rays one of the X-rays cut the roof of my mouth. Then she said I don’t know if she will have time to do your cleaning, which I thought that’s why I went on the 11th. They made another appointment March 13 at 4:00, I am new to the area and I went to wrong costal Dental, I am walking on crutches because I am having knee replacement on March 28th. Call the office I was supposed to be at, young man I I had spoke with on March 11, told me to come on, I said it’s 10 miles away. He assured me they would see me. I drove 10 miles trying my best to hurry. Also I had to take 600 mg of Clindamycin that really upset my stomach, and I start itching everywhere. Get there before 4:30 and a lady says we can’t see you, I told her what the young man said, she said he at a call center which I didn’t believe. But then she says a nurse can look at your gums and I say I just want my teeth cleaned. So I left upset, I will never go back there, when I walked in 4 lady’s were sitting together talking. But the didn’t have time for me.waiting room was empty. And I may still contact a lawyer. Unprofessional! No other Dentist had ever made me take 600 mg of an antibiotic before?

Read full review of Coast Dental ServicesCoast Dental - inaccurately code treatments to get more money
Poor patient service, incompetent billing department.
They code treatments incorrectly (to get more money), choose more expensive treatments on purpose and make you get unnecessary treatments done to get the most money from you.
I caught It that they coded and submitted my treatments incorrectly to my insurance. I took It in my own hands to get this correctly submitted to my insurance. This alone was a 3 months long process. Once my treatment was correctly coded, I was told I overpaid. My insurance sent my reimbursement to Coast Dental. Coast Dental NEVER sent me my reimbursement to this day, even though they promised they would. Been chasing them for more than 6 months , and nothing happens. I have read that this has happened to hundreds , if not thousands other patients across the country who used Coast Dental. One word: SCAMMERS!
Desired outcome: full refund

I had filed a compliment about the Coast Dental on Swann. Dr. Lopez was very knowledgeable and kind. I began with their service in January or February of 2023.

I encountered a "dentist" who really couldn't...

Read full review of Coast Dental ServicesRefund of $322.00
I visited the Coast Dental office on 12/12/2022. I was told that I had a $5.00 copay for the visit. When I went to pay it they told me that they would just take it out of the credit on my account. I had no idea that I had a credit, so I asked what credit and how much is it. She said it is $327.00, and that it was an overpayment from over a year ago. She said the balance will be $322.00 after the $5.00 copay and printed me my receipt showing my credit balance. I asked the lady for a refund, who said it would take forever to process, and she said that I had to talk to the office manager about it. So I went to the front office and I formally asked the office manager to please process my refund. She again reiterated that it would take forever, and she had to audit it first before she could send it to corporate. I said that is okay, how long will it take you to audit and send it up to corporate. She told me she would be done with it Friday, 12/16/2022, and would forward it to corporate.
It has been 5 months now and I have called the local and corporate Coast Dental phone numbers to no avail. I have left message after message and nobody calls me back. Nobody ever answers the phone.
Desired outcome: A complete refund of my money.
Find another dentist provider, or change your insurance carrier at your first opportunity so you will have different "network" choices. What Coast is doing is not isolated to just one or two individual "complaints."
Same here I've been lied to constantly by the Peachtree City, Georgia office staff ane they will not return phone calls about a 5 week wait for a crown that hasn't even started. You cant trust these people.
