Great Expressions Dental Centers

These guys are scam artists and motivated solely by profit. I went for routine check up after moving to the area and they were the closest office that accepts my wifes company' dental plan so I figured give em a try. I am a busy healthcare professional but every time I get any health related service I don't tell people that I am a healthcare professional to see if they treat me differently than someone who if not knowledgeable or ignorant. The dental team here from the dentist to hygienist are solely motivated by profit and have no regard to patient care or needs. They recommended I get 5 fillings and an expensive upgrade cleaning which I didn't need since I am very aware of the state of my dental health as I have seen my regular dentist in another city for years. When I graciously refused they got angry and refused to even perform the basic cleaning that is covered by my wife's insurance plan. They insisted upon the expensive uncovered upgrade cleaning package and offered payment plans and after I refused they stated they would not be able to help me. This place is a business driven unethical practice with people who probably are paid by the amount of work they can generate. I went to a second dentists and got a second opinion not only did I not need the expensive cleaning package, I ended up only needing a small filling on one tooth, total cost $360 instead of what these guys at great expressions recommended which amounted to $4280. I can't believe this kind of unethical medical practice exists and flourishes today. Their office was packed at the time of my visit and i even had to wait 2 weeks for my original appointment. If my office operated the same way I would be shut down by the state medical board. We need to spread the word and prevent these types of vultures/bad businesses from profiting from the ignorant general public who are not knowledgeable enough about medicine and dentistry.
