*BEWARE*

STAY AWAY AT ALL COSTS, THEY ARE SHADDY, & LIED TO ME ABOUT MY INSURANCE COVERAGE & ENDED UP CHARGING ME A BUNCH OF OUT OF POCKET COSTS.

I went to this place on the recommendation from a family member that had a chipped tooth repaired with him. I saw the work and it was pretty good so I decided to give his office in Granada hills a call to have similar work done.

I called the office and spoke to Lilian and scheduled an appointment. While on the phone she asked me what insurance company I belonged to and took down my social security number so that she can verify my insurance. I asked if they accepted that form of insurance and she said "YES"

My appointment time came around and I went to the office. Having heard of a TON of dental horror stories about unscrupulous practices, up-selling of unneeded "deep cleanings," and billing nightmares I was extremely cautious about making sure I wouldn't get charged or "sold" services that I didn't need or would have to pay out of pocket for.

As soon as I walked in, the receptionist asked me to complete some standard information. As I was standing there, I SPECIFICALLY asked if they verified the insurance and that they would cover everything that I needed to be done and she said "YES". So to clarify, I asked her if there would be any out-of-pocket costs and she said "no, your mom has a discount with us so the insurance will take care of everything"

Shortly they escorted me to the examination room to take some x-rays and asked me to initial a page that I authorized the service. I stopped the tech, and I asked again... is the insurance covering this? and she said "YES" the insurance will cover it. Believing what she said, I initialed the page. To make a long story short, they offered a "deep cleaning" which I KNOW was an up-sell that dentists are KNOWN for... and I asked again, is the insurance covering this? if not, I don't want it. They said "yes" the insurance will cover it. THEN then did the same thing again asking if I wanted to change out some of my older fillings, and again, I stopped them and asked if the insurance would cover, and again they said "yes".

After all of the procedures, I left thinking that wasn't so bad. About 2 weeks later, I get A BIG BILL for $$1875.00 for services rendered. I WAS SHOCKED... So I spoke to the receptionist again to discuss the bill and they said that I was responsible for the bill because the insurance company wasn't covering it.. I was FURIOUS. They said that when they called to verify the info w/ my insurance company.. My insurance company said that I had a PPO plan (which they take), but when they sent in my paperwork to the insurance company for payment... the insurance company sent it back saying I had an HMO (which they don't take).

I HIGHLY doubt that if this dental office called my insurance company that my insurance company would give them incorrect information. Furthermore, insurance companies generally give authorizations for services.

In short, they LIED to me about my insurance coverage and then billed me for the charges. PATIENTS BEWARE...
