Their staff was not friendly at all, I didn't feel welcome there. On the day of my cleaning I went it and filled out the appropriate paperwork and proceeded to be seen by the doctor. I must say that the doctors methods were extremely uneasy and rough given that I was there for a routine cleaning and consultation. The issue wasn’t necessarily with the service, but what has seemed to transpire over the last few years.

On the day of my cleaning I provided Diana who is the doctor’s office manager with my insurance information and went on my way. I was NEVER at any point in time informed that I owed any amount as I do have amazing insurance and pay all co-pays when requested. Fast forward to about 2 weeks ago when I receive an alert from my credit bureau that Mr. Chetan Parikh at Rockville Family Dental had sent me to collections for a charge of $23 initially which turned into $68 plus a $30 collection fee. I was appalled as I am very careful with paying my bills on time and my credit. I immediately contacted the Rockville Family Dental and asked what was this charge about. Diana informed me that i had an outstanding bill of $92. I asked her why wasn't i informed of this bill over the last few years, as I would have paid it immediately. She said that I was contacted. I then asked her to provide me with the methods, dates and times that her office contact me and she provided me with the email and phone number (which is still current from 2008) but couldn't provide me with any dates to when she or Mr. Parikh contacted me. In addition, Diana nor Mr. Parikh could explain how and why the amount had jumped from $23 to $68. I immediately found this to be very fishy and after doing some research have found that the doctor's business is not doing so great so he is looking to collect on anything he can even if it is fraud. I proceeded to contact the collections company and made the payment immediately.

I suggest that you run far away from this Dental office as you can do a quick Google search and find that I am not the only person who has had issues with this particular Dental Office and Mr. Chetan Parikh at Rockville Family Dental on Hubbard Drive. This doctor has proven time and time again that he conducts very shady business practices and does not provided gentle patient care.

I was confident that they were using the latest treatment methods. I was glad that they were located in a safe neighborhood. I've been to some other places where I was scared to get out of my car but not here. I was worried that I was going to be in a lot of pain during my procedure, but they gave me a local anesthetic that took the pain away. I was very comfortable the whole time. They were very qualified and knowledgeable. I could tell that they've been doing their job well for quite a while. I knew that I was going to be in a little bit of pain after my appointment, it happens every time I go to the dentist. It wasn't excessive at all though, and it went away pretty quickly.
