Strong Sales Pitch. I went to this practice for a cleaning and they found no cavities. They then tried to sell me on whitening and some cosmetic work. I explained that I wasn't in the market for either but they were incredibly persistent. They made me feel bad about myself and almost convinced me that I needed the work. I did not appreciate the pressure they applied in trying to sell me these things and walked out lacking confidence about the appearance of my teeth - something I never had a problem with before.

Awfull practice - HIGHWAY ROBBERY. I noticed in one review someone mentioned that they try to "up sell"in this practice. That's a huge understatement. I went for an appointment with Dr. Jennifer Martin who seemed more than competent. She examined my x-rays and told me I would need a lot of work done. Then she came in with my treatment plan which ran almost 25k. I was in total shock. I had just had a significant amount of work two years prior and didn't understand how I could need that much additional work. As she walked me through the plan I stated that I didn't think I could afford that price and they told me I could apply for credit and it would "only" come to $900 a month. As I checked out they asked me for a $7,000 deposit on the future work and I said I would need to think on it. The treatment plan said I would have to make FOURTEEN visits and there was no option to pay for the work done at each appt. I've never had to prepay - every dentisit I've been to has let me pay as I go. They said they needed 19k before do anything - this really does nothing to establish a trust with the paitent. I felt incredibly pressured. They kept telling me the patient comes first but to me it seemed like the paitents money came first. I took her treatment plan to THREE additional dentists and all three of them (one was a family friend) said not only did I not need the amount of work she was suggesting but the prices that she was proposing were outrageous. For example work on ONE tooth which included a root canal had a total of $4,250. I've had root canals before and they were never close to that price. Along with numerous procedures, she said I needed two extractions and implants. I had another dentist work on my teeth and not only did he save the teeth she said needed to be removed the prices were reasonable. I'm sure she's a fine dentist but the aggressive way in which they approach their patients and request such a large payment without giving you a day or so to think it over is disgusting.

A reliable dentist. Dr. Lhota is sensible and low-key in his approach and has assembled an excellent support staff in his office. It's a pleasant place to visit and one comes away feeling well-cared for.

Best Dentist I Have Ever been to!!!!!!. I have been to many Dental offices, and could never find the right one. I work and go to school and could never find a dentist that can work around my scedule. The hours they have avaliable are so convient for me. I had an emergency because I had bad tooth pain, and I called. The staff was so nice to me, and wanted to help me. I got there and everyone was so willing to help me and make me feel better. They took care of me first and worried about the money later. That was great to see that the were more concerned about me then my money.

I will continue to go to this dentist and they are just great.

No-pain my arse. I was told to arrive half an hour prior to my actual appointment in order to fill out 5 minutes worth of paper work. I was called for my appointment 8 minutes late. I waited 41 minutes! I went in for a cleaning and they tried to upsell me an x-ray. The technician administering the cleaning promised me a "pain-free" experience. The cleaning was intolerably painful and i attempted to leave when they tried to coheres me to stay. I had to sternly request for the chair to be raised so i could depart.
