Business ProfileforDr. Zak Dental Care & Orthodontics

On June 5th I went to this dentist for my wisdom tooth being infected ****************************** from it being impacted and infected, only one tooth. I had **rays done and only the Dental Assistant attended to me the whole time. Upon the return of the **rays the ** told me that I would be seeing the Dr via FaceTime on a computer screen, then was told I needed all 4 wisdom teeth extracted immediately and that it would be $2000. Out of pocket for the extraction and bone grafts, then another $500. For nitrous oxide, no sedation! Then they proceeded to make me put a down payment on it right then and there, $300. And then an additional $50 to hold my spot for my next appointment! I began to cry because I just dont have that kind of money out of pocket, hence the Medi-Cal needed, then the ** came into the room and asked why I was crying and I told her and she literally told me they are scamming you! And that nitrous does not cost $300. Nor do I need bone graphs for wisdom teeth, and that I cannot do a full 4 wisdom teeth extraction without sedation because it is basically oral surgery, and nitrous will not work, she also informed me that I did not need all 4 pulled at once, I could just do one or both bottoms since the top ones were not even close to coming out. And that this Dr made this decision based on never even looking at my teeth physically, never being in the room or talking to me personally, once I decided to leave after giving $300. I cancelled the next appt and proceeded to get my money back which has been a horrible hassle, and after reading several reviews on several different platforms I realized these people or this company should NOT be in business, they are scamming so many and I feel it needs to be reported and an investigation done, for poor medical practice, conning people out of money they dont have, you should read some of the reviews of this particular office, its unbelievable the things they are getting away with, I just want justice for us!
