  I am truly sorry that this patient is having health issues. This patient chose to have an upper hybrid.  The treatment plan is signed along with the discounted fee plan and all consents.  Her next appointment was scheduled and at that time the necessary teeth would be extracted and she would receive her upper hybrid.  We have to order the (hybrid)denture immediately so she would have teeth when she left after the next appointment.  All of this was explained.  The bill that she says was false was not.  Implant Depot does thousands of dentures a year.  The information in their computer would only be in our name as the billing goes to Ferber Dental Group, they don't keep the name of every person the dentures are made for. This patient has accused us of fraud since she cancelled. We do not defraud our patients in any way. She was only billed for the costs to us and the proceedures done here. She was refunded the difference between the work done and the payments she made. No further refund is due.

  that is absolutely a lie when you send to these companies that make these teeth the invoice comes in the patients name and I have an invoice in my name, but yet Im not in their system. He knows he did not send to make those teeth because I canceled immediately and he just wants to take my money. I called him and told him I did not want to do the process, but he continued to call me and asked me to drop the dispute and I did not. Hes getting paid for something that was never done that he never paid that company. No company is not going to have your name if its ordered by a dentist office in their computer it goes by the dental office and the computer name and I told them I was calling for teeth that was supposedly done from Ferber so he is an absolute liar and a thief to the point that I had to call the police and sheriffs department to come to his office so I could get the paperwork because he refused to give it to me and I have proof of that even the sheriff was annoyed because he could not believe that he would not give me my paperwork the moment I told him I was canceling he told me he was gonna charge me $5000 for canceling he is an absolute fraud

  also if it was true what they say why is my name on invoice and why did the girl who answered not say that they do not keep names in computer only doctors office how would they know whos teeth are whos without a name makes no sense. He is trying to justify his actions because he knows he did not have them made he was told to cancel why have them made?

  Customer Answer

  as you can see the invoice has my name on it that they made them for me besides the doctor so they should have a record of who they made it for thats why I tell you he is a fraud from the very beginning. All he wanted was money thats all he cared about. He doesnt care about the patients. He only cares about putting money in his pocket and that should not be allowed.

  This patient has no valid complaint as I explained in our prior response.  She continues to accuse Ferber Dental of fraud, not something we take lightly.  As I explained in my original response, Implant Depot does not keep the names of our patients. We are their customer, they bill us so there is no reason for them to keep any other information.  I have attached the **************** statement which shows that we paid Implant Depot for her denture, no fraud involved. We cannot use her denture although we paid for it.  I am sorry she is having health problems, in consideration of that we only charged her what we paid for the denture and what it cost us to get to that point.  We have been more than fair to her and she continues to accuse us of fraud.  I hope this is the end of this matter

  I am sorry that *********************** is unhappy with her upper denture and will refund the $1559.00 as soon as I can get the credit card number she used to pay for the denture. (we do not store CC numbers).   There is nothing wrong with her denture and each time she came in with a complaint about it, she left satisfied. I requested she come in again but she refused. Ferber Dental Group never wants an unhappy patient, so I will take the loss and refund what she paid for the denture.

  I Have been having trouble with some partial upper dentures i received from Aspen Dental in Lakw Worth ** I went back to see them numerous times and the never corrected the loss of taste, cuts inside my mouth, sensitivity, etc. I then proceeded to go to 3 other dental groups.(Just picking them from Online information)Ferber Dental Group did an examination and provided my with a treatment plan and Helped with Financing options The financing still left me short approx $4k dollars. I couldn't go ahead with the treatment without securing the balance of the financing. 2 weeks later I received invoices from the following lenders saying they were billed by the Ferber Dental Group for work not done ************ Patient Solutions $6450.00 Alphaeon Credit $ ******* Care Credit $1800.00 I received no bills, statements or any communication from the dental practice Since i filed my complaint with the ******* Health ************************* complaint form, ************ received ******* and left a balance owed of $1512.00 Alpheon Credit received ******* back Care Credit received 0 back, leaving a balance of $1800 This Dental practice seems to have had numerous complaints and bad public image I am on permanent Disability and need the money returned to help me live month to month, as well as the negative impact this is having on my credit report Please advise me what options or recourse i have as a consumer being ripped off

  The patient was presented a treatment plan. He applied for and accepted outside financing. The financing was not enough to cover the full amount so he agree to pay out of pocket the difference which can be seen on his signed treatment plan which is attached. The patient also signed all of the consent forms for his treatment. Furthermore, digital impressions were taken and his temporary teeth were made. He was scheduled for his next appointment.  It is not the Ferber Dental Group's fault that he could not come up with the additional money as he had agreed. He knew full well he was beginning treatment. We have returned to the finance companies all money he is due. We wish him the best.

  I am rejecting this response because: I was totally lied to about what i was signing. I had no way of getting the extra money needed to complete the work and NEVER agreed to go ahead.

  I can provide you with signed treatment plans from other Dental groups i consulted with, and none of them went ahead and charged the financing i received ahead of time HE DID NO WORK

  I have also included some other complaints i found regarding the Dentists unlawful and poor customer service in the past, as i see now that he takes advantage of his patients. Being disabled, i am also filing today a complaint 

  with the *** regarding him taking advantage and harming the well being of a permanently disabled senior . Please review the documents attached.   HE is also lying about sending all the money back. As of yesterday. CARE CREDIT still has an $1800 Balance  ************. The only Treatment that was done to me was an examination and xrays and a scan of my mouth I would agree to pay for these services, even though the initial visit was supposed to be free. This is a poorly run, poorly managed and predatory Dental practice that take advantage of paitents with real problems. Thnsk you.

  I visited the dentist may 17, 2022 for a FREE consultation [according to the promotion] at the time. I was charge *******. When I complained, I was refunded all but $600 stating the $600 was for work done. I told them that I was advised the office visit was a FREE consultation. The dental manager/dental office refused to ***** the refund even after me contacting them regularly this past year, to no avail. I think it was a misrepresentation on the part of the dental office. If I had known they were going to charge me, I would have declined the services. Please assist with this. it would be much appreciated.[this complaint was completed by *********************, *****'s daughter]

  ************** did receive a free consultation.  At the conclusion of that consultation, a detailed treatment plan was presented to him.  He signed the treatment plan and agreed to begin the work right away.  He was well aware of the price because he applied for financing when he was here.  He signed paperwork agreeing that he would be charged for any work done.  I can provide that paperwork.  He was only charged for the work done. The balance given by the finance company was refunded to him.  We took impressions of both his upper and lower and they were sent to the lab for processing so they would be ready for his next appointment when his extractions would be done.  He did not show for his next appointment.  Then he cancelled.  There was no misrepresentation here, he got his free consultation and he agreed to begin work, which we did.

  I am being charged and paying interest on services never preformed.4/5/21 I agreed to a treatment program totaling $9862 which I was originally told would be $89 monthly to pay off and it ended up being $189.00.I went in for the first part of the treatment and the office could not complete the extraction. I had to go to another office and have it completed. I was promised a refund which did not happen till 11/2021 when I called to cancel everything. I was asked to come into the office and "work out" what they could do. I went in and agreed to let them continue with a portion of the plan and they refunded $4269.00. I made another appointment to get impressions made to which I was told the implant needed to be replaced. I had the implant repaired and had to wait 3 months for it to heal. During that time I relocated out of Palm Beach County. I called the office and explained the situation and they told me the crowns were already placed and the treatment plan was completed. I told them I still have a temporary and there is no way it was completed. I was told Dr. ********************** would contact me which never happened. At this point I contacted the finance company and disputed the charges. ********************** sent a check for $1846.00 in 8/2022 (over a year later) claiming to the finance company the other work was completed. I contacted the office by phone several times after that with no call back from Dr. **********************. I emailed the office a list comparing there treatment plan with what was completed and the balance they owe. Again no response. The amount still owed is $4808.04 as shown on the attached documents.I am requesting the check in the be sent to my current address or will bring the matter to Palm Beach County Court. At that time any travel and legal fees will be added to the total amount sought.

  I am rejecting this response because:
  The only phone call I received was from the office saying they will not be refunding the full amount. No mention of another refund check being sent.
