My husband finally had his teeth removed from the oral surgeon. They also found 9 cavitys of which your dentist failed to assess with his exam. Honestly between the hygienist trying to rush thru a half treatment yet was gonna bill for a complete cleaning to your dentist canceling the day of the procedure to his error in removing the #4 tooth and now not addressing that he had 9 cavities besides the 2 infected teeth is malpractice as far as I can see. I will report all this to the dental association or whatever it is that you report all these mistakes to. I had to jump thru hoops when your office offered no help to assist us with the next step to get My husband the emergency services he needed to have them infected teeth removed. He has a history of seizures and all this stress to his body could hv caused him to seize. You had no problem billing the insurance of whom I will also report this to as well. Terrible unprofessional service and this will also be shared for other customers to read so they avoid this practice.Review from Michelle A

I was referred to Dental One Associates in Columbia MD. I received preventative treatments: cleanings, exrays, fillings. I quickly observed that particular location has very high staff turnover and poor poor poor customer services, meaning that more than half the times I have gone to appointments the dentist late by over 20-30 minutes without anyone acknowledging that the patient (me) is still waiting in to be serviced. That happened at nearly every appointment. In addition, the desk staff has a low tolerance for basic questions and frequently become attitudinal and dismissive. Dental One Associates in Columbia MD has owed me a $124 refund (that's my money) for nearly a year now. In April 2024, the office manager submitted the refund request, and here it is nearly July 2024 and I still do not have the money that is mine and needs to be released by Dental One Associates, aka, Dental Care Alliance, LLC I would never refer or return anyone to this dental provider (no matter which name they hide under). They give the dental industry a bad reputation and honestly does not seem to honor the hippocratic oath in medicine "Do No Harm". ** ******

While we are unable to discuss personal matters in an online forum, if there are any questions or concerns, we encourage our patients to contact our office manager directly, so we can provide better support. Thank youReview from Meritt T

We moved to *********, ** recently from Montgomery County, MD and I looked for a new dentist for my children. I spoke with the office at Dental ************** in *********, confirmed they accepted my children's dental insurance and made appointments. After the first cleaning, they handed me a bill which included services I did not ask for; namely expensive panoramic x-rays. I was blindsided. I paid the bill and went home and called their insurance so I could understand the charges. There should have been no charges. They decided to charge me before submitting to their dental insurance. Unfortunately, my son can only get a panoramic once every three years so I know I'm going to get charged for a very expensive and unneeded x-ray. The worst part is that I tried to call and speak to a manager and have a calm, informed discussion with her. She was immediately defensive and instead of hearing me just insisted I should have known what services my son was going to be receiving despite not being told and it not being on their website. Very unprofessional. She insisted that everyone just knows what happens at first appointments. So my mistake was not having intuitive powers. If you want to go to this practice make sure you ask the questions because they do not offer up accurate information. Also, it is a big group and there are products and pamphlets everywhere. Ever go to a place and the only thing they seem interested in is upselling you? That's the vibe I got.Review from Grace D

Doesn't even deserve a star! Huge disappointment. I only went to them because I had an emergency and it was close to the holidays. I am skeptical that the work they did was even necessary. It didn't even come out well. Be careful of the Front Desk! Don't sign anything! Like I mentioned, I had an emergency and for any work to get started, it required my signature right then and there so I was forced to sign. I was informed that my insurance paid hardly anything for the work needed. I then found out 3 days later from the insurance company that it wasn't true and that they covered 3/4 of the work. Went back and forth with this for months and the dental office refused to give me back the portion I had paid that was covered by the insurance. They lied to me telling me they had proof insurance didn't cover it and then refused my calls. Credit card company couldn't help me with charge back so I wrote a grievance through my insurance who eventually gave back to me the money I was overcharged. Find another dentist!Review from Janice B

I don't know why and how they are still in business. They are unprofessional. My appt was given to someone else while I was standing in line waiting to be seen. They switched me to another doc unknown to me and made me wait 2hrs to be seen. She told me I had to come back later that day to get the filling. I have been in severe pain for 4 days now. I feel like my nerves are exposed. Called for a follow-up appt and the said I can't come in for another week. I WISH I NEVER STEPPED FOOT INTO THAT OFFICE.Review from Maria V

I was told by the dentist that the insurance covered my crown and she was surprised as it is unusual. I was told that my co-payment would be only $55.00. Now I am receiving bills from the dental office in the amount of $433.00 and also from the Cigna insurance Company for $1,656.00. This is very shameful, someone made a mistake in your office and the patient is made out to be the scapegoat. I don't think this is very nice. In fact, it should be illegal what you are doing. I have made an appeal to Cigna and filed a complaint as well. This Company goes by Towncare Dental Associates of **** ****** **. Obviously, they don't know what they are doing there, Too busy with idle gossip to be doing their work. They need to focus and pay attention to their work. I will be sending via mail all the paperwork showing the original bill you sent me for $55.00. Someone should be fired. You don't even deserve one star! All this at a time that I am still recovering from hurricane Ian, the insurance doesn't pay and I have to pay to fix everything in my house, roof was damaged and I have to pay for it. I cannot afford all these expenditures.Review from Patricia R

I wish I would have seen these reviews before I made an appointment with **************. I have called the office manager, *********************, every day for 5 days (being overcharged and not a receiving a complete exam) and she has yet to call me back. They tried to sneak in a $67 charge and she just poked a couple of teeth and decided I needed an eval from a periodontist. In her Dr. notes she called it a full exam! I call that lying. Just imagine if you had an emergency!---- and it gets worse! I went to the perio and whatta cluster! They ALL said that it was covered by my insurance and it wasn't. Is this a SCAM? I suggest avoiding any dental care under the umbrella of Dental Care Alliance LLC, (which includes All ******** Dental operations and the Dental Specialty Center of ***************) and find more reputable practices that don't lie. They don't deserve a single 'star' rating. Be wary... keep your teeth!
