Complaint Review: Debbie Ashida-Dentist

Debbie Ashida spends the most money advertising in las Cruces but has the worst service. She is rude, spends no time examining the x- rays of her patients and allows the "hygenists" if they are qualified do the cleaning and examining.

I visited her last May (2009) and that visit was horrible where I did not have ay idea I saw a dentist! First of all she never introduced herself, just came over to glance at me and left. The assistants told me I was finished. I asked if I was going to see the dentist and they announced I saw the dentist already!.

I then asked if I had cavities, since that was the reason I was there to begin with- I had severe pains on my left upper jaw and two of the teeth were extreemly sensitive. The assistant left and returned (saying she'll ask the Dr.). When she returned she said I had no cavities.Needless to say I was dumbfounded, but the Dr. would not see me again, as "...she examined you already". I then left in disbelief...thinking it was because I used my Medicare insurance to pay.

A couple of days later, I caleld anotehr dentist and set up an appointment, to which they required the x-rays. I requested them from Debbie Ashida, and the office staff informed me to pick tem up would cost me $25, but if they mail them it'll be free. I asked them to mail them to my Dr. whom I had an appointment with.

Debbie Ashida Never mailed my xrays, regardless of the nuber of requests I made.They staff always gave me an excuse...she's away on vacation etcetera, etc.

In May 2010, someone form the medicare office called me to find out what I paid cash for, since I had paid some cash and had filled out a Medicare survey report. Can you believe the Medicare office following up 1 year later? It is preposterous. Do not use Debbie Ashida as your dentist. She is running a Medicare scam where she advertises she accepts Medicare but provides substandard service to Medicare patients.

I just got my cavities filled at the end of May, 2010 because a year was up and I could use my Medicare insurance to pay for a new set of x-rays.Any other Dentist would be better than Debbie Ashida.

The worst Dentist is Debbie Ashida who only is interetsed in getting rich off of the poor Las Cruceans who are Medicare recipients. The staff that work for her are nice, but it does not make up for the intolerable treatment of patients.
