Complaint Review: Dr Oswick and Kashlak

This was my first time at this dentist and I was NOT impressed. I didn't
feel that welcome there, and before I even went back for my appt, I had
to pay $200+ (and I have insurance!) The doctors were kind of cold and
did not have good bedside manner at all. They told me I had several
things wrong, and then asked if I could fork over another $500 for a
down payment (to purchase equipment because I have some "big cavities.")
This request was made after my mouth was bleeding all over from a
cleaning! They were essentially trying to get me to drop money there on
the spot. Who walks into a dentist expecting to pay $700+? When I said I
wanted to take a little time and think about it (how I wanted to pay -
apply for a credit card or hand over the $500) I felt like they got
snippy with me. They asked me what the issue was and I told them money.
They explained the issue is serious and has to be taken care of
immediately. I was about to get charged for a procedure I hadn't even scheduled nor
did I want to do there for after all I had been through! I asked if they
knew how much everything would end up costing me, and they said they

didn't know. What?! I was in pain, and about in tears as I left. I will
NOT be returning. Very old school building and equipment too. The whole
experience was frustrating, upsetting, overwhelming, and just
miserable....I better get reimbursed by my insurance company! I will
find another dentist to fill my cavities...not these mean people!
