Complaint Review: Dr. Ronald Perkins Orthodontics

GREEDY, SICK, TWISTED, BEWARE, SCAM ARTIST, ****DO NOT GO TO THIS DENTIST****** MONSTER. 

I am a VICTIM, not a patient.

You would receive better care from a sadistic blind man with a pair of pliers. At least it would cost you less in money and trauma in the long run. 

DON"T DO IT. It's not comfortable, it's not cheap to get a cleaning or work done and I find it heartbreaking that Dentists like RONALD PERKINS actually recommend unnecessary procedures to JUST TO TAKE YOUR MONEY. I believe the recommendation of unnecessary surgery/procedures is called malpractice. Don't Dentists have to take a Hippocratic Oath, or should we just hope they mean us no harm?  

I went in for a $30 "first visit exam". THIS EXAM DOES NOT INCLUDE  A CLEANING, it's to get a hard sell for a $600-$700 "deep cleaning".

When the hygienist took the x-rays she was very rough shoving them into my mouth in a violent manner. She was running back and forth in a rush. My mouth and gums were sore for a few days after. Then when she removed the x-ray vest she scratched my neck when she pulled it off. She laughed and apologized at the same time. I had a brief visit with DR. RONALD PERKINS. He told me I need two crowns, several fillings and a deep cleaning.  They put together an estimate one of over $2,500 and one of over $3,000. I felt I needed a second opinion because the doctor was so BRIEF, RUDE and UNPROFESSIONAL. He even made a joke about my "broken tooth"and said "peasant" under his breath as he walked off. 

The next day I called to get my x-rays and the they had a hard time finding them because they had misspelled my last name. They located them by the misspelIing. I went in and signed a release form, paid $25  and agreed to pick them up when the duplicates were ready.   The next day I took the x-rays to a private dentist and he was not able to use the x-rays taken by DR RONALD PERKINS ORTHODONTICS because they were NOT READABLE. My new dentist redid the x-rays and did not see any need for crowns. I only needed a few fillings. My tooth was nicked, not "half missing".  

I do not feel I received proper dental exam at RONALD PERKINS ORTHODONTICS. Also, I had to pay for X-rays I could not use. 

If you have had and experience like mine, or worse (like some of the reviews on here of really bad dental work and unnecessary procedures) I recommend going to the Better Business Bureau website and filing a complaint like i did but he is SLEAZY and somehow had the complaint removed.  I heard the BBB allows business owners to BUY there REVIEWS and pay to look better.  That is why i am on this website now.

No matter what you do, DO NOT GO TO THIS SCAM ARTIST HORRIBLE DENTIST.
