Could This Be Considered Slander?
Tag might not be correct but it seemed to fit since its about a review on a business. Location: Oklahoma
Hello I recently had a bad experience at a dentist and Ive been nervouse to post a public review in fear of the dentist possibly trying to sue me for slander. To preface everything in the review is 100% true, I dont know anyone that works there or anyome that has had work done there. I have absolutely no reason to lie. Normally I don't have a problem leaving bad reviews for places that provide a bad or sketchy service. But something about this place has kinda just got me feeling nervous about it, especially because they have good reviews other than mine.
Here is the full review:
Full story below, short version here: After mentioning a long absence from visiting the dentist I was prescribed thousands of dollars of dental work at this location, which upon getting a second opinion from another dentist. I learned that I only needed 1 cavity filled and had a few problem areas to watch. GET A SECOND OPINION
Full story: I hadn't been to a dentist in about a decade and decided to come into (insert dentist name) as it had good reviews. First cleaning and exam went good, and the office staff were friendly. But they prescribed me thousands of dollars worth of work on my first visit. They wanted to fill 5 different cavities and crown 6 of my molars, stating that they were decayed and couldn't be saved. I told them I couldn't afford it and moved on to get another cleaning in a few months.
Fast forward, I get my second cleaning and exam, same deal. Except this time the nurse straight up tries guilt tripping me to schedule my appointments and start getting work done or I was "gonna start losing teeth before we can fix them". Even after explaining to her that is just wasn't in my bidget right now, she continued pushing for several minutes giving me concerned and stern looks before finally dropping it acting all disgruntled and scheduling my next cleaning.
Now that made me feel kinda yucky and sketchy of this place, not to mention they chipped or did some other minor damage during the cleaning to one of my teeth that caused pain and sensitivity for 2 weeks. I cant say FOR SURE it was them, but it wasnt hurting or sensitivite at all before my visit. And after, even sucking in air through my mouth set off the tooth.
Anyway I decide Im not going back to this place and go to another dentist to get a second opinion. Got checked out and cleaned, and wouldn't you know it. 4 areas they want to keep an eye on and ONE cavity that needed to be filled, gums are healthy, no crowns or decayed teeth to report other than my wisdom teeth (which I already knew were bad before seeing either dentist) in fact the dentist was shocked after I told them what this place wanted to do to me and couldn't fathom how they could've come to the conclusion to crown 6 teeth. (Other than money of course)
To finish, I truly feel like this place tried to take advantage of my long absence from the dental chair and pressure me into getting unnecessary, and expensive dental procedures. Id just steer clear and go somewhere else. I was nervous to write this review at first but I feel like it's my responsibility to inform possibly more vulnerable people of what they might experience here. I have no malice towards this place or any reason to lie about my experience.
I was just smart enough to get a second opinion, but some people dont think or even KNOW that thats an option. ALWAYS GET A SECOND OPINION.
