Re: I honestly just had the most traumatic experience. I need to vent....

You reeeeeeeally earned your mommy medal today, sooo sorry about your car and all the other CRAP that went down. Don't set FOOT (or tooth Chat Icon) back in that office, find a new one ASAP.
I must admit once I read that they'll charge $550 for a missed appt. I would've been taking my gums and fillings somewhere else!!! That is the most insane thing I've ever heard and is NOT standard practice; who runs their operation, Tony Soprano Chat Icon ???
Feel better, glad the hubs came around too!!!

Ok, about the $550, I'm so glad I'm not the only one who thinks that's insane. My husband, on the other hand, was like, well, that's the deal oh well! And if you're late, for every half hour you're late, they charge you $75. I mean, I get it that there are people out there that screw them over, but I freaking called and was EIGHT minutes late! EIGHT MINUTES!
Had I been the one to be with Ava for the first visit adn had I seen that policy, I would have walked out. No, instead it was my husband who was there and signed the paper and was FREAKING out on the side of the road today that we HAD to get there on timeChat Icon

Rachel, Think long term...If you continue with this office can you abide by these rules? I couldnt and I wouldnt want to be rushed into feeling like I MUST get there NOW!!!! I mean you are going to have 2 soon. Whats the chances that you may not be late again in the future for whatever reason. Those rules are terrible ...plain and simple. I would start looking elsewhere even if you do go back to finish this one time visit.

Re: I honestly just had the most traumatic experience. I need to vent....

first of all, i hope you're ok!!

2nd, SHAME ON THEM for the way they treated you. 30 weeks pregnant is obviously pregnant. Thats terrible that you were treated that way.

and really, i feel bad your husband even suggested you apologize.

I would look into going to a new dentist because they seem awful to begin with.
(did you mean $50 for cancelling..not $550)

Chat Icon to the azzholes that treated you like that! I don't care who they think they are. $550 charge for a missed appointment? Hello-extortion!

I am so sorry you went thru all that. I hope you are physically feeling better soon. How awful to fall, on top of every other humilating treatment and not even have a compassionate helping hand. I would definately get another dentist. They are not god and could use a good lesson in customer service and manners!

Re: I honestly just had the most traumatic experience. I need to vent....

That sounds like a horrific place starting with the $550 cancellation fee. Sh*t happens.... that's unbelievable!!!! And then the story gets worse and worse. I would find a new place, and let them know why!!!

They asked you to leave??? I wouldn't go back there. No way! Sorry that happened.



Holy [email protected] should be kissing your *** making sure you're ok - not just because you injured yourself in their office but because you are pregnant.

What a bunch of azzholes. How does anyone NOT help a pregnant woman having a hard time is beyond me. To ask you to leave is way out of line. If anything, they should have offered you a quiet place to calm everyone down.

I'm glad DH was on board. Some people's first instinct is to apologize - even when the other people are wrong.

I'm glad you're ok. Take it easy today - and you should consider talking to your doctor if you're sore. There are things you can take while pregnant.Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon

Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon It sounds like such a miserable experience...hopefully you guys are having a better day today.

And you bet I'd be sending a letter to the doctor telling him why I left the practice....and I'd find a new one immediately and never step foot in there again!

Wow.

#1 Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon You need tons of those.

#2. I would change dentists... NOW.

I would never EVER step foot back to that place. I'm so tired of these nasty receptionists in these doctors offices. WHO the hell do they think they are?

What bothers me is the fact that NO ONE offered to help you up after you fell. To me that is beyond inconsiderate.


Just wanted to add... I would have cancelled the second my car broke down. Let them bill you. I would have told them to scratch their *** if they think they were getting a dime from you.

Re: I honestly just had the most traumatic experience. I need to vent....

I think I read that with my mouth open wide. I can't imagine a dentist or a hygienist EVER getting away with speaking to me that way. I would have let them have it.

Please find a new dentist, and feel better.Chat Icon
