      Complaint Type:
      Product Issues
      Status:
      Resolved
      My partner went to Gentle Dental in West ******* (they are insured through my insurance) in September/October 2023. After having several hundred dollars of work done, I received a check from my insurance (Delta Dental) for $177.60 as a reimbursement for overpayment. I deposited the check and then it was canceled by Delta Dental. When I call Delta Dental they indicated the provider (Gentle Dental West *******) had taken the money and that I needed to contact them to receive reimbursement. I called Gentle Dental in November 2023 and talked to the front desk person who looked up my account and noted that they had deposited the reimbursement and would be sending me a check in the the next 4-6 weeks for the $177.60. I have not heard from Gentle Dental or received a check since then. I have tried to call the office multiple times and only get a voicemail and never receive a call back. March 20, 2024 I went by the office and it was locked and it appeared to have been emptied inside. I called the corporate office who seemed to have no idea that the office was closed down and said they would call me in the next 48 hours to file a grievance for the missing reimbursement. At this time I have not heard back from Gentle Dental West ******* or Gentle Dental corportate.

      What is the culture being permeated at the Gentle Dental office located at *********************************************************************? The question is being asked based on my interactions with the dentist on October *****, 2022. The dentist attempted to file down my bridge without my permission because the lab did not make it properly.Fast forward to February 27, 2024. I was extremely disappointed when the licensed oral health professional (hygienist), did not thoroughly clean my teeth. During previous visits, the hygienist cleaned my teeth with the motivation to render exceptional care. A female assistant entered the exam room to record the numbers regarding the thickness of my gums. The hygienist said the numbers very rapidly and I never heard the clickety-click of the keyboard keys. The hygienist did not polish my teeth nor did she floss my gums. The dentist never entered the room during my visit to examine my tongue for oral cancer /abnormalities or discuss the results of my cleaning. I was told I had a credit, however, I was charged at the end of the visit. I should not have been charged because my dental insurance covered the visit. I have requested the credit in the form of a check. I was told by the business manager that she would contact the corporate office. As of this writing, I have not heard from anyone in that office regarding my refund. I will not be returning to this office.
