Service and prices
Set up appointment 4/12; Jessica told me to be there early to fill out paperwork. Appt 9:00a.m. 4/14; was there at 8:50; no receptionest or any one, signed in, took clip board to fill out paperwork, 9:20 finally went to person there asking what I was waiting for. Said paperwork, and I gave it to her completed. She said she had to set up my file. Three women in area talking about personal things, not customers. Associate came out took me in for x-rays (did not want, wanted denture repaired) but had to do it. Then to dentist who went on to say my denture was old, needed replacing. Told him wanted this denture repaired, it is perfect except for broken tooth; stated $100-$300. Sent me out putting my denture in my hand to the waiting room. I was called in for quote of $130. I walked out with my denture in hand, and they could have cared less. My private dentist never charged over $75. YOU WONDER WHY THE UNITED STATES IS IN TROUBLE ECONOMICALLY. THIS IS AN EXAMPLE, "DO NOT CARE ABOUT THE CUSTOMER", NO CUSTOMER SERVICE, AND ALL THEY ARE LOOKING FOR IS $$$$$. AMERICA IS IN TROUBLE.

aftercare
I had a tooth extracted on a Thursday. Top wisdom tooth, I noticed it was getting infected on Saturday night and called Aspen dental emergency number Sunday morning. I spoke to the answering service and a dentist was supposed to call me back but didn't. I called back again and they had the wrong information, the dentist finally called back and seemed to be irritated by my request for an anti-biotic. By this time I could feel sharp pieces starting to stick out of my swollen gums and a nasty taste and smell. I called the dentist back tuesday to ask them if it was normal that I was pulling little chunks of tooth out of my infected gums. He told me I needed to let the anti-biotic have more time to work and that he had showed me the whole tooth he had pulled out. I asked about the pieces that were sticking out of the gums and he again said the tooth came out whole. I said I was in a lot of pain and was there anything else I could do to stop the smell and nasty taste, he said he had already given me pain medication and wasn't going to give me more. I WAS NOT ASKING ABOUT PAIN MEDICATION, Is that what he thought I was calling for?? It really seemed that way, I am so sick of these doctors that constantly think people are looking for pain medication. Check my file pal, I already have pain medication prescribed to me! Or maybe he was mad that he told me I needed a root canal and I told him NO, just pull it. It was the very back tooth on top, why would I need a root canal. Ohh, because you make money when I get that done, and get nothing for an extaction. It's still infected but feels better since I pulled 3 little chunks of tooth from the area. I will never go to Aspen dental again!!!

Too expencive
From the moment I walked through the door I knew there was a problem. First I stood there 15 minutes while an employee discussed/with her back to me/with another patient her financial agreement.
Should have walked out.
Then I have my xrays and exam and the dentist tells me I need a 300.00 cleaning and extensive and very expensive cosmetic work not that she ever mentions the sum. To much of a doctor to talk money let the peasants do that while she just sneaks up behind you and steals it out of your pocket. I tell her I just had my teeth cleaned 6 months ago but she insisted and talked about how happy it would make HER to see my smile brightened. Yea I'll bet that $6000 would have made HER real happy.
Didn't fall for their "used car" salesmanship b.s and skeedaddled out of there. And am glad I walked away.
I am only posting because this woman who's video was linked here has asked that people quit posting that it could be harmful to this dentist to keep posting. Ok some of the words used are ugly but dental work is scary for some people the dentist office is not the place you want to spend your day and then to bump into this kind of dentist makes it worse.
My recommendation is to find a dentist with an established practice and his name on the door. Talk to you neighbors if you're new in the area and find someone you can trust.
Don't go to someone just because you have a COUPON!!

shady company
I would not recommend anyone to be affiliate with the office OR any aspen office. The Dr. and the manager don’t care about the patients it’s all about money with these people. Be aware the Dr Lee will offer you things that you don’t need just so he can make his monthly budget. They make the patients wait for hours in the waiting room because they over book patients for MONEY. AND NEVER get particles or denture from aspen as they will never fit right because there are to many cases for one to be done correctly. Also watch the treatment plan they give you, as it will included treatment for your teeth that wasn’t explain to you or something extra to increase your balance. It’s very sad that the company allows for this to happen and they all work together so the head of the company knows about the shadiness CUZ HE CREATED IT !!!

Pulled wrong tooth & wants me to pay
I earlier posted that I had gone to Afdent, when it was ASPEN Dental in Goshen near Meijers.
I called and made an appt to have a tooth pulled. Specifically told them which tooth. The day of the appt the dentist asked and once again I told him the last tooth on the bottom right side.
Here is my warning...MAKE SURE YOU HIGHLIGHT/PUT A STICKY NOTE ON THE TOOTH YOU WANT PULLED as these guys can't follow verbal instructions. Also...make sure you speak up if you are not all the way numb.
As I left the office in obvious pain they had the nerve to ask me to pay for the tooth they pulled in error. After a few choice words they went back and spoke to the dentist who said no charge. Once again they are not good at verbal instructions as I just received a bill.

wrong Billing and pathetic service
My wife had a treatment done at Aspen dental, woburn and it was awful experience. They did not do the procudure covered by insurance but did something which was not covered. Initailly, they made me sign some document but i had clearly told them to let me know if things are not covered but they are asking me to pay few more hundred dollars after 6 months. Everytime the treatment was done by different dentist !!. and the claim was always in name of "THOMPSON M " - not sure if that is legal .
Also, on every visit they try to sell you atleast one of the things -toothpaste, mouthwash, toothbrush ( of ROTADENTA !!...for some $140 + ...same thign will be avlb in any walmart for $6...and u get the whole set of ORAL-b for $60..wonder if anythign can be better than oral-b).
Overall, very bad experience in woburn center...it is a chaos...and billing department is just try to pull out money...not seen in any dental ofice.
Still trying to settle bill but not sure what are the options i have .
people, any option u suggest ?

Over Charging
We have just received a bill from Aspen Dental for $1402.00 for services that were already paid for through Care Credit months ago. The office manager is now trying to tell my husband that these partials were not covered under the $2766.00 that was put on Care Credit. However both of us distinctively heard the office manager tell us in that initial office visit they were covered under that $2766.00, this was also confirmed to my husband a couple months ago when they called to set up the appointment to have these partials made and he was told by the person at Aspen that yes they were already paid for. So now they say no that they were not, we don't have the funds to pay this $1402.00 bill. These people, we have come to find out are Wolves in Sheeps clothing. We will never use any of their facilities again, we will live in pain until we can find a dentist office with ETHICS to help us instead of ever utilizing Aspen Dental or any other chain Dental office.

Rip Off and False Diagnosis
I visited the Mishawaka, IN location of Aspen Dental because it was the only place that gave me a 'discount' on my dental plan. After a 2 hour HORRIBLE and painful experience getting xrays and the free 'examination', I was told I had 8 cavities and periodontal disease. I have never had a cavity or any dental issues. The final bill for recommended treatment after the 'discount' was going to be $3, 500!! I walked out and visited a real dentist. After xrays, cleaning, and exam, I was told I had ZERO cavities and my gums were fine - no periodontal disease or gingivitis. Aspen Dental is a COMPLETE RIP OFF and SCAM!!! After asking around and sharing my story I have heard of numerous people with the same experience!

Service and Fraud
I made an appointment as a new patient for my 6 month check-up. We just moved into the Reading area and Aspen Dental accepted our insurance. I sat in the waiting room (the office staff was very friendly) for 20 minutes. Was given a full set up x-rays and then taken to an exam room where I sat for an additional 25 minutes. The dentist came back, looked at my teeth and then told me I needed to see the office manager to set up an appointment for a cleaning. I was shocked! Why else had I just gone to the dentist??? Now, my insurance will be billed for an office visit that is not even legitimate and I must take off another day of work to see a legitmate dentist. She also informed me I had a cavity and upon a 2nd consult, this was not true.

Poor Service, Bad Business Practice
Avoid Aspen Dental at all cost!! They over-charge customers for service and do not respond to complaints. They lure customers in with their slick ads which promise to give you your smile back. But the reality is quite a different matter. They give you this estimate that any auto-body repair shop would blush at. Then they over-charge for services, billing even if the service isn't provided. When you complain, they just ignore it. Customer satisfaction is not their ultimate priority. They are just a money-generating machine. Customers are cattle to them. The locations are dirty and un-kempt. The waiting rooms look ok, but the actual dental room is dirty. Do not spend your hard-earned money with these guys. You are better off finding a local dental office that will stand by their work and not over-charge for their services. Avoid anything to do with these scammers.
