They cannot tactfully seem to handle payment arrangements and make no attempt to work out a plan. I was told it would be $130 to $150 and since my dentist said it should be straightforward and simple extraction I thought it would be the lesser amount. Without even seeing the doctor the receptionist told me it would be $150. they knew I had no dental insurance. So since they knew which tooth it was when the appt was made by my dentist and had the xray showing that it would be a simple extraction somehow the receptionist made the decision it would be $150. I asked if I could pay $100 and the remainder later. I was told flatly "no". and it was very embarrassing. How is it that without hearing from the dentist that it would be the higher amount it got decided for the higher amount? I think they never intended to offer it for $130 they just say that to get you there. I'm on a very limited income and they have no empathy and give misleading information. They didn't say "sorry we ha
