I
have
never
experienced
such
inefficient,
unknowledgeable,
unprofessional,
and
frankly,
outright
rude
behavior
as
I
have
as
a
patient
of
3
years
with
this
practice.
I
purchased
an
Invisalign
treatment,
and
the
doctor
never
told
me
that
their
orthodontist
is
only
available
ONE
Saturday
per
month.
If
you
have
to
reschedule,
then
you
wait
2
months
to
see
a
doctor.
At
the
end
of
my
2nd
treatment
(the
first
one
failed
to
correct
a
major
turn
in
my
front
tooth),
I
was
told
that
a
permanent
top
retainer
should
be
sufficient.
At
a
cost
of
188€,
I
agreed
that
if
the
orthodontist
recommended
this
would
be
ok
in
lieu
of
a
plastic
retainer,
that
it
sounded
like
a
better
option.
Within
2-3
weeks
I
noticed
my
teeth
shifting
GREATLY!
My
front
tooth
was
turning,
so
I
made
the
first
possible
appointment
with
the
Director,
who
then
exclaimed
that
he
could
do
nothing,
he
only
works
with
traditional
braces
because
Invisalign
is
not
very
effective,
and
I’d
have
to
come
back.
Why
would
the
owner
of
a
business
sell
a
product
that
they
do
not
believe
actually
works?
I
left
feeling
dissatisfied,
and
I
didn’t
realize
at
the
time
that
he
was
the
owner
with
his
flippant,
nonchalant
attitude.
I
made
an
appointment
for
the
ONE
DAY
A
MONTH
the
orthodontist
is
available,
and
was
hospitalized,
so
had
to
wait
2
months.
The
front
desk
was
incredibly
rude
about
my
circumstances
and
constantly
prying
into
my
business.
I
explained
I
have
a
disease
and
had
to
have
emergency
surgery.
The
hostility
and
unprofessionalism
of
the
reception
was
absolutely
ludicrous.
I
finally
got
in
to
see
my
orthodontist
and
the
wire
was
broken
after
3
mo.
(it
should
last
2-3
years),
and
my
teeth
are
again
crooked.
I
need
to
basically
start
my
treatment
over.
I
explained
that
I
would
be
seeking
another
provider,
at
which
time
I
was
told
that
they
had
my
bottom
retainer
(which
I
never
ordered)
and
I
paid
a
total
of
188
euro
for
the
top
and
bottom.
They
said
it
was
included
in
the
package.
If
it
was
“included”
then
why
was
I
told
the
bottom
was
to
be
a
total
of
almost
300€
for
both.
I
was
unhappy
at
the
end
of
the
appointment
and
was
told
I
could
take
the
lower
retainer
with
me
(I
paid
for
it
before)
but
they
then
claimed
I
had
a
90
euro
bill
outstanding.
Mind
you,
at
the
last
appointment,
I
paid
188
euro
for
the
“included”
retainers.
I
told
the
reception
that
must
be
a
mistake
and
that
I
was
not
going
to
pay
this
unknown
bill.
She
refused
to
give
me
my
retainer
and
I
had
to
go
back
and
have
a
discussion
with
the
director
(who
was
the
doctor
who
told
me
he
doesn’t
work
with
Invisalign),
and
was
treated
with
such
disrespect
from
the
moment
I
walked
in
the
door.
The
hostile
reception
was
whispering
about
me,
they
refused
to
give
me
the
information
needed
to
get
in
touch
with
Invisalign,
and
after
I
was
ushered
into
the
director
(late),
he
proceeded
to
open
the
door
so
the
front
reception
could
hear
the
conversation.
I
addressed
my
privacy
concerns
by
law
regarding
my
health
information,
and
requested
the
door
to
remain
closed.
He
then
opened
it
again.
He
began
making
faces
at
me,
cutting
me
off,
raised
his
voice,
defended
his”team”
and
was
absolutely
handling
the
issue
in
a
totally
inappropriate
fashion.
I
asked
him
to
please
not
shout
at
me
or
make
faces,
and
he
said
he
can
make
whatever
faces
he
wants.
I
was
so
insulted,
as
I
remained
calm
and
stuck
to
facts.
After
this
degradation,
he
then
realized
that
there
was,
in
fact,
a
billing
error,
after
he
had
humiliated
me
in
front
of
the
office
and
his
staff.
He
claimed
he
needed
the
door
open
for
his
assistant,
then
for
“fresh
air”,
although
the
previous
patient
had
the
door
closed
the
entire
time.
The
whole
experience
was
demoralizing
and
I
will
seek
further
action
because
I
spent
thousands
of
dollars,
a
lot
of
time,
and
trusted
this
practice.
He
removed
the
incorrect
bill,
which
was
going
to
go
to
the
Incasso
bureau.
He
then
said
“You
can
take
the
bottom
wire;
she
should’ve
given
you
that,
then
this
is
over..”
I
have
a
bracket
and
a
broken
wire
still
in
my
mouth,
which
were
paid
for.
No
apology.
Nothing!
