2 /5 Nafije Durmishi: Mixed experience – good staff, but refund issues and hidden network details.
On 12/7/24, I visited ASAP Total Dental Care in severe pain. After an estimate of over $1,200 for four wisdom teeth, I decided to address just the one causing the most pain. To schedule the extraction for 12/10/24, I was required to pay a $314.25 "deposit" the same day.
Later that day (not even 2 hours later), I called my insurance and found out they were not in my network. While the estimate they gave me did include small print mentioning this possibility, it wasn’t communicated to me directly that I needed to verify it myself. I immediately canceled the appointment and requested a refund. The manager informed me that refunds are processed only once a month, which felt unreasonable given how quickly I acted. The refund was finally processed on 12/28/24. While I appreciate eventually getting my money back, waiting weeks for a refund is excessive.
I also requested the X-rays they took (covered by my insurance) for my new, in-network dentist. Despite several emails and a voicemail, I never received them and had to get new X-rays taken.
On the positive side, the office is clean, and the staff—including the front desk team, hygienists, and dentist—are kind and professional in person. Unfortunately, the lack of upfront communication about insurance and poor handling of refunds and record requests detracts from the overall experience.
If you go here, be sure to verify for yourself whether they’re in-network. They won’t tell you directly, but it’s in the fine print.
