    This dentist is a complete fraud. I have good oral hygiene and see a dentist every four months. When my dentist of 30 years retired, I ended up with this crackpot. He proposed so much dental work that it was as if I hadn't seen a dentist in years. He proposed a filling on one of my upper incisors (which he described as minor) and charged my almost $1,000 for filling 9 surfaces. I was in the chair for 2 hours and his process of driving "shims" between my teeth left my neck sore for a week. He should lose his license.

    At Nathanson Dental we pride ourselves in maintaining the highest standard of care possible. We work to ensure that all our staff and doctors are given the most up to date training available in the industry. Our goal with every patient is to provide the best, most comfortable experience and care they've ever had in a dental office. We are successful in achieving this with the overwhelming majority of our patients, as reflected by our reviews both in person and on various online platforms. We invite everyone who reads this review to come visit our office and see for yourself. Thanks and have a great day!

    I do have an additional comment. I recently received a billing from Nathanson Dental of about.$690. Inexplicably, insurance payments were noted to have been received by that office, but no amounts were given. Who does such a thing? We now have asked for a complete accounting of all charges and funds received (whether remitted from an insurer or us) so that we can determine what we owe. By any rational assessment, failing to reflect the amount of insurance payments is a shifty business practice.

    There appears to be a misunderstanding in this situation. Our process with all of our patents with dental benefit plans of this type is that when the claims we submit are processed, payment is sent directly to the patient. We would never receive payment from insurance in this situation and so the statement "insurance payments were noted to have been received by that office" is inaccurate. We work hard to do everything necessary to make sure claims are submitted properly to any dental care insurance provider we work with to ensure that each patient receives the maximum benefit available to them. If individuals are not happy with the payment amount--or if the patient doesn't receive the benefit the company should have sent to them---then the best course of action would be to discuss this with their insurance provider.
