I have been going here from past 3-4 years. They do good treatments.
However, they also want to use all your insurance money.
This was my situation - My insurance cycle is from June 1 to May 31.
Dentist wanted me to have deep cleaning since there "might" be lots of bacteria inside the gums and I might get Alzheimer's, if I don't it immediately. And, the cost of this treatment is around $2000.
I told them that I can wait until next year May, if nothing major happens to my teeth (like accident or cavity or root canal etc), I will use my insurance money for deep cleaning.
But, they argued so much to get it done immediately and I should be paranoid to think that something bad might happen to my teeth.
My only concern was if I use all my insurance money on deep cleaning, then later if something happens to my teeth, I won't have any money from my insurance.
They weren't understanding this. The same happened to my friend who did the deep cleaning and now he is praying nothing happens to his teeth until his insurance cycle starts.

One more situation is - They billed me wrong, i.e., claimed under false insurance treatment. I did basic cleaning with them (I did not ask for the doctor examining me), but he examined and advised (advertised) for deep cleaning. To cover the doctor's examination they billed me wrong - under different claim category.
I got to know about this because I was paid less by my insurance since I have used all of the insurance on something which I did not do. This happens all the time. If you do cleaning with them, check for proper claim name.

If you are in notice period in your company, do not tell them. They will want to use all the remaining dental money from your insurance.
