Just came from Mehta Ashok DDS in Los Alamitos after recieving a quote over the phone of $75 to re-cement a crown which had come loose. After filling out the paperwork , I was ushered into a room for X-rays,then into another room for an abreiviated exam(about 10 min. total) I explained that I am currently unemployed & I just wanted my crown glued back in-the Dr.said he would be right back. As soon as he left a woman appeared with a $225 bill ( mind you I am still in the dentist chair)! I stated what I was quoted over the phone (she stated she had no knowledge of this)! I asked how much she thought I owed up to that point and she said $120! Wow! I pulled out my wallet which contained $121 and through blurred vision , handed her 5 twentys- she stated "thats only $100 ! I gave her my last twenty dollar bill, picked up my crown and got out of there as quickly as I could as I was not about to trust them with my credit card information ! In all my 54 years I have never been treated in such an unprofessional and uncaring manner. I could not in good conscience recomend this business to anyone-I would not let them work on my cat!

an expensive crown (which I had been talked into by Dr Mehta) and then decided to have the cheaper crown fixed for $271 (rate as told by him). Since I had already paid $396 (charges for expensive crown) I asked for a refund of the balance - WHICH I NEVER GOT ! ...
