I came to 6 Day when a dentist I had heard of started to work there. I called to make an appointment with him and check to make sure that my insurance was accepted. I was assured that they accepted my insurance and I made an appointment.
I meet the dentist on the first visit and liked him. He diagnosed my problem as a wisdom tooth that needed to be pulled and a cracked tooth that would need a root canal and crown. The tooth was pulled at that time and the root canal prep was scheduled for two weeks later, January '08, to get them on the next years insurance cycle.
When I arrived for the root canal prep, the original dentist, with whom the appointment was made, was not there.in walked another dentist. I questioned the fact that I thought I was booking with the dentist and was told that I was booking with the office. I was there and ready so I went forward. No Money was requested or offered. I won't go through the problems I had with the temp crown. When I finally got the call that the crown was ready, I got the same hard core money push that others have reported on this site. The price seemed far too high for the services rendered. Not exactly the price I had discused with the clerk. Everything was spoken about in terms of "when we see what the Ins. Pays." My insurance pays 1/2 and I pay 1/2 as a rule. I asked more than once what the standard was for this care. I never got a straight answer. I now know why.
Six Day Dental is not a provider approved by my insurance. They Lied the first time I spoke with them. Based on the 1/2 and 1/2 rule, I over paid by more than $200. I am curently waiting for a final accounting from my insurance company to go back to Six Day for a refund.
Don't get involved with these people. You don't know what you will get.
