I took my wife to Dr Boudreaux for an extraction on an upper tooth. The dentist let us know that my wife needed a bridge and a crown to fill in the gap (after the extraction). She (the dentist) told me that she would have to "max" my insurance plus I had to pay 1400.00 dollars out-of-pocket. I used my credit card to charge the 1400.00 dollars.
Then, the dentist performed another oral inspection on my wife (???!!!) and let me know that she needed "another 1300.00 dollars" from me before she could start the work because (according to her) my wife needed another crown on the matching bottom tooth. I told her that I was not going to give her more money until I got a second opinion.
A week later, I took my wife to another dentist and he told me that my wife DID NOT need that much work and that he could do the necessary work for much less than what Boudreaux was charging me. I proceeded in calling Boudreaux to set up an appointment to get my money back, but I was unsuccessful. Then, I got a letter from my insurance stating that she claimed 1300.00 dollars of work that was never performed on my wife. I called Boudraux again and I found out that she had "split town". Apparently, she closed down in a week without letting anybody know while ripping off a lot of people. She put a small "ad" on the paper stating that she had gone out of business to take her of her mother.
I did send her 2 letters demanding a refund while letting her know that I had turned her in to the MetLife Fraud Hotline and the Texas Board of Practitioners Enforcement Division, but she never contacted me.
