In 2002 my family started using Dental Care Center for our dental needs because it was one of the providers under our new PPO. We were assigned to Dr Burnett, and immediately the red flags started going up! I have never had a single cavity in all my life, and yet the moment I sat down for a routine cleanign, he tells me I need 2 root canals (which we found out, by a corrective endodondist, were absolutely not needed). My husband, over the next 5 years, had 27 procedures, costing us $17,000 out of pocket (not covered by insurance) and he is now being forced to have all the teeth in his upper jaw pulled and dentures installed. The corrective endodontist has told us that ALL his dental work was done incorrectly and there is no option other than complete removal at this point. The last time we visited Dental care Center it was for yet ANOTHER root canal (at $800 a piece) after which he did not return, but went to a corrective dental center instead. We had a $400 balance, seeing as we did not return for the fitting of the crown (half is paid up front, half after the crown is set) so Dental Care Center SUES US! We never had the work finished, it was unnecessary to begin with, and now they want to sue us for $400 and we have paid them over 17 grand and will have to pay ANOTHER $4,000 for the removal/denture plate. (By the way my hubby is only 31 years old!) Our endodontist has abgreed to come speak in court on our behalf, but DO NOT use DENTAL CARE CENTER or DOCTOR BURNETT!!!
