This place is a scam. It's website states, "Our staff will also gladly complete a complementary benefits check and coverage estimate for the treatment you need ." However, when you require them to check your insurance coverage, they will fail to inform you of their network (in network/out of network) designation per your insurance plan. Ultimately, whether they are an in network or out of network provider, they will inform you that your insurance is valid and eligible for coverage, surely allaying your concerns that you will be hit with a big bill. As anyone with any knowledge of healthcare insurance knows, in network coverage and out of network coverage are two completely different things; out of network deductibles can be 2x higher than in network, co-pays are nonexistent on out of network, etc - out of network coverage is typically only used in times of an emergency when in network is unavailable or impractical. TLC advertises as if they will act as a liaison between you and insurance, but in reality they act against you. In my experience I was told my insurance was "valid and eligible for coverage" when I conducted my due diligence beforehand. I went to my appointment for the following: typical check-up items (cleaning/x-rays), to have a potential cavity diagnosed and treated with filling, and to get a quote on getting veneers. The cleaning was performed and x-rays taken, and I was quoted for the filling and veneers. They told me they could do the fillings that day, but asked me if I'd like to pay for the check-up items (something that usually corresponds with a $10-$30 co-pay or a smaller amount of money) first upon which I was hit with a $255 bill to have my teeth brushed and pictured. Alas, I was informed they are an out of network provider. The quotes I received for the fillings and veneers had a signature line for me, the patient, to sign to ensure I agree with the charges before the services were rendered; for some reason, I was not afforded this luxury for the cleaning and x-rays - maybe because the cost was small enough for some to not care and just pay and be done with. The fabrication they advertise on their website of checking your benefits is just that: a lie. And why would would it be truthful? Insurance companies work out discounted rates and use other negotiating tactics including the use of actuarial mathematics that result in them paying less in their transactions with healthcare providers than what an individual would. This creates moral hazard for the healthcare provider, where if they can dupe the customer, they can make more money. Nevertheless, I have forwarded these concerns to the WV Better Business Bureau and will be avoiding this place and its ilk in the future, as should you.
My daughter was embarrassed by deposits on her front teeth. Kids often ask her if she brushed her teeth and picked on her. She brushes really good but these were sort of birth defects on her teeth.She is also scared of needles. Dr. Martino talked to her on what he was going to do and let her decide if she wanted to do it. She said yes. When it came time to numb her Dr. Martino used everything to calm her down and he was able to numb her in 2 places without a major melt down. She 11 and that has never happened. He did the work he needed to on her teeth and she actually enjoyed it. At the end he showed her the before picture and then handed her a mirror! My child is finally smiling big with the most beautiful teeth. She is happy and so am I. If you have a child needing treatment for this or anything else go see Dr. Martino, he really cares about his patients and takes pride in his work! Dr. Martino you have a patient for life in my daughter! Thank you for giving her the smile she always wanted!
Very friendly and helpful staff. Looking forward to my next dental appointment.
Everyone was so friendly and helpful! The red head front desk girl was so helpful with setting me up on a super affordable payment plan. 10/10 will come back for my next cleaning!
I went in for 2 root canals. All I've heard about them is that they're very painful. But I had them both done and didn't feel a thing. Best dentist visit ever. They worked with my schedule and they were very nice and thoughtful. Definitely recommend TLC dental
