never again

by il35

Another orthodontist told me that Dr. Schleimer treatment plan includes expensive options that I most likely not need. I requested a second appointment with Dr Schleimer; and a member of his staff called me just 5 minutes before the appointment, when I was already driving to the appointment, to tell me that the doctor can't see me unless I make additional x-rays at their lab (costs only 300 bucks). No one told me about additional X-rays when I made the appointment, instead I get a call 5 minutes before. Rude and unprofessional! So, the doc *can* suggest that I have two implants and a surgery on top of his service, expecting $6000+ for his service at first appointment, but he can't talk to me for the second time unless I pay him $300 upfront. Absurd!

• Pros: nice location
• Cons: expensive treatment, unprofessional staff
