I called this dental office and told them that I just wanted my tooth pulled because I couldn't afford anything else. The girl on the phone said that wouldn't be a problem and they take my dental insurance. When I got there, they insisted on taking xrays, then the dentist came in and said that he could save the tooth. He said I had two adjoining teeth that needed root canals and crowns. I asked him if he would be able to start the root canals that day so I wouldn't be in pain anymore. He said that he would. I asked how much that would be and he left. I waited about 45 minutes for some girl who came in and told me that it would be about $1800 to save both teeth but the dentist wanted tto do a bridge that would be about $5700. I immediately said that I just wanted the one tooth extracted and asked how much that would be. It was going to be $159. She left. I waited about another half hour and another girl came in and told me the doctor was too busy to do the extraction today. I told them that this is the reason that they get such bad reviews and walked out of the office. How could the dentist, Dr. Sudimake, have time to do a root canal but not an extraction. He chased me out into the parking lot and offered me pain killer and antibiotic. I said no. The next morning I called Chad Byler's office in Bastrop, Tx. It is behind Home Depot. The receptionist was wonderful. I explained what happened at Castle and they took a couple of xrays and pulled my tooth out for $109. All of the staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and quick. I am recommending Chad Byler to all my friends and family.
