Needed to get my tooth pulled. It had been bothering me for awhile so I scheduled a day off and began calling Dentists. Since I do not have insurance I was left shopping for the most affordable means. After calling three local offices I stumbled across Dr. Fuchs located in Sears at Eastgate Mall. When the woman who answered my call quoted me the price for a "simple extraction" I was shocked at how much less they charged than others. "Are you sure that's it?" I asked. "How are you so much less?" "Not sure," the woman replied. Ok then, I booked the appointment for 2:30pm the next day and arrived ten minutes ahead of schedule. Upon arriving I was greeted with a clip board and an empty seat. So I went ahead and filled out the sign-in and sat down. One full hour later a woman finally appeared, only to call on three other patients before getting to me. As I entered the office the woman behind the counter turned to me and said - this is a direct quote, "I'm not sure what you were told, but we start at $106.00 and the extraction is $150.00." Immediately I knew I'd been had. While the other Dentists had quoted me their true price, Dr. Fuchs office had lured me in with a "too good to be true" price only to be told the real price after waiting for over an hour. How lame Dr. Fuchs! Needless to say I thanked them for nothing and walked out. Hopefully this review will save someone else the time and trouble. Shame on you Dr. Fuchs. My tooth is killing me and now I have to wait until my next day off to do anything about it.
