I'm glad to find this forum because I had a RIDICULOUS experience with this All American Smile Center. I had full insurance coverage and chose it just because it was near to home. Not only would I never go back, but I'm ashamed of myself for not just sitting up, getting out of the chair, and leaving at any given point. Finding no cavities or other problems, but seemingly very excited that I had great insurance coverage that would cover full cost, they talked me into the completely unnecessary pulling of wisdom teeth that were presenting absolutely no problems--statedly: (1) just because insurance would pay for it and (2) just in case I might develop cavities on them later in life. (Yes, I was an idiot.) Then, a staff member screamed in my face (Yes, I'm talking about an extremely loud and increasingly-rising vocal volume and leaning her face into my face for emphasis), repeating the same command that I must quit smoking, over and over--yes, and over--again, in a completely-inappropriate, angry-sounding, unquestionably-condescending tone; while I lay in the exam chair and (even more humiliatingly and inappropriately) in front of my 5-year-old child. It was so ridiculously-shaming and brutal, I almost cried (and I was over 30 years old). To add injury to insult and injury, ha ha, I'm still having trouble with one of the extraction sites and it has been several years since I was there. (The owner had to be the same one I'm hearing of on this forum, though. I was immediately struck by the extremely-long, brightly-polished, sculptured fingernails and concerns about both precision and hygiene.) I was an 'easy mark' and a 'pushover.' Please don't put yourself or your children in harm's way, here. By the way, I agree that this All American Smile Center is ALL about money and that the positive reviews here are quite apparently propaganda.
