The Crispins run a school for teaching dentists cosmetic dentistry. Their offices, equipment and on-site laboratory are state of the art and spotless. Very impressive.
My interview and examination with Dr. Kristi Crispin was very personal, professional and I felt 100% satisfied and confident in her abilities to do what I wanted done.
I went through a multivisit procedure to be able to participate in their discount program as a patient for their students. This amounted to approximately $16,000 to $20,000 worth of veneers, bridgework and general dentistry for less than $9,000, but work being done by a dentist learning to do this work under the immediate supervision and guidance of Drs Crispin(2), Kristi and Bruce.
I PAID FOR X-RAYS, MOUTH MOLDS AND DENTAL PLANNING EXAMINATIONS AND APPOINTMENTS.
I was in the very final stage of getting ready to be assigned a dentist when I had multiple major run-ins over the phone with the clinic's financial services ""director"" who seemed to believe I did not have the money for the work.
WORSE, he chased me around via phone calls trying to get me to sign a ridiculous document waiving all my rights to complain about whatever they might do to me if I began the program.
I HAVE HIS E-MAILS TO PROVE THIS.
I don't think the Crispins know about this ass on their otherwise impeccable staff, but someone should tell them. I GUESS I AM DOING THAT HERE AND NOW.
END RESULT: I dropped out, kept my money and plan to get my dental work done in Latin America... because of THIS JERK.
I give the Crispins Esthetic Professionals Clinic 5 stars...
But this one employee cost them MY business AND a star here.
I don't know how many other patients have walked away because of the lousy attitude of this guy.
He seemed to especially dislike my being an older woman. He was obnoxious: They shouldn't let him talk to people.
Pros: Approx 40-50% Discounts for Cosmetic Dentistry
Cons: Their financial guy is an IDIOT
