The last time I had gone to Brident, I waited for an hour past my appointment because there weren't enough doctors. This time though there was only a 15 minute wait. But, after the x-rays, the dentist looked at me and declared that I needed 8 fillings, and best of all, it would only take 40-60 minutes and they could do it right then. Some quick math later, I realized that was SEVEN minutes per filling. Either this guy was super skilled, did shoddy work, or the cavities so small that they required no anesthesia.\r

I decided to come in next week. They then proceeded to pressure me to sign a contract to cover the payments. Warning bells are going off in my head. They quickly led to me to payment window without receiving a cleaning or fluoride treatment and took my money for services rendered. As I left, I noticed 15 people waiting for their appointments in the waiting room; I wondered how the heck they could find the time for 8 fillings with so many people waiting.\r

The best part: a week later they submitted a claim for services they had not performed. Yes, that's right, they wanted to be paid for the cleaning and fluoride treatment they did not perform.\r

I will be finding another dentist FAST! This was one shady experience.
