You do have to pay for all services up front. With Delta insurance it's only a copay, but pretty much every other insurance company it seems to be a reimbursement plan, so be prepared for that. The first time I had to use the service for an extraction, the total was just under $200, about $80 of which is just to be seen. Not sure how much these prices change as my second visit was with insurance but it's still far less expensive than other options I've looked in to.
I really cannot stress just how well I have been treated by every person working there. In the case of my second visit, I had absolutely been negligent and put off coming in until the last possible moment. No judgment or lectures, straightforward or otherwise. They explained every step of the exam/procedure and checked in constantly on my comfort. I couldn't have hoped for a better experience, given the amount of pain I was in.
I would give no stars, but it wouldn’t let you. Here is my story, my now 15 year old daughter has been diagnosed with TMJ, she can’t eat, she’s lost 40 pounds and is in constant pain. She was referred here by her family dentist back in September of 2017. I called them to see if they can schedule an appointment for her, they told me the dentist office had to send over a referral. I call the dentist office and tell them. They fax over the referral. I call back to OSU oral surgeon office, no answer, I leave a message with my information. No phon call back. I called again, no answer, left my information, no phone call back. I call again, they answer and they tell me it has to be sent out to another department for approval. ( I hav no clue why because the guy never told me anything other then that.) He tells me, they will call me within a week. I got no phone call. I called yesterday to find out what is going on. I did get an answer and was told they did not receive an approval yet, they don’t know what’s going on and I am to call the department it was sent to for approval. I called, no answer, left a message, NO CALL back!!!! Today, I call again, leave my info and I do get a phone call back, from the other department that is supposed to “approve” for my daughter to be seen. (They haven’t even seen her yet.) The lady informs me, she doesn’t have anything on my daughter and I need to call the oral surgeon office back and make sure they have the right number to fax it to. I understand they are busy, but DOES IT LOOK LIKE I WANT TO SPEND MY WHOLE DAY PLAYING PHONE TAG WITH THESE PEOPLE???? I’ve got to work too!!!! So I do call the oral surgeon’s office back, speak with a rather rude lady who informs me, my daughter was denied treatment, can’t tell me why and that they have a 2 year waiting list. Hahahaha!!! I wouldn’t take my dead dog there after this. And I will NEVER refer anyone there. I even went so far as to call our family dentist and let them know.
Both times I've had to go here, I received absolutely excellent care. The students who have worked with me have always been incredibly kind, understanding, and competent.
1. Consultation
The student was amazing. The faculty were not. I was sent there by my local health department for an emergency extraction. There was infection built up so bad that I was losing vision in my eye. They refused to do the extraction unless I paid up front. No option for payments, no option to bill me later. The student was even dumbfounded that they would not let him pull it.
The price is expensive: about $4000.
3. Design plan
I could have done all at once in China, but here, each process is about a month apart! Yes, it's about a month. My first consultation is a month's ago phone app. I want to choose the most effective treatment, which is metal braces, and keep them on for 2 years. However, the doctor obviously think that they've already ripped you off, and promise me I can have for at most 1.5 years. If I keep them too long, I would have "gum infection". So you're telling me keep it on for 0.5 more years, I will get gum infection? They just don't want to take care of me for that long. I'm still deciding if I want to be their patient. Just look at the reviews here, I know they suck.
Honestly,
The process for getting braces is super long:
It's important to know that if you're going here for emergency, you'll want to arrive as early as humanly possible. There are a limited number of slots and they fill up quick. Showing up 10-20 minutes after registration begins will mean long lines and the potential of not being seen if it's a busy day.
4. Braces
I was there on Friday 10-27-17 this place was extremely terrible I had 8 people in front of me and still ended up waiting over 4 hours. Once I got taken back to the room the lady informs me that the surgical part closes at 1:30 p.m. mind you I didn't get back to the first room until after noon. The lady says she'll see what she can do to get me in there if not I'll have to come back in Monday morning mind you my pain level was on a 10. They finally get me back there to have the tooth taken out and they were so rough the one lady doing it had no clue what she was doing. She ripped part of my gums on my palate. She also stuck gauze down my throat to the point where I was about to throw up because she didn't know what she was doing I will never in my life go back to this place I was there for over 6 hours for one tooth!!!!
