Donald C Goeckel, DDS

I found this office to have surprisingly high prices on dental services. When I said I had to check into the cost at some other places because their costs sounded very steep I felt like they were trying to bully me into getting my dental work done there by telling me no one else in the area could do it and that no one would take my dental insurance even though it’s through a major insurance carrier. When I mentioned that I’d like my x-​rays and the other things that they had done before telling me they didn’t participate with my insurance the lady was quite snippy about it and said if the other dentist had to have them then they’d make a copy. My one x-​ray and less than five minutes in the chair of nothing more than taking a look in my mouth and asking a few questionswound up costing over $ 300. The lone x-​ray only costed $ 25, so the 3 – 4 minutes I spent with the dentist was apparently at roughly $ 100 a minute. Not what I expected.
I declined their services I did find another dentist which a friend recommended after doing two of the same procedures for her, and the same service is now going to cost me around $ 600 instead of $ 2000 after insurance. The cost at the dentist I will be going to is also about ¹⁄₃ of the total cost without insurance as it would have been at this office.
