John P Maroon, DDS

Dr. Maroon cares more about the money than your teeth. He charges the insurance for work he did not do.
And he purposely breaks your teeth so he can fix it and charge the insurance and patient. In 6 Months my husband paid around $ 4,000.00.

Went here a few months ago, wait is horribly long. OVERCHARGED for everything! They also wanted to charge me 500 for a deep cleaning, went to a different dentist and they said my insurance COVERED IT. Only trying to get money out of people. Half of the claim submitted to my insurance by them was wrong they bill for stuff they didn’t do so patient pays out of pocket. Sooner or later they will be in trouble for fraud!

my wife and i had regular cleaning on same day it took over one and a half hours for each of us to get r-​rays and cleaning done. they try ed to get us to pay hundreds more each for more work and we said no. then we got cleaning for less than 3 minuets each. one year before we each paid over $ 1600.00 each for deep cleaning and other work out of our own pocket.

Ive been going to this guy for awhile. Procedures are decent but ALWAYS trying to up sale. Seems like his office is more concerned about getting paid first. Service optional. Currently looking for a different dentist.

Dr. Maroon, re-​did my entire mouth… I came in with crappy yellow and missing teeth… I told him I wanted a white Hollywood smile… for once in my life, I wanted nice white teeth! $ 17, 000 dollars later, my teeth looked great. he was like an artist… the bottom teeth had a little yellow tinge to them, which bothered me quite a bit… he said that was to make them look natural… I didn’t want natural… I wanted WHITE!!! Oh well, they sure looked better than before… the six teeth on the bottom front, he decided instead of crowns, he would do veneers… all the others were crowns… one of the uppers there was too much space between them, and food got caught between them… one on the bottom veneers had some black stuff at the bottom… since that time, the upper with the space, fell out. after just a little time, ALL the veneers fell off, one after the other. Each time I went in, I had to pay Dr. Maroon to ‘re-​glue each tooth… the upper one he wanted to charge me $ 1,500 just to fix it… since that time, I have had to replace several teeth. because they just fell off. Unfortunately, I had to do most of that in TJ because the $ 17,O00 practically wiped me out. I really believe that Dr. Maroon should have stood by his work… I also believe Dr. Maroon is extremely money hungry, but other than that, he can be a great dentist

Maroon is sales, sales, sales. He suggested that I have a crown put on a tooth that had a very old filing. The tooth in question didn’t really bother me prior to this. After several botched attempts at the crown (defective, hole in it, etc.) he suggested I go to Nguyen (Endontist) in Chula Vista) for a root canal. Now I’ve spent over $ 1,000 and all I have is a tooth that still bothers me two years later. Maroon left the tooth/​crown with a hole it where Nguyen did the root canal. I’ve been to several dentists in the past two years and each one «immediately» goes to this tooth because it does not look right; they notice it immediately when they go to do an exam… strange wouldn’t you say? I would never send anyone here or to Nguyen because the pain I suffered following the numerous crowns done by Maroon and root canal done by Nguyen who seemed arrogant and very put out that anyone could possibly question his work when Maroon sent me back to him because the pain was almost unbearable and neither seemed to give a dam. Obviously they did something wrong to cause this much pain and neither fixed the problem so I still need to have the tooth fixed properly.
Neither should be in business as far as I’m concerned.
I would give them a zero but I have to select at least 1.

I would give negative stars if it were possible. BEWARE. You don’t have to be a germaphob to see that place is unsanitary,. When was the last time OSHA checked the place? The instruments are already exposed when you are seated (isn’t it supposed to be bagged and opened in front of the patient to assure it’s sterilized?), operatories are way too small, and I can go on. I’m very observant. Dr is nice, but maybe should do a little renovating in the office. Receptionist and office manager were pretty friendly though, that’s the only positive thing I have to say about it.

I had to find a new dentist after my insurance changed so I went to Dr. Maroon’s office. I will not be back. Right as soon as I walked in, the vibe was «sales sales sales». My teeth «cleaning» was hardly a cleaning at all! It seemed like they just poked around and that was it. I saw the «dentist» for like a full 3 minutes where she proceeded to tell me how much work I needed done. They completely exaggerate everything to make it seem like you need all this work, just trying to get money out of you. They did the same thing with my husband. After our 3 minutes with the dentist (who I didn’t talk to), one of the ladies sat down with me to explain everything I needed. But don’t worry, they can work with you to break things down to make it easier to pay! Wow. It didn’t feel like a dentist at all. Didn’t like the vibe, my husband hated it too. Don’t come here unless you want to pay a lot for crappy service. They also took really long to see my husband and I, even with appointments. One good thing, the receptionist was friendly.

I have only been seeing John Maroon DDS for a couple of months and I have had a favorable experience. I have no complains. The staff is pleasant and knowledgeable and so is the DSS. The areas are clean, organized and well kept. I am pretty happy with the service I have received. I would defenitely recommend this place.

Great at sales. Not that great at teeth stuff. At the time I went here because they were one of the few dentists who would take my insurance.
Now I just go to TJ.

Had my braces done here and I’m pretty satisfied with my smile. Dr. Maroon and his medical team were great.
But beware… this place’s billing policy is shady! Ensure you are on top on every detail you are billed and ask questions! At the end, I feel my teeth were taken hostage because I had a remaining balance so they wouldn’t take off my braces! Crazy. Even more crazy, note that a retainer is not included in ortho costs which I found out at the end. I talked to several other dentist about it and they said it was bizarre to do that. I’ve since moved on to another dentist but bottom line I am content with the smile that Dr. Maroon and his team gave me.

I assure you it was Dr. Maroon. When I called 1−800-dentist months later they informed me that Dr. Maroon is no longer contracted with them and there wasn’t anything they could do.
Trust me, I will never forget that doctor’s name, the office, and the shady billing.
