Nancy Aharon, DDS

CRAZY TOWN dentist!!! Groupon cleaning/​exam was worthless. The polisher was used first for less than 60 seconds (yes, I counted) and the ultrasonic water tool was used next for maybe 2 min if I am being generous. I got 2 bite wings xrays only. There was no scraping off tartar, there was no measurement of gum recession, there was no examining each tooth, there was no flossing, there was no examination of my 2 bridges, she didn’t want to see my bite guard. Instead the dentist was heard before the appointment instructing receptionists to give patients a hard time on the phone if they wanted to cancel or reschedule and there was talk of banning a patient through their insurance somehow. I was asked to fill out forms about sleep apnea. I have had 2 sleep tests and do not have apnea so I said I didnt want to fill out the screening form. Plus, I am there for my teeth, not her «side business». My entire appointment consisted of the dentist going on and on in an obsessive way about sleep apnea and her own self-​diagnosis and lack of trust of professional sleep neurologists. The goal of this talk was to get me to use her diagnostic equipment and send her my past medical reports. It came off crazy-​town and I lost all respect for any professional opinion she may have had (had she presented one) about actual dentistry. You’re supposed to be cleaning my teeth, which I can tell was not done properly just by running my tongue over them — they are still rough. Complete waste of money. Even if the standard rate was as cheap as the Groupon, I would NEVER go back.

After 11 years, the dental «work» you did (unnecessary btw) on my teeth that has basically ruined several of them, with my regular dentist trying to fix what he could. When I went to your practice, I was 8 months pregnant, and you claimed you could fix something that my regular dentist said he could not (and billed my insurance). You didn’t fix it, just exaggerated the problems so much worse. I also remember how you ‘forgot’ about my appointment while I had to sit there in the chair for nearly 2 hours while listening to you on the phone w/​an «important» call has undoubtedly proven to not trust in your practice. You have proven to be a provider of lifetime of pain, disgust and expense. When I mentioned to my regular dentist of over 25 years, he claimed to have never heard of you. I bet he has– but cannot speak negatively of. Valuable lesson learned– stick with a dentist you already know and trust, not her.

Stay Away!
I signed up for the Groupon with this dentist. There was no «cleaning» per se, I simply waited in a chair for two hours while I listened to the dentist arguing with another patient. They did, however, do the x-​rays and instructed me on how to «brush and floss» (thanks, but if no one had ever told me that by the age of 29, I would have had far worse issues). Against my better judgement, I allowed the dentist to fill a few cavities at a future appointment. Worst decision ever! I diligently signed up for dental insurance in the meantime, knowing fillings would be too expensive for me without coverage. The health plan said each filling would cost between 20 – 50 $. I left Dr. Aharon’s office with a bill for over 600 $! I protested, as she had never consulted me on the price, and she offered them for 300 $. She casually stated «oh, the fillings would have been free with your coverage, but I don’t do that kind of filling.» She told me this AFTER she had done the fillings, though! What was I to do? I’m in negotiations with my dental provider, but please, do not let this (or worse) happen to you.

I found a Groupon for cleaning, exam and X-​rays so I decided to give them a try. First impression, the office is very shabby with dirty furniture in the waiting room. I was kept waiting for my appointment over an hour! Once I was in the exam room, it was another 30minutes before anyone came in. This gave me plenty of time to notice the cracked and missing flooring as well as dust and dirt throughout the corners and vents. Not at all an ideal place to be sitting with your mouth open. Two hours into my total wait, I finally saw the dentist. She was pleasant enough it nothing extraordinary. Overall, between the unkept office and the incredibly long wait, I would not recommend.
