Dr. Michael Steinmetz Just Smile

My family and I have been to this dentist a few times. Overall, the visits have been okay. We can get an appointment right away (no wonder) and it is close to home. Most recently, I went to this dentist to be dentally cleared for military service. The dentist and I mutually agreed upon what work would need to be completed in order to get his signature on the dental clearance form. After two appointments in the same day, the work we agreed upon was supposed to be completed. Unfortunately, after the work was completed that we agreed upon, the dentist absolutely refused to sign the form until I got thousands of dollars more worth of work completed. I feel as though this dentist took advantage of the fact that I needed the form signed and used it to his advantage in order to get me to agree to thousands of dollars worth of cosmetic dental work that I was not ready to do at this time. Unable to talk well due to being numb from the work, I left without my form signed. I feel that this practice was very deceiving and misleading to me and decided I would no longer be a patient here. I went later the same afternoon to another dentist for a second opinion. She took more x-rays and examined my teeth. She was able to sign my form without hesitation to dentally clear me for continued military service without any additional dental work. Use caution when dealing with something like this and always get a second opinion before committing to thousands of dollars worth of work that may be unnecessary.
