Cynthia Yingst, DDS - Grove Dental Associates

Jun 2024

I have been going to Grove for 15-20 years. My teeth are in good shape. No issues. RECENTLY HOWEVER, This office keeps upping their prices for worst service. I didn't have insurance until this past February, but they make sure their prices for a cleaning far exceeded the amount covered. When I left my appointment I was told I had nothing due. I received a bill once they found out I had made an appointment with another dentist for a consultation. The dentist doesn't do anything now, but check your teeth after cleaning. Everything else is pushed to the oral surgeon. The consult with this doctor usually 300-500 dollars. That doesn't include any work to be done. My dentist used to be wonderful, but he changed. He doesn't take the care that he used to. I DO NOT RECOMMEND GROVE DENTAL.

Today I recieved a letter from Grove Dental in Wheaton stating from Dr Andrew Matta that my children were no longer welcome at Grove. Mind you we have Ben patients there for 12 years. Their reasoning per Sherry the office manager at the Wheaton location is because no payment has been made on my daughters braces since 2022, in which I have a contract with them and they are suppose to charge my card monthly but THEY have not. once I brought up "why is that my fault", then I was told that because we did not have a procedure done by an oral surgeon that is another reason we were let go. it was a suggested procedure, I was not aware that we were being forced to have something done that we did not see that it was imperative to have done. So, they let both my kids go from the practice who already had their braces done with them, they've already been paid from insurance, they have been taking monthly payments on a cc for one child, but not the other. We also were NEVER told or NEVER asked for any type of payment for the last year and we are there every 6 weeks. So never being asked for any payment for over a year or sent any type of letter and they just decide to say find a new orthodontist . Unbelievable!
