This place is a deplorable excuse for a dentistry practice. I have been going there for over 20 years, and since the Smilest took over the practice, the trajectory downward to atrocious care has been steady. It is sad to have witnessed this. When my partial plate broke it was less than 2 years old. I called expecting help with the repair and got nowhere. Dr. Balis examined the partial and accused me of putting super glue on it.

Meanwhile we had discussed treatment plans prior to my procedure. I feel that I have to post this now after three years because I felt like I wanted to bitch slap... read full review
