Dr. Sarah James Palmer

This is a complete fraud... Only 1 week after this full restoration a bridge became loose a crown became loose and another permanent crown fell completely off and the dentist was never willing to fix anything so a peer review complaint was filed but the whole board is friends with Dr Larrissa Bishop the past president of the dental society and the board members just couldn't be unbiased. The SmileMichigan find a dentist tool endorsed there members and advertised that the MDA dentists are dedicated to upholding the highest standard of practice so that you and your family can receive the best oral care. The MDA advertised that they are dedicated to ensuring that Michigan residents receive the highest quality oral health care and How can the MDA allow there member to leave a patient with 8 teeth not touching after a full mouth restoration. This should be illegal and if it's not made right then people should be prosecuted. Coverup after coverup because Dr. Larissa Bishop is the past… president of the West Michigan District Dental Society that decided this case and there is major conflicts of interest with at-least 10 of the board committee members and they are all friends. The Michigan Dental Association is continuing to allow there member Dr. Rebecca Vanderbaan and Dr Larissa Bishop from Grandville Dental Health Center to get away with a backwards placed dental crown tooth #3 completely backwards then made several adjustments until 8 porcelain teeth are not even touching then left him with a backward dental crown until he found out from another dentist 1 year later. The MDA isn't even following their own guidelines and bylaws and should reopen this case because it's not going away as long as this patients teeth aren't touching. The MDA needs to help this patient get 4 crowns remade so his teeth are touching it's really that simple otherwise it's completely false advertising on the Michigan Dental Associations part. The Michigan Dental Association should go back and look at the Suppressed Photo #120 which is the photo that Chris Wilson, RDA, from peer review at the dental association says was weirdly missing from there files and re-open this case so this patient can get his teeth fixed. Stop covering up for the president of the WMDDS West Michigan District Dental Society and do your job. The dental association is not upholding there members to the highest standard of practice so that you and your family can receive the best oral care as they advertise to the public. Dr. Sarah Palmer through a biased clinical exam through the Michigan Dental Association with Dr. Palmer where the doctor from Grandville Dental Health Center that did the work was present. Dr. Sarah Palmer was bribing me with a check to sign a release form to say the doctor did nothing wrong. Who offers a check to someone before the clinical exam even took place. I was no way taking a few thousand dollar check because I wanted to know why me teeth are breaking after a $54,000 full mouth restoration of all porcelain teeth but instead the doctor took a fake exam and didn't take any bite checks or x-rays and failed to diagnose 8 teeth not touching and a backwards dental crown then gives inaccurate information to the dental society to decided my case. Because of this doctor and the two other doctors that gave a fake exam and their failure to be non-biased this patient is unable to get his teeth fixed and was left with a botched dental treatment because Dr. Sarah Palmer doesn't know how to do a thorough examination

I was a new patient at Sarah Palmer dds and was excited to be starting a new dental journey there. First I do not ever write reviews unless there is pertinent reason to. I would like to tell you a few upsetting things that happened just in the two visits I went there for. I was told at my first cleaning (one in which was not completed entirely due to the hygienist not having enough time to complete my cleaning) that I would need to replace old fillings with a new one and a crown. Ones that I had had for most of my life. I was given a quote regarding the replacement of each repair and had decided I would proceed with the first replacement. Upon the end of my first visit I was told that I would have to come back to complete my cleaning since it was not entirely finished. Which after over 30 years of dental cleanings I had never ever been told that. Not one time. As I’m sure most also have not. I returned weeks later for one of the repairs as I was not wanting to do everything at once due… to expense and expectations of making all payments at time of visit. Once they had completed the procedure and I was leaving and paying my bill I was hit with double the amount I was given for that. Then told that they decided to do two repairs because they were on the same side instead of my mouth but never made me aware of this until I was slapped with a large bill and expected to pay at that time. I paid what was originally quoted and eventually had to fight for the amount that was being collected still. As I always pay my dues I did not feel it was fair that 1) my cleaning was billed through my insurance even though it was never completed and it would have been out of pocket had I returned to complete it. (Since insurance only covers soo many) 2) I had only scheduled for one repair and agreed to pay what was presented to me initially. Upon disagreeing to pay the above I was garnished for these expenses and even though they received more than what was owed I have never received the refund, regardless of how large or small. I have since moved on to a new great office and also had to have them repair the crown that this office placed. It was too large and there for never fit appropriately between my teeth. Terrible that I had this experience and terrible of them to not make it right. I have reported them to my insurance in which they billed for this unfinished cleaning etc. good luck to all future patients. BEWARE nothing is ever as it seems.

I have been very pleased with Dr Palmer and her entire staff. She uses cutting edge technology which benefits me greatly. This has also made for an enhance experience for children. Highly recommend!

I Have a fear of the dentist for years. Dr. Palmer is the best dentist I've ever been too. First time too see her she pulled a tooth. She made experience easyI have no pain or discomfort in I'm on 2nd day.AMAZING dentist
