Dr. Gary Allen Wall, DDS

MY WIFE AND I WENT TO THIS CLINIC, DENTISTS OF TUCSON FOR OUR CHECK UP AND CLEANING THAT IS COVERED BY OUR INSURANCE. THEY CHECKED EVERYTHING, XRAY, BLEEDING TEST ETC. THEN THE DOCTOR CAME EXPLAINING I NEED A CROWN OR CAP IN ONE OF MY MOLARS THAT'S WHY I AM HAVING A BLEEDING. THEN THE INSURANCE LADY CAME AND GAVE ME ALL THE BREAKDOWN OF MY PAYMENTS AND TREATMENTS. THEN I ASKED HER, IF I CAN GET MY REGULAR CLEANING FOR NOW INSTEAD OF THE DEEP CLEANING? THEN SHE SAID, "THIS IS WHAT DOCTOR WALL'S RECOMMENDATION YOU NEED DEEP CLEANING" I SAID, I UNDERSTAND THAT BUT I DO NOT HAVE THAT MUCH OF MONEY TO PAY FOR JUST CLEANING BECAUSE I WORK IN THE CITY AND MY WIFE DOESN'T WORK, I BEGGED TO HAVE MY REGULAR CLEANING FOR NOW SINCE IT IS COVERED BY MY INSURANCE. THEN SHE SAID SHE WILL GO TALK TO DR. WALL ABOUT MY REQUEST. THEN SHE CAME BACK AND SAID, "JUST LIKE WHAT I THOUGHT, DOCTOR WALL DOESN'T WANT TO DO IT, BECAUSE YOU WERE DIAGNOSED THAT YOU NEED A DEEP CLEANING AND IF WE DO THE REGULAR… CLEANING, HE WILL LOSE HIS LICENSE AS A DENTIST." THIS IT THE FIRST TIME I HEARD THIS THING. I WAS EVEN ALMOST BEGGING HER TO JUST DO THE REGULAR CLEANING FOR NOW THAT IS COVERED BY MY INSURANCE SO THAT MY TAKING OFF FROM WORK AND GOING TO OUR APPOINTMENT WILL NOT BE WASTED, AND MY WIFE AND I WILL TALK ABOUT THE PROCEDURES THE DOCTOR IS RECOMMENDING FOR US. THEN THE LADY SAID, "WE CAN ALL DO THIS RECOMMENDATIONS OF DOCTOR WALL AND YOU DO NOT NEED TO PAY ALL THE CHARGES, YOU JUST NEED TO PAY $150 AT LEAST THEN WE CAN PUT YOU IN PAYMENT PLAN" I WAS ALMOST BEGGING HER TO JUST DO THE REGULAR CLEANING FOR NOW SINCE I WAS THERE AND SHE SAID, "I'M SORRY WE CANNOT DO THAT". THEN I AGREED AND TOLD HER THAT I WILL DISCUSS THE MORE THAN $2,000 CO-PAY FOR THE TREATMENT PLAN DOCTOR WALL IS RECOMMENDING FOR ME. THEN I MET MY WIFE OUTSIDE, THEN SHE TOLD ME THE SAME THING, SHE WAS REQUESTING TO HAVE HER REGULAR CLEANING THAT'S COVERED BY OUR INSURANCE BUT THEY DID NOT LET HER HAVE IT. MY WIFE JUST HAD HER PERIODONTAL CLEANING 6 MONTHS AGO BUT THE DENTAL HYGIENIST TOLD HER THAT SHE NEEDS A DEEP CLEANING AGAIN BECAUSE SHE DOESN'T BELIEVE THAT IT WAS DONE 6 MONTHS AGO, AS PER THE HYGIENIST IT SEEMS IT WAS DONE MORE THAN A YEAR AGO. MY WIFE HAD HER PERIODONTAL DEEP CLEANING 6 MONTHS AGO IN BEVERLY HILLS CALIFORNIA AND 3 MONTHS AFTER SHE HAD HER MAINTENANCE. BUT WHAT THE HYGIENIST AT DENTISTS OF TUCSON TELLING HER WAS DIFFERENT. I DO NOT TRUST THIS DENTIST, AND THE STUFF IN THIS CLINIC, IT SEEMS THEY ARE REALLY CONCERN ABOUT OUR MONEY, BIG PAYMENTS! I WAS ALMOST BEGGING ASKING TO DO THE REGULAR CLEANING FOR ME AND MY WIFE ANYWAY THAT TIME BUT INSTEAD, THEY SAID THE DOCTOR WILL LOSE HIS LICENSE. THAT WAS RIDICULOUS! I WORK IN THE CITY AND EARN PEANUTS, PAY CHECK TO PAY CHECK AND I TOLD THEM THAT! NO SYMPATHY, THEY DO NOT REALLY CARE FOR YOUR SITUATION, THEY WANT YOUR MONEY AND THAT'S IT! FIND SOMETHING ELSE, IF YOU NEED TO GO TO PHOENIX I BELIEVE 2 HOURS DRIVE IS WORTH IT! HERE IN TUCSON, IT'S SO HARD TO FIND A GOOD DENTIST THAT IS REALLY HONEST AND WILLING TO HELP YOU IN YOUR SITUATION! SMALL CITY, SMALL CHOICES, DOCTORS AND DENTISTS ARE MONEY GREEDY NO SYMPATHY TO PEOPLE WHO THEY SERVE!
