Dr. Mark R Vanbuskirk, DDS

I had a minor procedure done (extraction). I have good insurance, and paid my estimated portion of the bill on the date of service. However, several weeks later I received a bill for hundreds of additional dollars. I immediately called and requested a detailed, itemized invoice showing the charges, amount paid by me, insurance, etc. Most dentists provide this. Instead of providing me with any additional info, they sent my bill to a debt lawyer. The dental work was average, so it is not worth putting up with predatory billing practices. I am always happy to pay charges that are explained and justified. Now, I will have to pay additional lawyer fees. I will not return and do not recommend. A silver lining is that I have now found another dentist that is great and provides detailed invoices.

I paid my bill in full the same day of my service. I received a bill in the mail, when I called them to inquire about the bill, they told me that was just an estimate. They are crooks. It is was not an estimate. I told them I have my receipt and she hung up on me.

Both dentists are awesome!!! :)
