We went to Dr. Nerad's office for regular dental and orthodontics. I had two coverages for my daughter in effect and I was made in many cases to pay upfront for all the fees and then when he got refunded from the insurance company it was like pulling teeth to get my money back. I have never had to prepay all my dental expenses upfront having two coverages for insurance and good credit. I also was very unhappy with the old style of orthodontic which made my child uncomfortable and clearly did not work. Phase one is not always necessary and i was basically charged 4600 for a retainer. I got a second opionion and am going to Dr. Toms which has great reviews. I am in the process of requesting all of my prepaid ortho fees back and may end up in small claims court. His office is still holding a check for $479.00 from my insurance that is due to me. I wanted to feel like the dentist cared about my childs health not just greed of money in the pocket. My two insurances for dental and ortho and out of my pocket were billed over 10,000 in less than six months.
