Jordan M Alter, DDS

You have no idea how happy I am to see this dentist listed on Unilocal because people need to know the truth about this guy. To put it simply, Dr. Alter is the perfect example of how a thief doesn’t always need a gun and ski mask to rob people.
My girlfriend has been his patient for about 10 years now. A few years back I had a terrible toothache and had no where else to go but to Dr. Alter… big mistake. He started a root canal on me and I was in the chair literally 20 minutes and he was done. I never went back because he has the WORST times for scheduling… like HELLO, some of us have jobs, Dr. Alter! Some time later, I received a bill for over $ 900! I called the office and spoke to the rather rude receptionist saying the Dr. did a lot of prep work for the root canal blah blah blah. She refused to put Dr. Alter on the phone so we can discuss the matter man to man… what a coward! So some time passed, and I received a letter from Dr. Alter’s lawyer threatening lawsuit if I didn’t pay. At this point I was out of work and truly unable to pay anything. Again, I refused to pay even if I did have the money. And yet again I called the office to speak with Dr. Alter, but apparently he has the guts to overbill people but not enough guts to admit he’s a fraud. Lo and behold, I get a notice in the mail to appear in court. Oh I forgot to mention that the tooth he did so much prep work on… fell out by itself! Yeah that’s $ 900 worth of dental work right??? To make a long story short, I settled to pay $ 200 and not a dime more. Of course the fraud took it and the only reason I settled was because I got a new job the same week as the court date so I had to bite the bullet.
Please avoid this dentist if you value the money you earn and not get ripped off. Honestly, I would take a bottle of whiskey and a paid of pliers before I ever call this guy again.
