Seabury Carrie DDS

After having been a patient with Dr. seabury at Appletree Dental for years, spending at least 10K for various treatments, I have decided to leave this practice for another dentist. The staff is very friendly and Dr. Seabury seems to be a good dentist. The problem is that over the years I have less and less of Dr. Seabury as she leaves most of the dental work to her assistants and only comes in to finish up. i was told twice I had periodontal disease with large pockets up to 7 mm and needed another costly $ 1600 scaling and rooting procedure to be done by a 25 year old, rather inexperienced hygienist. In addition my husband, who also spent at least 10K at this place, was charged almost 5K for two crowns and the placement was entirely done by an assistant. My complaint is that even though we are patients with Dr. Seabury, we hardly ever see her and most of the work is done by very young assistants. Dr. Seabury is also not very communicative about procedures and treatment options and does hardly volunteer any information. After the latest diagnosis and proposed treatment plan for extensive and costly scaling and arresting, I decided to get a second opinion… turns out I just need regular cleaning for $ 112.00 and this was diagnosed by a very renowned dentist in Boulder who explained everything in detail and has a state of the arts practice with the latest technology and who does not hand you off to an inexperienced assistant. needless to say… I do not recommend this office!!!

We have been to dr seabury a few times, and it’s very disappointed of the over charged they told you one thing but when you came out the bill always a lot more she never discuss with you it’s going to cost more or what she’s going to do extra, it seem like we always end up paying 200 — 600 dollars more from a teeth cleaned to do a crown. She think because most people that have insurance wouldn’t care or pay attention too much but for us paying cash out of pocket it’s a lot of money. It seem like every time we go in there we always get surprises that we don’t expect I was told from other dentist if your teeth it’s in good condition you don’t need to get a periondal exam every year. But she did it anyway so now your teeth cleaned supposively 175 dollars now you end up paying 490 for what? Your crown was told roughly 2000 now you came out with a bill 2600. We liked them at the beginning because of the environment and thought she was nice but don’t be fooled, we felt we were being ripped off so we will never go back, so just make sure before you sit in that chair ask her exactly what service she is going to do? And how much because she will not discuss it with you. We’ ve learned a lesson from now on we will make sure we will not be charged for something we don’t expect, cause as in the past that never happens to us, but usually a dentist does something extra they always informed with you, Very dishonest dentist don’t be fooled cause she’s nice.

Final follow-​up. It has now been four years since Seabury told me I had SEVEN cavities that needed to be filled. I have been to multiple dentists since then (simply due to moving and switching insurance) and none of them has found a single cavity.
So much for Seabury’s insistence that she «stands by what she saw on the x-​rays.»
