Howard Cunningham, DDS

Ripoff…
Mincy Gaysian answers phone and attempts to sell you on unnecessary additional appointments and procedures…
Must need $$ to pay for fancy office…

Dr. Howard Cunningham and his office and staff are terrific.
Dr. Cunningham consistently does a great job, and the support staff are pleasant people who keep the office running smoothly.
It’s great to know you can go to a practice with qualified caring service, that doesn’t keep you sitting in the lobby waiting, or try to upsell you procedures you don’t need.
Conveniently located right off the corner of Federal Avenue and Oaland Park with plenty of free parking, my partner and I have always been very happy here.

The gay dentist, exactly what I wanted, so me and my partner, could feel comfortable there. But every time I went, he hard sold me to get Invisalign dental braces. I resisted it for months finally he said let’s just take some measurements and I can think about it. Then suddenly they were ordered, and I was being billed for them, but Dr Cunningham said its ok your insurance will cover «all this, no problem» but just as suddenly, it was 2000 $ out of pocket. then it was an «every 3 weeks appointment» for fitting, with a co-​pay$$$ of course. I was having a problem with one of the liners cutting my gums, I was told it would shift with my teeth. As this went on and on with the money piling up, I asked when they would be finished. «Finished? Oh no, after this we are going to do veneers and there’s a crown,$$$, etc etc» when I said that my mouth was turning into a new Porsche for the Dr, his asst replied in a surly sneer, «no way, an Audi!» I decided to stop going to this dentist and he said, «you can’t» and that I still owed him 2400 $ for the rest of the invisaliners. Long story short, it cost me most of that to sue him, but since he was never going to stop thinking of new dental work to charge me for, I probably got out cheap. I’m not complaining about his dental work, but his business ethic is pure robbery.

Tried to make appointments for my husband and I to get cleanings. The doctor won’t do cleanings as he has to meet you first, then schedule another visit for a cleaning. I’ve never heard of this before. I’ve always been able to schedule a cleaning and get examined the same day. Needless to say we took our business down the road where they were more than happy to clean and examine us in the same day. I don’t reccomend for new patients.
