Azim Presswala, DDS

My appt, was for ¼/​2016, they called me at 10:30 this morning to cancel my appointment, saying that my United Healthcare online said I was not covered with dental insurance. I’ve waited 3 weeks to get the appt… I went online to check my united healthcare provider to make sure I had dental insurance it said yes I did, I called the dentist office back and said I have insurance take a look they said not according to their computers. I then called my social worker and ask her to help me, she said I have dental insurance, I called the dentist office back again they said no I have no insurance so then I call United Healthcare once again they said I have insurance and I can have the dentist office call United Healthcare and they will tell them I have insurance so they can take me in today. I called the dentist office again and said could you please call United Healthcare here’s the number they will tell you I have insurance, they said they won’t call them they don’t trust them and I should have my health insurance call them to let them know I have dental insurance so that is what I did, my health insurance called the dentist office and said yes you can take her: she has insurance for dental they proceeded to tell her that they didn’t trust that… and they didn’t want me as a patient until I have dental insurance even though I jumped through their hoops proving I had dental insurance they still won’t work with me. I filed a complaint with my health insurance company… I also went on a website called health grade, and checked out his grade as a doctor /​dentist he got a one and a half star out of 5 with 23 reviews given him a one star. Avoid this dentist!

MY opinion on the integrity of this dentist practice is just shot.
I was in need a cleaning so when I went as a new patient what I experienced wasn’t at all what I have been use to experiencing from past visit to any Dentist My visit was so damn HORRIBLE and the staff behavior was just UNACCPTABLE and damaging to how I feel now about dentistry
Azim Presswala (DDS) Please, Don’t practice dentistry if you continue to treat patients in the lowest demeanor, please just close your office and find a profession that doesn’t include you dealing with the public when it comes to the health care of our teeth.
MY terrible dentist visit (PLAY by play of what I actually experienced) still blows my mind:
I walked in to the dentist office and straight head, I see the front desk to check in. I noticed the office waiting room had no one seated in it. etc…(UN-usual) since the entire parking lot spots to park in were all filled with cars expect one spot I parked in.
I approach the front desk and I counted 3 younger ladies seated and two others standing directly behind them chit chatting away and as I attempted to check in there eyes were fixed into my personal information being pulled up onto the computer. (odd, I thought) One girl told me to take a seat and so I did and as I was about to sit I see just one older gentlemen walking out from a visit).
Time passes and I get called by an assistant to come to take my ex rays. I took the ex rays and I noticed as I walked away from the machine a long row of individual patient chairs with individual dividers to separate and give privacy. Only, those chairs were all empty and the assistant escorts me to my chair that has a full see through glass window to the outside street where I could see traffic lights so visible for any of the cars stopped at a red light the ability to witness my personal dental visit. (INCLUDING) the people waiting for the bus line directly across the street, they also had a clear view to watch my entire dental «CHAIR» visit.
The Dentists red head assistant who examines my teeth right before the Dentist comes was unbelievably mean and start verbally insulting me all the while she holds a sharp tool inside my mouth. And, not once but three times (until I yelled out) stabbed my gums very hard with her tool she used. I told her she was hurting me she then said «I don’t know what to tell you, I can stop the examine all together if you cant handle it » using a snarky nasty attitude (in her professional position) like I had no choices. Then the red headed assistant proceeded to announce any thing she found (supposedly) wrong for the entire staff to hear or take notice of. I felt so uncomfortable from that point. Soon the dentist came in and he didn’t he look at me or introduce himself or even review my ex rays with me as I have experienced in past office visits with other dentists.
He proceeds to tell me that I need to have a two back row teeth removed before he would even think about filling my two cavities. I was angry and humiliated from how the office staff were behaving and the unpleasantness I felt was just beyond awful service. I was offended and personally insulted by their unethical rude and disrespectful manners I finally got up and told them how unprofessional they were acting and how disgusted I felt about my visit. I would not take one more minute of there abusive treatment. I walked out and ended up crying inside my car because I realized the dentist took my filling out of an old (old) tooth I had filled years ago, with out ever telling me any thing. I thought this didn’t just happen to me and became angry I wanted to storm back in but I was so emotional it wouldn’t have helped my situation either way. I Never ever, ever, ever, ever, will use this Azim DDS health services. The worst dentist practice I have ever experienced and it has impacted my fear on going to the dentist. I wouldn’t recommend anyone I loved or even disliked to use this dentist service due to how I was treated. I Advise anyone thinking about this dentist office to consider not using Azim DDS OFFICE practice for future appointments.
