BR Dental Care: Carlos M. Suadi, DDS

I received a $ 99 offer in the mail from BR Dental for cleaning, x-​rays and an exam – a good deal; other places I called asked $ 260. I was pleased with the cleaning, done by a part-​time staff person who was kind and responsive when I told her the setting for the sonic cleaning device was a bit too strong. HOWEVER, when Dr. Peters examined my teeth and informed me I needed $ 1800 of dental work, I balked. I said I needed to think about it and he responded, «What is there to think about?» I said that I had just had the teeth he wanted to alter filled a year ago and would call my last dentist in Texas for advice. He asked me to come into his little office, where he continued the hard sell. This was awkward. He simply repeated his pitch from minutes earlier. Finally I said, this is something I need to think about, I’m sure you can respect that. He wasn’t happy. So, dear Unilocalers, if you’re willing to spend a lot more than $ 99 or to go through the upcharge wringer, go ahead and bring your discount flyer to BR Dental. I’m going to check out the dental school in New Orleans.
