Julie Laverdiere Beck, DDS – Oral Surgery of the Glen

Our entire family are patients of Dr Laverdiere. 3 of my 4 children have had their wisdom teeth pulled by her (my youngest will too eventually) and I, personally, under her care, had major jaw surgery to repair my severe underbite. On all occasions with my children, as well as myself, Dr L and her staff were caring, compassionate and professional. We always felt like we were receiving the best care that possibly could be provided. I am also an ED/​Trauma RN. Over the years, I have worked alongside several surgeons of many different specialties. As a fellow healthcare provider AND patient, I can say with all sincerity that Dr L is one of the best surgeons I’ve worked with. Despite being an expert in her field, she’s approachable, understanding and down to earth. She actually «talks» to you like a person and wants you to understand what it is she’s talking about. As we all know, most surgeons do not. What better quality to have as a surgeon?!! She works very hard to address all your concerns/​issues, whatever they may be and resolve them. Never once did any of us feel dismissed or unheard. She truly cares about her patients and that fact exudes throughout the care she provides. I highly recommend Dr Laverdiere to anyone who may need mouth work done. Your experience will be great. I promise.

Staff was friendly and the place is nice and clean. However, made an appointment for my husband and specifically scheduled for extraction of teeth. Went in and spoke to the surgeon, thinking, why are we in the office?! Assuming that we are going over the procedure and the plan — then she dismiss us. I’m like, no we are here for extraction and she said, you guys are the 3^rd patient that said that… Which means, someone in your staff did not do their scheduling correctly.
She advised us to come back in 45min for the extraction. Came back teeth pulled, seen the bill and was charge $ 130 for a consult, a consult we never scheduled! I’m like, why are you charging me for a consult when I have a referral for an extraction plus I already had my «consult» from our dentist suggesting for the procedure, we didn’t need a second opinion, we are here for extraction. All they can say was, well the dr did speak to you and went over the plan. I was so mad! Talk about ripping you off blindsided!!!
When you make an appt, make sure you know what you are going in for otherwise they will charge you for everything! The Dr will even say, I don’t do the billing/​insurance portion! This is your practice, you have the say so what charges should be made or waived!
