Jefferson Dental Clinics – Bellaire

I would give NO star if there is an option here. I scheduled my appointment for regular cleaning, however, the staff and doctor there keep on pressuring me to do all these different Xrays. I told them I take good care of my teeth, and there was no need for me to do all these Xrays just because my insurance covers it. Instead of offering me to do a refill on my wisdom tooth, Dr. Lu (the young Asian female) suggested to have them removed… I am so shocked how careless she is with patient! I’ve never been to a dentist where they don’t even offer patient the option for refill! She was trying to send me to the billing consultant after a quick exam. I left the office because they wasted my time there. This place is just absolutely horrible, the only thing they care is MONEY. I CANNOT WAIT TO FILE A COMPLAIN ON DR. LU. HORRIBLE DENTIST!

I would give them a zero if Unilocal allows a zero. They took my 4 year old son to the back claiming that they will do X-​rays and I shouldn’t go in because of the radiation risk. It took forever and when I asked persistently about my son, they told me he had his examination already because the dentist didn’t like the parents to be present. WTH, how do you examine a young child with out the presence of their guardian. They refused to clean his teeth or apply fluoride because he was scared and crying. I tried to convince him to do it and they looked at me like I’m crazy. They asked me to leave claiming that my son was scaring the other children. I saw two young kids in there with no parents. The waiting room was empty so I don’t know where their parents went! I told the dentist to take another look at his gums because he had a sore and she looked at me in a very judgmental way and said «Are you feeding him fruits and vegetables?». I replied yes and she then said «really, sores happen because of a vitamin C deficiency and he doesn’t look like he’s eating much».
This place is for the unfortunate people who don’t have insurance because the prices are reasonable. Don’t ever come here with your child. I usually go to Lovett but they had a longer wait for a pediatric dentist. I will definitely go back to Lovett.

My wife and I had an appointment scheduled at this location. Unfortunately, we were given the 13 442 Bellaire Blvd. address over the phone. After checking in at the other location, it took them thirty-​five minutes to tell us we were at the wrong location. We then drove to this location, and checked in about 10:10 AM (one hour past our original appointment). There were only 2 children and one adult ahead of us when we checked in. We waited about 60 minutes in the waiting room before being taken back. X-​Rays were taken, and then we waited for over an hour to see the dentist. We then had to see the insurance specialist to explain how much we would have to pay based on our benefits for a cleaning. I read our benefits ahead of time (and provided this to the clinic twice)…(it’s included on the annual visit). It is now 12:45. We decided to leave due to the fact a cleaning would take another «30 – 45 minutes.» While my wife and I attempted to have a dentist visit, we were paying for a sitter for our two kids from 8:45AM-1:00PM.
This is by far the worst experience I have had with any medical professional. I will say that the dentist is very friendly, but good god people, get organized. I spent half a day at the dentist office, and didn’t even get a cleaning!

Waited a total of 3 hours. Would not let me accompany my 8 year old son for his x-​rays nor teeth cleaning. Truly dissapointed, only reason we chose this place was because it was open Saturday.
Avoid if you can, from now on I’ll just take my son to our regular dentist.

Too bad Unilocal forces you to give a star, i would have given them negative stars if i could. Horrible service and long wait. I waited 45 minutes before they brought me inside, and i left 2 hours later and they had not started cleaning my teeth yet. Now i have to make a new appointment with a dental clinic that does not look like a payday loan shop.

I was traveling in Houston with a tooth broken, the last few days of my trip were painful and wanted to see a dantist on emergency. Jefferson clinic staff were quick responding and the doctor agreed to see me on the same day. The multilingual doctor evaluated my situation and advised that my tooth should be taken out because of a fracture in the bottom. It all went smooth. The staff was caring and responsive. The clinic was very clean. And above all the prices were very reasonable. The only trouble i faced was after i got to a pharmacy and realized that the doctor did not mention the stregnth of antibiotecs i had to take. We tried multiple times to reach the clinic over the phone to confirm, but it was closed and the operator could not help with contacting the doctor at home or cell phone. I had to spend the night without taking any antibiotecs. If the after hours cutomer care is improved it can help make Jefferson even better.

Helpful staff, quick appointment, and good customer support.
Affordable, normally dentists are expensive but not here. This office was willing to work with us.
Recommend!

I was very apprehensive about going to a dentist with a lighted, flashing, «open» sign, but I was pleasantly surprised.
The office is clean and the Dentist and dental assistants are competent and very kind.
Be prepared to wait. There is only one dentist there. They accept appointments and walk ins.
Good experience… and that isn’t the Vicodin talking
