How we compare

Some one-star reviews raise concerns

Some one-star reviewers say a CT scan was required before they could speak with the doctor; concerns included insurance coverage and radiation. One-star reviews describe pain concerns being dismissed as not being dry socket, including a report that the doctor did not examine the mouth at follow-up.
