This business, and Dr. Fields specifically, is super unscrupulous! They knew they were out of network but said nothing to my husband. All they said is that he had to pay upfront and they’d bill his insurance. Now we are stuck paying over $200 for a consultation for nothing. We now have to find another doctor to do the work and have to pay for another consultation. Obviously they only care about money!! Why they think we would pay $5000 out of pocket when he could easily get it paid for by a dentist in network. My husband’s general dentist actually referred him specifically to Dr. Fields, without taking into consideration that he is out of network. Apparently there is another dentist at this practice that is in his network but they failed to inform him. Apparently this is a common occurrence, his dentist always referring patients to Dr. Fields. I have never in my life seen a business that doesn’t inform the patient ahead of time that they are out of network. Yes, my husband should have double checked and this is a hard lesson we learned. Stay away from this practice as obviously money is their main focus!

I went to Precision 3 months ago after I was referred by my dentist for a localized periodontitis for a tooth that was part of a bridge that had some inflammation and gum loss. The dental assistant started by getting a full xray of my mouth. I told the assistant I just had my oral evaluation two weeks ago where xrays were done so they could have just asked the xrays from my dentist. After my tooth was examined by Dr. Naru, she recommended extraction, bone graft then an implant. I asked if there is anything that can be done to save my tooth. She said I will just be wasting more money to do that and if I want I can have the extraction done that same day so I can minimize my trips to their office. I said I was not ready to have a tooth extraction that day. I thought I need to get a second opinion if the tooth really needs to be extracted. It is part of a bridge so extracting it means I will have 2 missing teeth. I made an appointment with the second periodontist referred by my dentist. When I made the appointment I asked if they need to take a full xray of my mouth. I was told that was not necessary since I was referred only for one tooth. This second periodontist said he will treat the gums to try to make them healthy. I had one laser treatment and the gums around the tooth have improved. I am glad I got a second opinion. This periodontist even takes my insurance and also participates in a dental discount plan I have which Precision did not.

I'm not even sure where to begin on this one. I went in for a consultation and I was immediately recommended for surgery. No alternatives were even discussed. I was not given any information on the significant risks of the procedure during my consultation. The periodontist's office consulted with my insurance as to how much the procedure would cost and they received the response in writing, based on VERY SPECIFIC treatment codes. The day of my procedure, I went in and was made to sign a waiver form which listed all of the very significant and worrisome potential outcomes of the surgery. I almost left right then and there. The biggest reason I didn't is because if you cancel less than 2 business days in advance you owe $500 PER HOUR for the periodontist's time. Shortly after the procedure, my gums started bleeding again so I went in for a follow up. At that point, the periodontist who had done my procedure had left the practice and I was seen by Dr. Zalewsky instead. It became immediately clear that Dr. Zalewsky had not reviewed my chart before the appointment and he refused to examine me until I had my next cleaning appointment. He was beyond rude. I have never been treated so unprofessionally before. About a month later, I was charged double for the treatment because the periodontist's office deviated from the treatment codes they had originally sent my insurance. Oh, and let's not forget that they went ahead and contacted my insurance again to find out what my coverage would be for additional procedures WE HADN'T EVEN DISCUSSED YET. After all that, the procedure didn't even work, and my gums are back to bleeding only a few months later. They started bleeding again almost immediately after the procedure. Bottom line: find a different, professional periodontist. I most certainly have.
