    Great Staff who cares about their patients and their oral health. Great staff who values the quality of their work and not just the quantity. I was a new patient and my dental hygienist took her time with me and did a great job giving my teeth a much needed extensive cleaning. I highly recommend.

    It’s been a while since I’ve been to the dentist. I chose Dr Kutas because I heard so many good things about Dr Kutas and his staff. I was not disappointed. Ginger was excellent in that she put me at ease and is very experienced. A lovely person. Thank you Ginger.

    Initially, I must say I was puzzled by the lack of attentiveness being it was my first visit however I thought it may just be me… so my thinking altered to, maybe Dr. Kutas is a veteran at this ?! Unfortunately, my instincts were right. After careful consideration and research, I read reviews informing me of the exact questionable actions I experienced. There are too many vulnerable patients that trusted Dr. Kutas whom bypassed dignity and integrity for payment of services not needed or wrongfully done in hopes of suggesting additional services. I empathize with those that have experienced this and it’s unfortunate. Some may handle their situation a little differently being they were intentionally scammed for personal gain/greed while others can… I If you believe a dentist is engaging in a scam, you should take specific steps to gather evidence and report the fraudulent activity to the appropriate authorities. Common signs of potential dental scams include recommending unnecessary procedures, aggressive upselling, lack of transparency in pricing, and refusal to provide X-rays or records. Warning Signs of a Potential Scam Recommending Unnecessary Treatments: Be wary if a dentist suggests extensive, expensive procedures (like numerous crowns, general anesthesia for routine work, or pulling healthy teeth for implants) without clear evidence or explanation. Refusal to Provide Records or X-rays: A trustworthy dentist will share your records and X-rays and encourages a second opinion. Refusal to do so is a major warning sign. Aggressive Upselling and Pressure: Feeling pressured into making an immediate, expensive decision on the spot is a red flag. Inaccurate Billing/Insurance Issues: Issues like incorrect insurance estimates, billing for services not performed (upcoding), or not applying payments correctly are serious concerns. Poor Office Practices: High staff turnover or a lack of cleanliness can indicate an unprofessional environment focused on profit over patient care. Steps to Take if You Suspect a Scam Gather Documentation: Obtain an itemized bill: You have a right to a fully itemized bill detailing all services and costs. Request dental records: Get copies of your X-rays, treatment plans, and clinical notes. Document communications: Keep records of all texts, emails, and notes from phone calls with the dental office and your insurance company. Get a Second Opinion: Consult with an independent, reputable dentist (preferably not associated with the same corporate chain, if applicable). Provide them with your existing records and X-rays and ask for their assessment of your oral health and the recommended treatment plan. Contact Your Insurance Company: Report the situation to your dental insurance provider. They have a financial incentive to investigate fraud and can request an audit or reclaim funds. File Formal Complaints: State Dental Board: Report procedural issues and unnecessary treatments to your state's dental board. They are responsible for licensing and regulating dentists. State Attorney General: Contact this office to report billing irregularities and credit issues. Federal Trade Commission (FTC): File a complaint online with the FTC to report fraudulent business practices. Better Business Bureau (BBB): While they have no legal authority, complaints to the BBB help create a public record and warning for other patients. FBI: In cases of significant health care fraud, the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) may also be relevant. Seek Legal Counsel: For significant financial loss or medical malpractice, consider consulting a personal injury or malpractice attorney.

    Dr. Sarah and the entire team was wonderful and very professional. I had an extraction done on today, she explained everything to me so well and eased my anxiety. I had a pain free experience and hours later still no pain. I love this office and will be coming back for all my dental needs.

    I was very happy with my visit. I was looking for a new dentist and I was seen by Sarah and she was fabulous. She sat and listened to all my concerns. She treated me like a human being and helped me during a difficult time. I am looking forward to having her as my go to dentist 🙂
