Insufficient Disclosure of Insurance Coverage
Mishar Mahboob, who gave 3 stars, expressed disappointment with the office for not informing them that MetLife is not an in-network provider before the service was rendered. The office took the full payment upfront, promising that the insurance would reimburse them after processing. However, this did not happen, and Mahboob was left with a large bill. This lack of transparency was perceived as dishonest.
Positive Reviews
On the other hand, many reviewers had a positive experience with Southern Smiles. They praised the office for its friendly and kind staff, as well as the excellent service provided by Dr. Narineh and Dr. Dan. The office was described as having a safe and warm environment, with staff who take the time to explain procedures to children and make them feel comfortable. Several reviewers mentioned that their children had a positive experience, even with activities like watching TV during appointments.
Negative Comments
The main negative comment from Mahboob, mentioned above, highlights the importance of clear insurance coverage disclosure. This incident led to a negative experience and a loss of trust with the office.
