Quality of Service
The overall quality of service provided by Dr. Kunnel's orthodontic practice is questionable. One reviewer, Ben G., gave a 1-star rating and described their experience as "awful and unprofessional." They mentioned that their kids had 3 years of braces but still have poor teeth, and recommended finding another orthodontist. On the other hand, Dana R. gave a 4-star rating and praised Dr. Kunnel as "great, " "professional, " and "helpful." They appreciated his prompt responses to their questions.
Staff Availability and Communication
Ush S.'s review highlighted several issues with the staff's availability and communication. They found it difficult to get in touch with the staff, and appointments were often scheduled late in the day. Ush also reported that the doctor did not provide face time with parents, even when requested.
Appointments and Scheduling
Ush's review mentioned that appointments were limited to two days a week, with only a small window of time available (up to 2:30 pm). They also reported that their son's broken bracket was not fixed due to a misunderstanding about communication, and they were still waiting for a follow-up appointment.
Finances and Billing
Ush also mentioned that some front office staff struggled to provide detailed statements for payments made. This lack of organization and communication further complicated their experience.
Conclusion
Overall, the reviews suggest that Dr. Kunnel's orthodontic practice may have room for improvement in terms of quality of service, staff availability, communication, and scheduling.
