Horrible customer experience

By Patricia A., California, Verified Reviewer

I had the most horrible experience with Samantha on Bus 2 in Temecula. This was my second time and I was pretty much ready to buy this time, but not once I encountered this young lady. When she said "are you Patricia" and I said "yes," then she says "you've been here before right," I told her "yes," she said "fill this out, and I'm going to need your credit card" straight from the beginning, but she already had attitude, so there was no way I was going to give her my credit info. I explained to her that I had gotten some work done and then gone to an orthodontist who said I was not a candidate and she says "you are, here's your last reading, you just wanna look at those" with attitude. Long story short, I still yet to receive my plan. I do want to buy them but just not from her.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Pros and Cons

Cheaper than braces

Convenient

Attitude

Rudeness

Best experience ever imagined

By Rodney A., Tampa, FL, Verified Reviewer

My daughter had a great experience and her teeth are beautiful. So I had to see what all of the hype was about from my daughter. I decided to work on my smile so the appointment made was easy and seamless. The consult during my appointment was helpful and ensuring; and all of this while the technician walked me through and asked my history and what I wanted and then shared with me what to expect (awesome). Cheivia was very thorough and patient with me as I went through the process. The 3D images were amazing and nothing a traditional dentist would have provided. I did not feel like a number or a transaction, I felt my smile was important to Cheivia. Thank you and I will continue to refer friends and family.

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Pros and Cons

Seamless

Engaging

Great experience and the whole smile thing

Too many pre-appointment reminder emails

Too many reminder texts of appointment and post appointment text

Communication overload between emails and text both pre and post appointment, then no order number on any of the communications

I can’t pay my bill - terrible customer service

By Mckenzie F., Portland, OR, Verified Reviewer

I’ve been trying to pay my bill for two months. Every time I call they tell me the same line that my account wasn’t open but that it is now and that I’ll be able to pay my bill in 3-5 business days. I’m never able to.

I’ve told their customer service department that and they literally don’t care at all. They just give the same line over and over again until I hang up.
