1 /5 Nicole Pinta: Very unprofessional to say the least. When I am in tears saying I do not want an extraction, I wasn’t even offered a root canal as an option. So I paid $200 to spend my day crying, knowing that I have to go to another dentist and spend more money. I should’ve stayed with my previous dentist, but I was trying to save money. This is what happens when you don’t have insurance. I’ve learned you get what you pay for though. Pay the extra money so you don’t have someone talking nothing yet extraction, no alternatives.
