Worst dental visit I’ve ever had. Within about 10 seconds of looking in my mouth, Dr. Lipovetskiy told me I needed $6,000 in orthodontic treatment for bruxism and possibly sleep apnea despite already having braces 10 years ago and wearing retainers consistently. I’ve seen three dentists since and not one has ever suggested anything like this. No testing, no sleep study, no understanding of my medical history.
When I tried to explain my history I was cut off by him. He kept telling me to look at him while he was talking like I was a child. Only after recommending the $6k treatment did he ask about symptoms related to sleep apnea (which I don’t have), then walked it back with, “I’m not saying you have it.”
The hygienist spent a chunk of the appointment giving me a lecture about stress and life, which felt preachy and wasted my time. Another staff member didn’t speak English clearly, and it caused communication issues during the visit.
Two days later I went to Sunrise Smiles Dentistry down the road and had a normal experience, a completely different answer, and a dentist who actually listened. Funny enough, we attended the same university around the same time.
This office called me the following week trying to pitch the $6,000 orthodontics again.
