Alok Arora, DMD

i have never written a google review before, but i feel compelled to do so because i fear that other patients may lose a lot of money by going to dr. arora's practice. dr. arora's staff are friendly and courteous. however, i experienced two problems. firstly, they incorrectly told me that they were in my insurance's network. granted, i should have double-checked myself. i only realized that they were not in my network after i received a hefty bill for a normal cleaning. notwithstanding the network issue, the bill contained several expenses that seemed rather questionable. i sent chatGPT a copy of my invoice and it said, "even ignoring the fact that the dentist is out-of-network, these charges are still abnormally high for a routine cleaning visit." secondly, at the cleaning, dr. arora told me that i had seven cavities. since i learned that i was not in his network, i went to another dentist to get fillings. this other dentist, who has over 40 years of experience and runs a highly-rated practice, told me that i actually did not have any cavities, and that the black spots that dr. arora saw were just coffee stains. he also got an AI model to look at my X-rays, and it verified that i did not have any cavities. if i had stayed with dr. arora's practice, i would have spent thousands of dollars to get my cavities filled.

Great dental care from Dr. Alok Arora—professional and high-quality treatment. The only downside was the male front desk staff. He was impatient when I asked him to repeat, and he didn’t answer my question about whether my crown check was urgent while scheduling. I’d still recommend the dentist, but the front desk could be more professional.
