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.
