My Nonprofit Reviews

One star is the rating for "Far below expectation" and that is unfortunately what I received. I was kind of shocked when they told me, sorry, cant help you, go get a root canal. And my thinking is, wait a minute, dont you have that listed on your site as something that you do? Now, you do understand the concept of why a person would come to a free clinic, do you not? Its a little bizarre to tell them go get a root canal. Buzz off. It was bizarre to say in the least. Why would I be there, Come on. On the positive side, everyone is super nice, that much is true. On the paradoxically negative side, I haven't been to a dentist for several years and they did not bother to do a thorough or even a half way decent examination to see what else might be in need. No. They did not. This is extraordinary shocking. It is lacking basic levels of expectation from professionals. Yes, even professionals who are there on a volunteer basis. They saw a tooth abscess, a patient in need, and turned him away, go elsewhere. I'm not sure that's exactly five stars. When you consider that a through examination was definitely not given to see what other issues may be there, I would say one star at best, i.e. far below expectations from professionals, yes, even on volunteer time. If you cant do it correctly don't do it at all. And correctly was definitely not done here.

The clinic seems to be geared mostly for doing dental cleanings. I'd hardly say thats dental clinic urgent need. In all truth what got me in here were the all around five stars.

When I saw all the five star ratings I said to myself, oh my God these guys must be awesome. The truth of it is that they probably are like any other clinic. Just With nicer folks. In my case they sort of turned me away.

My concept of a clinic is helping people out who are in need. Routine cleaning is hardly fitting in that category. When you say five star, its five stars. This was far from five stars here.

ps In Reply to the Reply, please be advised that a subsequent XRay found 2 teeth to be infected, one of them a PreMolar, something you state very clearly that you do treat. In this case you didnt figure out the infected teeth correctly. And you did not treat anything. Most of what the Clinic does unfortunately can be done anywhere around for equal if not less of a cost. Many private clinics offer free Xrays and exam for nominal if no charge. If cleaning is all that the clinic does, then that is something that practically any other clinic does for practically the same cost. Sorry to be hard on you guys, but what a clinic is known for, you guys most definitely do not meet the mark. How did you miss the 2nd tooth that was infected? Somebody needs to take a look at operations at the clinic. Its missing the mark in more ways than one. Not figuring out that more than one tooth was infected? Wow. Thats dangerous. If you guys cant do it right, you shouldnt do it at all. Your a free clinic, but even free clinics need to be professional. Missing an infected tooth is not what anyone would call professional, but dangerously laconic.
