After a car accident at 19 yrs old my only option back then was dental bridges. At 40 yrs old with nerve pain & failing bridgework I saw Dr. Rafla for implants.He is a total professional & expert periodontist, as well as kind, caring person. My implants have not failed in 25 yrs. I moved to Maine to retire and when told to see a local periodontist I couldn't start with someone new. I drove 3 hrs back to Worcester, MA for a consult because I trust Dr. Rafla.
The process of pulling one of my teeth was agonizing. Terrible pain that left me afraid to go to any dentist afterwards.
went for a FREE consultation in Worcester office. Left there with NO answers and with very little interaction with the Dr. Now I am receiving a bill for 142.00 for the FREE consultation. Terrible experience
Misrepresented Initial X-ray billing. Took xrays then asked how I was going to pay. Prior to (implant) surgery had to pay in full then office sent a post op bill. Office is not accurate with billing. I would not recommend Rafla to anyone.
To get an estimate for implants cost me $454.00, even though I was not told that such a charge was forthcoming.
Let the buyer beware!
I had implants done and when Doctor Rafla was done, I found out that he decided to add an extra implant without asking me. When I came to, I was given the bill which I had to pay on the same day before I left. I was stupid and paid for the implant. I should have refused to pay. Find an honest dentist who cares about his patients doesn't own a 4 million dollar home. Office is nice and clean as well as the waiting area.
Dr Raffla only cares about numbers. During my first 2 hrs laser surgery my mouth began to tremble , you could tell this was interfering with his overbookeducation schedule and he appeared impatient. With my 2nd appointment he actually stated he liked me better this time (no mouth trembling). He billed for occlusal adjustment he never preformed. When asked by hygienist to check my mouth he declined on 2 separate occasions. I would recommend finding any other more caring periodontists.
Dr. Rafla made me feel very comfortable throughout the whole procedure. Julie reviewed everything with my insurance and explained how it works so I understood my financial obligations and what to hopefully expect from the insurance company in terms of coverage. The whole staff was very helpful in making me feel comfortable from the start. I highly recommend going to Dr. Rafla!
