The front desk greeted me with warm smile 😊 The office is so clean.The hygienist is so friendly, she makes me feel as if I was conversing to her like an old friend. She did an awesome job!
I’m a new patient here. I haven’t been to the dentist for quite a while and I have some concerns. Dr. Austin took time to listen to all my concerns and discuss what are the treatments and recommendations. He’s so amazing, very knowledgeable on what he’s doing and genuinely cares about you. I appreciate the front desk explaining everything to me in detail and made sure I understood what the detailed cost would be through my dental insurance plan.
The whole experience was so great, very positive.
This is the best dental office I’ve ever gone to. Thank you!! 😊

I had an extremely disappointing and frustrating experience with Dr. Austin Hagyegi and his dental office. I went in expecting professional service, but instead, I feel I was completely taken advantage of.

First, the experience itself was painful and unprofessional. When the dentist injected the local anesthetic into my gums, it hurt so badly that it felt like they were either inexperienced or completely indifferent to my comfort. I’ve had dental work done before, and this was by far the most poorly handled experience.

Second, they grossly overcharged me for basic dental treatments compared to standard rates.

Third, despite being in-network with my insurance, they refused to process my claim, stating they "don’t like dealing with the hassle of insurance claims". They then coerced me into paying out of pocket by claiming I could seek reimbursement from my insurance after treatment. However, after the treatment, they failed to provide the proper documentation required for reimbursement, effectively leaving me stuck with the entire cost.

Adding to the frustration, they apparently do not issue receipts, invoices, or copies of signed paperwork unless you explicitly ask for them. When I requested mine, I was made to wait several days before finally receiving them, which is completely unacceptable. It shouldn't take so long to do so.

Finally, when I tried to address these concerns with the dentist, they refused to take any accountability. Instead, they essentially told me they would rather lose my business than address the valid issues I raised. What’s most disappointing is that had the dentist simply complied with my reasonable request to provide the necessary documents, I would have gladly returned as a regular patient and recommended them to my family and friends. Instead, I left feeling scammed and disrespected.

To top it off, it’s obvious that almost every 5-star review they have is AI-generated or fake. It’s clear they’re more invested in creating a false online reputation than actually treating patients ethically or professionally.

This practice's blatant disregard for transparency, professionalism, patient care, and basic ethics is appalling. It seems their primary goal is to maximize profits, even at the expense of their patients' comfort and financial well-being. I would strongly advise anyone to avoid this dentist unless you want to risk being overcharged, subjected to unnecessary pain, misled about insurance coverage, and dismissed when you voice legitimate concerns. They're running an overall bad business here, don't fall for their deception.
