Dr. Alexander Genkin, DMD

Hello everyone, I had a Negative Experience at Dentex Dental at Bustleton and Red Lion, located at 10108 Bustleton Ave, Philadelphia, PA 19116, and I wanted to share it with you. I visited Dr. Alexander Genkin. Usually, I don't write reviews, but perhaps this will help you in the future if you choose this dental office and Dr. Alexander Genkin. I went to this clinic because I needed to reattach my dental bridge, which had become loose. It consisted of three crowns, with two units on the sides supporting the bridge, and a missing tooth in the middle, creating a gap. I called the dental office in advance and asked about the cost, and they told me it would be $50 per unit. So, with two units, I expected to pay $100. However, while in the dental chair, the doctor informed me that the prices had increased and that attaching one tooth would cost $160, and I supposedly had three teeth to attach. I was confused because I only had two teeth and a gap in the middle. He admitted that I was right and that it would be $320 for two teeth. He seemed to be trying to overcharge me at every opportunity. I also mentioned to the doctor that I had called beforehand and was told it would not cost more than $50 per unit. He agreed, blaming the receptionist for not knowing the prices and for the price increase. The doctor also told me that when he removes the bridge, I would need an X-ray, which he assured me was necessary and would cost $25. But that's not all, when I got home, I noticed that the receptionist had charged me $153 on my card. I didn't understand where this amount came from because it should have been $125 + $3 tax (for one tooth) + $50 (for another tooth) + $25 (for the X-ray). I called the office to ask why they had charged me more than they should have, and they replied that they didn't know what I had agreed upon with the doctor, and the doctor had instructed them to charge $153 for the service, not $128, suggesting that I may have misunderstood the doctor. They spoke to me rudely and didn't even apologize. This example is not about root canals, crowns, fillings, or any major surgery. It's about ready-made crowns that simply needed to be attached, and the doctor tried to overcharge me at every opportunity. Please be cautious when choosing a dental clinic and dentist. I would advise avoiding Dr. Alexander Genkin.

Dr. Genkin is very knowledgeable and gentle, and he always lets me know what my treatment options are before starting any procedure. I recommend him without hesitation!

I moved to a different state and come back to get my teeth fixed w Dr. Genkin. I trust Dr. Genkin's knowledge and professionalism 100% and would recommend him to anyone. On top of him being great at what he does, he's always in a good mood, eager to help, enthusiastic and energetic and makes you feel important. The last time I had a very bad situation and my new dentist at the state that I moved to only gave me 2 options that were very invasive and expensive and told me I'll have to wait becaus

I don't usually write reviews but I just want to warn people so they wouldn't have problems that I had. My doctor was dr. Genkin and he placed the crown on the tooth that was just broken. He warn me that the crown can fall off because the tooth was broken a little deep to the root and of course eventually I will need to place an expensive implant on that place. After a few months I had a terrible pain on that tooth I went to another dentist he said that the crown was placed so wrong that all t
